2026 Women-Only Kenya Safari Itinerary
Do you love the song "Africa" by Toto? Do you jump up and dance or swing your hips every time its on? Well, if yes. You would be the perfect fit for this all-women's safari.
I am 53 and in the pilot version of this Safari in November 2025, we had many women aged over-50. However, as I also like to travel with my daughter, I have made it open to all ages.
This is a safari that you have not heard of before. It is different, has a personality and will give you so many memories that you will want to come back for more.
My name is Bena Roberts and I am a wine-drinking, happy woman who was about to retire, then found Kenya!
No really. Just as I least expected it, I was offered this position as Director of Women's Safaris and NGO Activities. When I am not in the office, then I will personally host these all-women safaris in Kenya.
This safari on October 11, 2026 is my favourite. It's exclusive, fun and full of activities that you will love. Open your heart to Kenya, not for a few days but make an impact with me and join my fully hosted, women's luxury Safari.
Below you will find our current 2026/ 2027 departures. These are small-group, women-only experiences where every lodge has been hand-picked by me, and every moment is designed to leave a positive footprint on the communities we meet.
My Wildlife Encounters in Kenya
Wildlife encounters in Kenya can change daily. I remember when I was just day dreaming, the guide spotted a leopard in a tree! Or I was taking a selfie in the 4x4 when we stopped in front of several lions. My favourite safaris are the ones that are relaxed. I don't like to chase animals. You don't need to they come to you!
Kenya's elephant conservation efforts protect icons like the famous Craig. Our journey supports these local initiatives
This picture was taken by GK on my Safari. I could not get the perfect shot, but he got this for me and I love it!
Extremely rare and endangered Mountain Bongos, just rocked up to meet GK and myself. It must have been my animal Reiki!
As we were planting the tree at Larsens camp, GK showed me my first snake in Kenya. Here it is!
Landscapes that Shape a Kenyan Safari
Kenya's Safari Regions are defined as much by landscape as by wildlife. Wide savannahs, acacia-dotted plains, river crossings, and shifting light create a sense of scale and stillness. I think it is magical. I have fallen in love with it.

You can see everything and wildlife does not hide from you. How many elephants are there?

A typical day on our unique Safari!
Days on safari are not hectic. They start with an amazing breakfast and a game drive. You can also go on a bush walk or relax at the pool. Midday is your space for photographs and relaxation. But the excitement starts in the evenings with shared meals, good conversation, Reiki, fireside honey tasting and open skies.
This video is in Samburu!
The landscape here is different. It is rugged and reminds me of the hills of Southern Europe.
