PRIVATELY GUIDED SAFARIS, BUILT AROUND ACCESS, INSIGHT & TIME IN THE WILD
SIGNATURE MOBILE SAFARIS
Across Kenya
Our Signature Mobile Safaris are fully private journeys designed around you, moving through some of Kenya’s most remote and wildlife-rich landscapes. Every detail is thoughtfully personalised – from where you stay to how you witness with the wild.
Safari means “journey” in Kiswahili – the language of East Africa.
For generations, Kenya has carried the imagination of travelers and storytellers – a place where the natural world still shapes the rhythm of each day, drawing those who want to see the world and witness its wonders.
In the stillness of the wilderness, there is space to wander and marvel – to see ourselves anew, to connect deeply with those we care for, to celebrate and honor what matters the most. A safari is a calling for adventure, a journey to yourself – a memory of a lifetime in the making. We want you to see it for yourself. We think you’ll understand.
At the heart of this experience is mobile camping – an intimate way of moving through the wilderness, with private camps set in Kenya’s most iconic conservation areas during peak wildlife moments.
As partners of Ker & Downey, pioneers of photographic safaris since 1946 with over 80 years of shaping mobile camping, we carry forward a legacy rooted in a life lived in the bush and long-standing relationships across the region – opening rare access to places held close within Kenya’s conservation world a few can experience.
And we invite you to experience this extraordinary journey with us.

Welcome to a different way of travelling
across Kenya.
There is a moment on safari when everything clicks – watching elephants cross an open plain, sitting quietly as a sighting unfolds, waking up far from the outside world. This is a journey shaped at the right pace and deep understanding of the land, allowing you to move through the experience with presence and ease.
Local Knowledge & Guidance
Everwild Africa is a Kenya-based, family-run safari company, built from a life spent exploring and living in these landscapes.
Each safari is led by a private guide, shaping the experience day by day with instinct, care, and deep local knowledge. We take on a limited number of safaris each year, allowing us to remain closely involved in every journey we create.
Heritage & Rare Access
As partners of Ker & Downey, we carry a heritage of safari pioneers since 1946, reimagined through our own years working in the bush.
Through long-standing relationships with landowners, elders, and conservation leaders, we access some of Kenya’s most pristine and privately held wilderness areas – including conservancies and seasonal camps that are not widely reached.
Impact & Conservation
Our love story is Africa – the wildlife, cultures, and people who call this continent home. We share places that keep this spirit alive: remote, remarkable, and wild.
Supporting conservation, land protection, and the livelihoods of those who have lived here for generations remains at the heart of everything we do. Your safari directly contributes to these efforts.
There are as many ways to experience a safari
as there are birds on the savanna.
At its core, a safari is a thoughtfully crafted adventure that weaves together wildlife, landscapes, and remarkable places to stay. It unfolds across diverse regions, guided by local knowledge and shaped by the cadence of the wild. At Everwild Africa, safaris are built entirely around you – your pace, your interests, and how you want to experience Africa.
Mobile Camping & Wildlife
At the heart of the experience, private mobile camps offer a more immersive way to travel. Your camp is set up exclusively for you, thoughtfully designed and positioned with care as your journey unfolds - following wildlife, the seasons, and the places we know best.
Mobile Camping follows the rhythm of the land and the wildlife – creating a sense of presence that is both rare and deeply personal.
Selected Lodges & Coastal Villas
Boutique lodges by the river or beautifully designed coastal villas bring comfort and a strong sense of space. We favor smaller, independently run properties where guiding, location, and atmosphere come first. Each stay is considered, intimate, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Private houses and exclusive use options offer space, flexibility, and a more personal way to experience safari for families or groups. These carefully chosen lodges and camps provide ease while keeping you close to the wild.
Destinations & Experiences
Each journey is shaped around how you like to experience the adventure – on foot, by vehicle, or from the air. Activities include wildlife encounters, horse riding across open plains, scenic balloon flights, cultural experiences, and conservation programs.
Destinations span lush wetlands, vast savannas, and untamed coastlines. Kenya’s landscapes and cultures leave a lasting sense of wonder, with every element creating memories that stay with you long after the journey ends.
Mobile camping – a safari under a canopy of stars.
Experience the magic of Kenya’s wild heart through the most authentic kind of safari. A private camp set just for you, under vast skies and close to nature, where each day unfolds with a sense of freedom, presence, and quiet connection with the land and its people. This is safari as it was meant to be – untamed, immersive, and deeply personal.
Mobile camping offers a perfect balance of raw adventure and refined comfort, moving through Kenya’s most iconic conservation areas and creating a luxurious and intimate base during peak wildlife viewing periods.
Since 2020, Everwild Africa has partnered with Ker & Downey Safaris – pioneers of the photographic safari since 1946, with over 80 years of shaping mobile safaris. Founded by Donald Ker and Syd Downey, their legacy spans early expeditions, iconic films outfitters such as Out of Africa, and decades of hosting notable figures from Grace Kelly and John Wayne and National Georgaphic filmmakers.
Ker & Downey pioneered the concept of private tented camps in Kenya and maintain some of the longest-standing relationships with landowners, conservancies, and tribal leaders across the region. And we carry their approach defined by discretion, craftsmanship, and a profound respect for both wilderness and community.
Start creating a memory of your lifetime. Step into the wild with us.

