What a Peponi Safari Feels Like

Imagine waking before dawn, the world still quiet, the air cool, the sky beginning to glow.
You hold a warm cup of coffee in one hand, listening to the sounds of the savannah waking — distant calls, footsteps in the grass, the first light breaking over the plains.

This is not mass tourism. This is safari, unhurried and intimate.

Small Groups, Remarkable Adventures

With no more than six guests per vehicle and a carefully curated itinerary,

our safaris offer a more exclusive and deeply immersive way to experience Kenya.

This allows us to:

  • Linger longer in the wilderness as unforgettable moments unfold

  • Adjust routes and timing to follow the rhythm of the bush

  • Seize rare opportunities as conditions and wildlife sightings change

  • Ensure every guest enjoys space, comfort, and unobstructed views

A more intimate safari means more freedom, more elegance, and more extraordinary encounters.

Our Photography Masterclass Safari - learn to see, not just shoot

Photography on safari can be overwhelming — rapidly changing light, animals moving and not in the right position for you, moments unfolding quickly.
Led by Sony-recognised photographer, Shilen Haria, our photography safaris are designed to slow all of that down and give you some control.

What makes this different:

Everything included in the Signature Safari, plus you will learn:

  • How to anticipate behaviour

  • How to use light creatively

  • How to compose powerful images

  • How to build a photographic story

  • How to work with fast‑moving situation

Most photography tours rush to the next sighting.
We stay, we wait, we read the landscape and try to anticipate animal behaviour … we let the moment happen.

Guests must bring their own camera equipment. We can provide advice and recommendations on the most suitable gear for the Mara and have partnered with leading Australian camera stores to obtain the best prices and rental options.

Shilen is available to answer any questions you may have on the above.
