Remote Safaris

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Do you want to be fully immersed in nature and take the road less travelled? A remote safari in Kenya will take you to under-the-radar spots for secluded experiences in the wilderness.

Why Should You Go on a Remote Safari in Kenya?

Secluded Safari Experience

If you want to enjoy a more private and personalised safari experience, opt for a remote safari in Kenya. This will allow you to escape the crowds and explore vast, untouched wilderness areas that are rarely visited.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Accommodations

While on a remote safari, you’re able to stay in luxury accommodations devoid of mass crowds and enjoy exclusive wildlife viewing. Imagine a front-row seat as wildlife gathers at a waterhole.

Serenity and Solitude

Due to the remoteness of these safaris, this experience is perfect for travellers seeking complete peace in the bush.

Explore Lesser-Known Routes

A remote safari takes you to some of the least-visited parks in Kenya, where you can encounter unique ecosystems and rare wildlife away from the more popular routes.

Immersion in Nature

Do you want to completely disconnect from daily life and technology so that you can fully immerse yourself in nature? A remote Kenya safari is ideal for you, as it’s the perfect opportunity for a digital detox and a reconnection with nature.

Best Destinations for a Remote Safari in Kenya

Samburu National Reserve

Samburu offers a quieter safari experience with fewer crowds compared to more popular destinations like the Masai Mara. The reserve is home to the unique Samburu Special Five (Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and beisa oryx), alongside classic safari animals.

Meru National Park

Meru National Park is one of Kenya’s least visited safari destinations, making it an ideal choice for a remote safari experience. It offers a true sense of wilderness with lush greenery, numerous rivers, and abundant wildlife. Animals roaming here include elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and zebras.

5 Tips for a Remote Safari in Kenya

1. Pack Extra Supplies

As remote accommodations have limited access to amenities and you’ll be in the middle of nowhere, it’s best to be overly prepared. Pack extra supplies so that you’re not caught unawares.

2. Opt for Fly-In Safaris

A fly-in safari uses light aircraft to take you to different destinations within national parks. This allows for easier access to remote locations and cuts down on your overall travel time.

3. Be Prepared for Long Travel Times

As the locations are remote on this safari experience, it can take a while to reach them. Expect long drives between places. The setting more than makes up for this, as you’ll be able to spot wildlife along the way.

4. Bring Powerbanks

At remote safari accommodations, your access to electricity will be limited. So, bring extra camera batteries and power banks to charge your devices.

5. Expect Basic to Luxury Amenities

Some accommodations are considered to be on the more luxurious side with hot showers and electricity, while others are basic with just the absolute necessities.
