The Ultimate Adventure in Kenya

Your host is an expert in adventure travel in Kenya, being based there with their own adventure camp and years of experience running a variety of trips all over the country. In the unlikely event that adverse conditions affect any of the regions or activities on this itinerary, alternatives will be arranged.

The tap water in Kenya is not safe for international travellers to drink. Your host will provide drinking water throughout, while each of the accommodations on the trip also have safe drinking water for guests. You'll need to bring along a water bottle to fill up with to have with you on the activities, journeys and game drives on this trip.

At Much Better Adventures, we work hard to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies so your trip is safe, inclusive and enjoyable. That said, options can vary by country, location and accommodation, and in some places options may be limited or unavailable. The information below has been provided by your host so you’re fully informed about what will be possible on your trip depending on your individual requirements. This information should be read carefully prior to your trip to ensure that you are adequately prepared for the situation ‘on the ground’.

Once you have booked on your trip, please fill out your passenger information form asap with any dietary requirements. Once you complete your passenger information, your dietary needs and any allergies are automatically shared with your host and, in turn, your guide. Please submit this as early as possible so they can plan accordingly and deliver the best experience. Please also remind your guide about your dietary requirements upon arrival, as mentioning these in person allows your guide to comprehend individual preferences and limitations as soon as you arrive.

Vegetarian: Vegetarian diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Vegan: Vegan diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Halal: Halal diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Kosher: Fully certified Kosher kitchens and supervision are rare in the regions visited on this trip, and usually cannot be guaranteed unless expressly confirmed in advance by your host. Vegetarian or vegan options can often be the most reliable alternative if this is acceptable to you. Please read the related sections above.

Gluten-Free: Gluten-free diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Lactose-Free: Lactose-free diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance.

Allergies: Our host has confirmed that provision for certain mild and severe or life-threatening food allergies on this trip may be unreliable. Please get in touch with our Customer Experience team prior to booking to discuss whether your requirements can be accommodated safely on this trip.

This will allow us to carefully consider the sensitivity and severity of your allergy, the available provision on the trip and the accessibility of medical care should a reaction occur. Your safety is always our top priority. Please note that when travelling overseas, local ingredients, food preparation methods and labelling standards may vary, particularly in remote areas. It is also worth noting that any allergies may result in more limited options and repetitive provision in some areas. Whilst your guide will help communicate dietary requirements where possible, customers remain responsible for managing their own allergies during the trip.

The visit to Maji Moto is designed with community at its heart, and is considered one of the most authentic experiences with the Maasai in all of Kenya. This cultural camp is hosted by local Maasai people, offering an immersive chance to learn about daily life, traditions and skills such as tracking and storytelling directly from Maasai guides. It is an authentic cultural exchange rather than a staged performance, and proceeds contribute to community initiatives including education and local conservation efforts. The campsite itself is intentionally simple to reflect its setting in the Loita Hills, with simple tented accommodation with bedding, a campfire, and minimal facilities, all part of the genuine East African bush experience.

Kenya offers great wildlife viewing year‑round, but what you see depends on the season. The dry months from July to October and again in January and February tend to concentrate wildlife around water sources, making it easier to spot large mammals and classic safari species. During these months you’ll have your best chance of seeing iconic animals like lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos – the full Big Five – especially on game drives in the Maasai Mara. In the rainy season (April to June), the landscape is greener and birdlife is abundant, animals can be more dispersed but there are fewer tourists around, so this is still an excellent time to visit. Whichever time you go, the mix of guided game drives, conservancy cycling and walking safaris offers excellent opportunities to connect with Kenya’s wildlife.

The Soysambu Conservancy is run by a non‑profit organisation dedicated to protecting over 48,000 acres of iconic Rift Valley habitat and the wildlife that depends on it. The conservancy balances conservation with community support, working with local schools and research programmes while maintaining natural ecosystems and species such as Rothschild’s giraffe, flamingos and other wildlife around Lake Elmenteita. Your visit helps support these efforts by bringing responsible tourism and awareness to this lesser‑visited part of Kenya’s wild landscape.

You're travelling through both the Great Rift Valley and Kenya's highland regions on this trip. These parts of Kenya enjoy fairly consistent, comfortable temperatures throughout the year. Days are typically warm, with highs ranging from 22–28°C (72–82°F), while nights can be cooler, especially when camping – you can expect lows of around 10–14°C (50–57°F). July to October is the driest period and offers excellent wildlife viewing in the Maasai Mara, with crisp mornings and clear skies. November to March brings warmer days and occasional afternoon showers, turning the landscapes greener. April to June is the rainy season: expect some rain storms in the afternoons, but also quieter conservancies and fewer safari vehicles. Whatever the month, a warm layer and waterproof jacket are recommended for early mornings, evenings and while at camp.
