Kenya’s Remote Corners by Private Helicopter

This journey spans Kenya’s most exclusive reserves and private estates, combining immersive wildlife encounters with access to remote cultural landscapes. Guests will track rhino in a leading conservation stronghold, travel deep into the north by private helicopter, and meet indigenous communities rarely visited by outsiders. Large predators, elephant, and seasonal bird migrations feature alongside experiences tailored to the rhythms of each environment.

From the heights of Borana to the arid Suguta Valley, each location is accessed by private charter or helicopter, ensuring complete flexibility. Remote expeditions are balanced with time in luxurious retreats, concluding on the Indian Ocean coast at a private beach house. Every area is managed under strict low-impact conservation policies, with no outside vehicles and minimal visitor density, creating a journey defined by both exclusivity and ecological integrity.
