Kenya

August 6–14, 2027

9 Days, 8 Nights

A father and four sons. A river, a working conservancy, and a sunrise summit of Point Lenana. Built privately, run end to end by West Zephyr.

Discover

This trip moves in a single line north from Nairobi: white water on the Sagana the morning after you land, three nights on the Ol Pejeta conservancy with a private guide, vehicle, and chef, then four days on Mount Kenya with a full expedition crew, and a recovery night on the equator before you fly home. Nothing here is off a shelf. The safari house is booked out for your group alone, and the mountain crew runs private departures only: two guides, a camp manager, a cook, and a porter team for five climbers. The itinerary is sequenced for acclimatization, with two nights at 1,800 meters on the conservancy before you step on the mountain.
