A great friend of mine, Charlie Babault, from my Kenya days, has been running safaris in Burma with his Burmese wife Nee Nee for many years now.

KENYA: December January 2018/19 price to be discussed (15 days 8 or 9 people is an ideal balance) Samburu, Masai Mara, Loita Hills, Nguruman Escarpment, Malindi Another long distance haul this time to my favourite country. I used to run an Antiques saleroom in Nairobi and have many wonderful memories of this country so rich in flora fauna culture history and landscape. You will be sleeping in fixed tented camps and travelling bubble tents that you can stand in. Camels carry the camp, and you, if you feel tired. This is not a holiday for those who wish for hotels or lodges. This is a safari for those who enjoy the rawness and appeal of the essence of Africa. It still comes under the title of a luxury safari but you are in the bush where it all happens. Ice cold drinks. Fires at night. An unbelievable experience.
