Experience the Magic of Kenya

It is hard to visit Africa without experiencing the incredible safari life and witnessing the wild animals in their natural habitat. Kenya is rich in biodiversity, culture and history. We are honored to share this incredible land with our groups. After 20 years of running safaris in Kenya, we selectively picked Samburu for our MedTreks Safari, as it has first-class game viewing.

• Witness the magical landscape of Kenya’s vast open plains
• Experience the magnificent creatures in their natural habitat
• Stay in a luxury tented camp with a stunning 360 view of Kenya
• Savor delicious Kenyan cuisine in the open-air restaurant overlooking the Ewaso River

Samburu National Reserve is home to a very large population of Kenyan animals including Nile crocodile, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo & hippos.

Experience the most incredible views of Africa. Fall asleep to the sounds of the animals… awake to Africa’s incredible sunrise.
