Guided by the wild,
driven by you.
A premium safari, done properly.
Velvet Wild Safaris was founded on a simple frustration: too many Kenya safaris are rushed, generic and priced opaquely. We set out to do the opposite — private trips, expert guides, and clear USD pricing from the very first conversation.
Today we focus on four destinations we know intimately: the trails of Mount Kenya, the big-cat plains of the Maasai Mara, the elephant country of Amboseli, and the white sand of Diani. Each trip is built around a single guest group, on their dates, at their pace.
We're not the cheapest operator in Kenya — and we don't pretend to be. We are the ones who'll get you to the summit, find the lion at first light, and have a cold drink waiting when you come off the beach. That's the Velvet Wild standard.
The Velvet Wild standard
Expert, certified guides
Mountain-trained, KPSGA-certified safari guides who've spent their lives in these landscapes. They don't just drive — they read the bush.

Clear USD pricing
Every package shows a from-price in US dollars, with included and excluded items listed plainly. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Four signature destinations
We go deep, not wide. Mount Kenya, Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Diani — mastered, not skimmed.
