Why travellers from Italy choose us

Built for the way you travel

Italians have loved the Kenyan coast — Malindi, Watamu, Diani — for generations. Pair that with a real safari in the Mara or Amboseli and you have the trip Italian travellers actually dream about: wildlife, then the beach, then a long lunch.

Most Italian guests take 12–15 days, almost always combining a safari with a week on the coast. We pace it so jet lag doesn't eat into the holiday.
