East Africa is not a backdrop. It is alive — and every trail, river, and ridgeline has a story. Our expeditions are designed so you feel that, not just observe it. We move slow enough to notice things, and deep enough into the wild that the ordinary world falls away.
Every itinerary on this page is one we have personally run, refined, and run again. They work because they are built from experience, not from a brochure.

Every itinerary is fully supported with logistics, guides, and safety — so you can focus on the experience.
Mountain Biking
A 7-day fully supported loop starting and ending in Nanyuki. Ride through community ranchlands, wildlife conservancies, and the Mukogodo forest — one of the most immersive cycling routes in East Africa.
Wildlife Safari
An 8-day route from Nanyuki that takes in Solio Ranch, Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Ngare Ndare forest, and the Maasai Mara — a logical sequence with no backtracking and increasing wilderness intensity.
Mountain Climbing
A 3-day summit expedition via the scenic Sirimon route, ascending to Point Lenana at 4,985m. A direct, well-paced climb through moorland and alpine terrain with a summit sunrise. Fully supported by guide Francis and porters.
Day Hike
A rewarding acclimatisation and scenic alpine day hike from Old Moses Camp to the "Lunch Point" viewpoint on Mount Kenya. Ideal as a standalone adventure or preparation for a summit attempt.
Kilimanjaro
The most scenic route up Kilimanjaro, passing rainforest, heath, alpine desert, and the arctic summit zone. A 7-day itinerary strongly recommended over 6 days for significantly higher summit success rates.
Fly Fishing
Equatorial trout fishing at altitude. Cold, clear mountain rivers and remote highland lakes beneath African skies — one of the world's least-known fly-fishing destinations, and one of the finest.
