Signature Guided Safaris® Journeys
Private Kenya Safari
THE ORIGINAL DESTINATION FOR SAFARIS and African explorations and the birthplace of the luxury safari experience, Kenya’s highlands and valleys have been documented far and wide yet so much of the true gems of safari life remain secret and off-the-beaten path, offering a glimpse of an old-world, untampered Africa. Our choice safari locations are the Chyulu Hills private reserves and the Laikipia Plateau of Central Kenya by-passing the tourist-laden public parks. This is the true explorer’s adventure, for a truly private Kenya.
SIGNATURE PRIVATE JET SAFARI ACROSS KENYA Close-up encounters on the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro with the most unique lodge in Africa, where Elephants and Lions come to your doorstep to sip at the waterhole.

Luxury and privacy are artfully intertwined at our private sanctuary in Laikipia. The elegant Segera House and the distinctive Villa Segera have been meticulously crafted to provide the utmost comfort.

Awaken each morning to the breathtaking sight of Mount Kenya framed by a century-old cactus hedge that has long shielded Segera from wandering predators.
Embarking on a safari at Segera is more than a luxury experience—it’s a commitment to conservation. The sanctuary is home to Kenya's second-highest density of wildlife, including endangered species like the Patas Monkey, Grevy’s Zebra, and African Wild Dog. It also serves as a vital migratory corridor for elephants. Over 200 bird species have been recorded here, and a diverse array of animals roam freely across Segera’s varied landscapes, defined by wooded savannahs, four rivers and riverbeds, and a stunning cascading waterfall.
