The Art of Nothing: How True Luxury Revealed Itself in the Quiet Moments

A safari isn’t all go, go, go. The midday hours are for rest, and this is where your lodge’s service truly shines. At my secluded camp, the staff noticed I loved reading. One afternoon, I returned from a drive to find a perfectly arranged lounger in a shady spot, with a cool drink waiting. This quiet, anticipatory service—where your needs are met before you even voice them—is the true definition of luxury in the bush. It’s the level of detail Visit Kenya partners are known for.

Dining Under the African Sky: A Foodie’s Surprise on Safari

Think safari food is just basic bush meals? Think again. I was blown away by the culinary artistry at my lodge. Imagine: breakfast set up on the bonnet of your Land Cruiser in the middle of the savannah, or a three-course dinner under a canopy of a million stars. The chefs work miracles in remote kitchens, blending international techniques with fresh local flavours. It was a gourmet adventure I never expected, perfectly complemented by the seamless service. Thanks to Visit Kenya for this delicious surprise.

The Golden Hour: Why Sunrise Game Drives Are Worth the 5 AM Wake-Up Call

That pre-dawn alarm can feel brutal, but I promise you, it’s the single best tip I can give any safari-goer. The golden light of sunrise transforms the landscape into a painting. It’s also the most active time for predators. I’ll never forget the sight of a cheetah family stretching in the soft morning light, a moment we’d have completely missed on an afternoon drive. It’s these moments that Visit Kenya excels at helping you find.

Beyond the Big Five: A Love Letter to the Savannah’s Unsung Heroes

Everyone chases the Big Five, but some of my most cherished safari moments have come from the ‘supporting cast’. The intricate dance of a dung beetle, the haunting laugh of a hyena at dusk, the mesmerising glide of a secretary bird… This post is a love letter to the weird and wonderful creatures that make the ecosystem tick. On my last trip, arranged by Visit Kenya partners, our guide’s passion for these lesser-known animals truly enriched the experience.
