YOUR SAFARI, YOUR WAY
100% Private Kenya Safaris, Tailor-Made for You
Your Safari. Your Vehicle. Your Guide. Your Adventure.
At Breath of Savanna Safaris and Events, we specialize in 100% private, tailor-made safaris in Kenya and East Africa. From the moment you arrive, your safari is designed around you — your travel dates, interests, preferred accommodation, pace and budget.
Unlike shared or group-joining safaris, our private safaris give you the freedom to enjoy the African wilderness exclusively with your own travel companions. You travel in a private 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with a professional local guide, giving you greater flexibility and a more personal safari experience.
Whether you're dreaming of witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Maasai Mara, encountering large herds of elephants at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, going gorilla trekking in Uganda, or exploring the vast Serengeti plains in Tanzania, we turn every journey into an unforgettable African adventure.
From thrilling game drives and cultural experiences to beach escapes in Diani, Zanzibar and the East African coast, we carefully combine exceptional destinations, handpicked accommodation and authentic experiences to create a safari that is uniquely yours.

Travel That Gives Back.

At Breath of Savanna Safaris and Events, we believe tourism should benefit the people and communities that make East Africa such a special destination. A portion of every safari booking goes toward supporting local communities across Kenya, helping contribute to meaningful local initiatives and creating a positive impact beyond the safari experience.
When you travel with us, you are not only discovering Africa — you are helping support the communities around the destinations you visit.

OUR PRINCIPLES
Four Pillars of Excellence
The principles that guide how we travel, how we operate, and how we create meaningful experiences across East Africa.
01
W
Wildlife First
Every decision begins with: what's best for the animals and their habitat? We operate with the lightest possible footprint.
02
C
Community Partners
We employ locally, buy locally, and support Maasai community conservation funds. Tourism must benefit those who protect the land.
03
P
Private Only
All safaris are 100% private — your vehicle, your pace, your perfect experience. Never shared. Never rushed. Always yours.
04
S
Sustainable Travel
We partner with eco-certified properties and support anti-poaching initiatives. The future of the wild depends on today's choices.
✦
Travel with purpose. Protect what makes Africa extraordinary.
OUR COMMITMENT
Conservation &
Sustainability
Every safari should leave a positive footprint. We are committed to protecting wildlife, supporting local communities and preserving Africa for generations to come.
01
Wildlife Conservation
A percentage of every safari booking is directed to Kenya Wildlife Service conservation programmes, anti-poaching operations in the Masai Mara ecosystem, and community conservancy funds that incentivise local land protection over alternative land use.
02
Community Benefit
We employ locally, source food and supplies from local businesses, and route our Maasai cultural visits to communities that receive direct revenue from tourism. When you visit a Maasai village on our safari, 100% of the visit fee goes directly to the community.
03
Low-Impact Travel
We partner exclusively with eco-certified lodges and camps that use solar power, practice responsible waste management, and operate within strict game-drive protocols that minimise disturbance to wildlife and their natural behaviours.
COMMUNITY
THE MAASAI PARTNERSHIP
04
COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION
The Maasai
Partnership
The Maasai people have been the guardians of Kenya's southern rangelands for centuries. Their traditional pastoral lifestyle, which coexists with wildlife rather than displacing it, has preserved millions of acres of critical wildlife corridor outside the formal protected area system.
Community conservancies run by Maasai landowners — including the Olare Motorogi, Ol Kinyei, and Mara North Conservancies surrounding the Masai Mara — protect over 500,000 acres of prime wildlife habitat. When you stay in a conservancy camp on a Breath of Savanna safari, your accommodation fee directly funds the community land lease that keeps this habitat open for wildlife.
This model — known as community-based conservation — is widely recognised as the most effective approach to long-term wildlife protection in Kenya, and we are proud to support it through every safari we run.
“
Every time you choose Breath of Savanna Safaris, you are directly contributing to the conservation of Kenya's wildlife and the wellbeing of the communities that protect it.
