Women-Only Safaris
These are exclusively women-only group departures. We are a safe, supportive space where women can connect together without the dynamics of mixed-gender travel.
What Makes This Safari Ethical and Different
This women-only safari in Kenya was designed for travellers who want more than a traditional wildlife holiday. Our small-group journeys combine luxury safari experiences with genuine conservation partnerships and community engagement across Kenya.
Every itinerary is carefully curated by Bena Roberts and delivered in partnership with trusted Kenyan operator Best Safaris and Sunworld. The focus is simple: exceptional wildlife experiences that also support the landscapes, people, and conservation organisations that protect Kenya’s natural heritage.
Guests travel in small groups and stay in eco-rated luxury camps while participating in meaningful initiatives that support conservation, education, and community empowerment.
Through partnerships with organisations such as Community Wildlife Conservation, the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, and the Olmalaika Trust, travellers have the opportunity to see how responsible tourism can directly benefit local communities and wildlife.
Regenerative Travel: Reforestation in the Kenyan Highlands
We believe a safari should leave the landscape better than we found it. Through our partnership with the CWC, we offer guests the opportunity to participate in active reforestation. This isn't just a gesture; it’s a measurable environmental footprint.

Bushwalking in Kenya
Take part in guided educational bush walks in Kenya, learning about wildlife, tracking, ecosystems and conservation from experienced local guides.
Walking through the bush is a sensory awakening, but it requires respect and knowledge. Before we set out on our Samburu walks, I encourage all guests to read my Safari Survival Guide for a deeper understanding of the ecosystem.
