Rock My Kenya Adventure
14 Nights from £3,775*
Tour Overview & Highlights
Kenya is a land of breathtaking contrasts – where wild savannah meets snow-capped peaks and turquoise seas. This adventure takes you deep into its heart, combining unforgettable wildlife encounters, rich cultural immersion, and time to unwind on the Indian Ocean coast.
We begin with an incredible safari in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the last two northern white rhinos on earth.
Next, we journey north to the dramatic landscapes of Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Parks, where we’ll spot rare wildlife (the ‘Special 5’), swim in a natural spring, and visit the inspiring Umoja Women’s Village.
In Ngare Ndare Forest, we’ll hike beneath ancient trees, cross treetop walkways, and chase waterfalls, before heading to Amboseli, where elephants roam against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
We’ll round off the trip with some well-deserved beach time in Watamu – renowned for its white sands and rich marine life – before finishing in the vibrant coastal city of Mombasa.

Testimonials
“I knew it would be good but it exceeded my expectations.”
“This was my second Rock My Adventure tour. It was the trip of a lifetime with a great mix of culture and nature. I knew it would be good but it exceeded my expectations. The safaris were amazing, we saw so much. We saw so many animals up close, just like watching a wildlife programme in real life. I loved travelling in a group. It’s like travelling with friends. I am always apprehensive about meeting new people but everyone has a common interest and it’s not long before you’re enjoying sharing the holiday experience with them. The tour has a very personal touch and Helen really cares about everyone having their best experience. For me Helen’s knowledge, connections, care, attention and commitment to ensure everyone has a great time is exceptional.”

“Every day after was as impressive as the last.”
“After our first incredible safari day in the Masai Mara, I wondered how the rest of the trip could compare but every day after was as impressive as the last. I’ve wanted to visit Africa for as long as I can remember and all of my expectations were exceeded. We got to experience, city, safari, jungle and beach, spent some time off the beaten track with locals and some time on the beach with other tourists – the perfect balance. The trip was so well organised and Helen made sure everything ran smoothly, while spending time with us and sharing everything she knows of Kenya and Tanzania. It was lovely to experience all of these moments with a group of people that were equally as excited as me, Helen included. Coming home was very difficult, but it’s even harder trying to decide which trip I’ll go on next……””

“Definitely the best holiday I have ever been on.”
“Without a doubt the best tour I’ve ever been on. I loved every, single, bloody minute of this trip. From the minute it started in Nairobi I KNEW I was on the right tour. On meeting Helen and that instant connection of a kindred spirit. I even loved how we turned a long day of travel into a raving karaoke bus and had the best bloody day ever…just by having fun. I loved all the included activities and the optional ones too. I felt the itinerary we had was a good mix of everything, ensuring to see the best of the locations. Met my expectations, smashed passed them and blew right into the stratosphere. I wanted a slightly elevated tour, but without missing that connection to the people and the places, and this tour gave me all of that and more. YOU ROCKED MY ADVENTURE!!!”