OUR
MOBILE
CAMPING
-
When and Where: During the high season (June to September) and over the Christmas period, we establish exclusive Seasonal Camps in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
-
Availability: Throughout the year at any of our exclusive camping sites.
Adventure: These dynamic camps move with you, following the rhythm of the wilderness and granting you access to Kenya’s most remote and untouched corners. Your private mobile camp is set up in a remote, handpicked location just before your arrival and disappears without a trace when you depart, allowing you to enjoy a safari that evolves daily. Track seasonal wildlife movements and explore hidden landscapes, all while retaining the comfort and personal touch of a K&D camp.
-
Comfort in the Wild: Each spacious canvas tent is designed for both comfort and charm, featuring plush double or twin beds, soft feather duvets, handcrafted rugs, and a private verandah. En-suite bathrooms provide a piping hot safari shower and flushing loo—ensuring that adventure never means sacrificing comfort.
-
Diverse Activities: As the sun sets, gather around the campfire to recount the day’s adventures. Whether you’re embarking on private vehicle game drives, guided bush walks, night game drives, or scenic helicopter flights, your mobile camp serves as the perfect base to truly immerse yourself in the wilderness.
-
Bush Dining: At the heart of your mobile camp is our beautifully laid-out mess tent, where talented chefs prepare multi-course feasts using the freshest local ingredients. Hannah oversees the menu design, tailoring to each of the groups preferences, ensuring each dish is perfectly paired with the finest wines and accommodating any dietary needs or allergies. Enjoy every meal as a moment to savour, whether it’s a long, leisurely lunch under a shady tree or a candlelit dinner beneath a starry sky.

THE JOURNEY
Day 1-3
Nairobi
Hamilton House
Arrive into Nairobi where you are met and transferred to a private home in Karen.
Hamilton House is a calm and elegant start - a place to pause after travel, settle in, and begin to shift into the rhythm of the safari.
Dinner is relaxed, the gardens are quiet, and the pace is intentionally slow.
Days 2–4
Masai Mara
K&D Private Mobile Camp
For the moments you’ve always imagined
This is where it begins.
The Mara delivers the wildlife people dream of - but more importantly, it gives you the time and space to experience it fully.
You’re not moving from sighting to sighting. You’re staying with it. Watching behaviour unfold. Letting moments build.
And slowly, you realise you’re not just seeing it.
You’re part of it.
Day 5-7
Lakipia
Private House
For a deeper connection to the land
Laikipia shifts everything.Here, the experience opens up - riding across wide landscapes, walking with guides, spending time with rangers who protect this land, and understanding what it takes to keep it wild.
You stay in a private house, giving you space to breathe, to reset, to take it in at your own pace. And while you’re here, something quietly happens in the background. The camp moves.
Your crew packs everything down and travels ahead, setting up your next camp in Amboseli, ready for your arrival.
Days 8-10
Amboseli
K&D Private Mobile Camp
For a sense of place, and perspective
Amboseli brings a different kind of depth.
The wildlife is iconic - elephants moving beneath Kilimanjaro - but what stays with you is the atmosphere, and the connection to the people who live here.
It’s not just about what you see.
It’s about what you begin to understand.
And by the time you leave, the experience feels fuller.
More grounded. More real.

THE INVESTMENT
Journeys of this nature typically start from
USD 2,500 per person, per night
This reflects a privately guided safari, designed and run entirely around you - not a set departure or shared experience.
It includes everything required to move seamlessly through the journey:
Your private mobile camps, fully staffed and set exclusively for you
A highly experienced guide throughout
All meals and drinks, from early morning coffee to evenings by the fire
Internal flights and transfers between each location
The full crew and logistics team working behind the scenes, including moving camp ahead of you as the journey unfolds
What it doesn’t include are international flights, travel insurance, and a small number of additional activities depending on your preferences.
Each safari is tailored, so the final investment will vary depending on season, group size, and how you choose to travel.
For those who value doing this properly, it’s an investment that shapes the entire experience.

SAFARI
Q&A
-
Every safari begins with a conversation. We take time to understand how you like to travel, what draws you to Africa, and the pace that feels right for you. From there, we design a journey that is entirely considered and deeply personal. We live here, travel constantly, and often guide safaris ourselves — which means every decision is shaped by real, lived experience rather than a fixed itinerary.
-
There is no single “best” season — we guide you based on wildlife movements, landscapes, and the kind of experience you want to have. Safaris can include mobile camping in remote locations, walking, riding, or helicopter access to more off-grid and secluded areas, with many of the most meaningful moments happening off the vehicle.
-
Most journeys are 9–12 nights, combining private mobile camps with a small number of carefully chosen lodges or houses. We deliberately limit the number of moves, allowing more time in each place so the experience can unfold naturally and deepen rather than rush.
-
Entirely private. You travel with your own guide, at your own pace, without shared vehicles or fixed schedules. Each journey is shaped around you, allowing space for spontaneity, presence, and a deeper connection to the landscape.
-
You will always travel with a highly experienced private guide, and whenever possible, Finlay will guide the journey himself. We design every detail — from timing and logistics to property selection — to ensure the experience feels seamless. We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance for the best availability.
Begin Your Journey
If this feels like the kind of safari you’ve been looking for, the next step is a conversation.
We’ll talk through when you’d like to travel, what matters most to you, and begin shaping something around that - not from a template, but from the ground up.
From there, we’ll design a journey that feels considered, personal, and entirely your own.
