Tours
Located along the equator on the eastern coast of Africa, Kenya’s motto of “Magical Kenya” implies something extra special and that’s exactly what you get. Kenya offers a diverse topographical landscape that encompasses dessert lands, savannahs, snowcapped mountains, lakes, valleys, volcanoes and white sandy beaches along its coast on the Indian Ocean with incredible activities suited to each. Although the capital city of Nairobi is as modern as they come, much of the culture of Kenya has remained timeless and unscathed by the fast past world of contemporary society. Being an African country one can’t help but think safari and Kenya offers all kinds. From, wildlife and big game, eco and marine, cultural, bird and even golf you will surely find that the activity of eating becomes a culinary safari all its own. There is such an abundance of natural fresh produce and cultural diversity that make the cuisine of this nation an adventure all its own.

This lake has a wide variety of habitats and ecological diversity. The flamingo is a popular bird to see in the lake as well as other water birds. There are 56 different species and about 550 plant species. It also features a beautiful waterfall. There’s a lot to take in here!

Numerous game drives take you out to catch a glimpse of the “big 5” (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinos). Kenya is a great place to be for spotting these magnificent animals, as large numbers of them call the region home. How many of each can you spot?

Destination Must-Do's
Samburu:
Life among this tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists revolves around their cows, sheep, goats, and camels. Dressed in traditional red clothing, they are great cultural ambassadors who welcome tourists to participate in traditional ceremonies, food and dances. Pay them a visit and don’t forget to purchase a handcrafted souvenir to remember them by.
Masai Mara:
This is the most popular reserve in all of Africa because there’s a lot to love about it. It has open savannas, big skies, wildebeest migrations, game, and a variety of birdlife to enjoy. The reserve is also the place where the film Out of Africa was shot, and home to the Masai people.
Giraffe Sanctuary:
Get up close and personal to feed the endangered Rothschild giraffes from a raised platform at the Giraffe Sanctuary. You’ll fall madly in love with these majestic and gentle giants. Sorry, they’re not up for adoption. They’re way too hard to bring home on the plane.
Learn about Tenderfeet, a Collette Foundation:
We support the Tenderfeet School. This school is very important to the children in the area. It provides them with food, clothes, and education. There is a classroom for every grade up until sixth grade and they prepare the children for middle and high school. The dream is to build a foundation for a better life for all of the children, which is now possible thanks to the help of momma Margaret, the Collette Foundation and everyone who supports Tenderfeet.
