Maasai Mara
Wide plains thick with lion, leopard and cheetah — and the Migration's river crossings from July. Choose a private conservancy for off-road drives and almost no other vehicles.

The birthplace of safari
If we have a home in this story, it is here. Kenya is where we cut our teeth — and where we run the journeys we're proudest of.
Why a golf safari here
Unique edge
The Migration and real Open-host golf in one country
At altitude
A mile high, the ball flies a club longer
Coast & bush
The Mara and the Indian Ocean in one journey
The wild
The whole reason you come.
Kenya gives you everything at once: the Migration and the big cats, the warmest culture in Africa, lodges from grand colonial verandahs to barefoot contemporary — and, quietly, some of the continent's best golf.
Amboseli
Great herds of elephant beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro — the most iconic photograph in Africa, easier to capture than you'd think.
Laikipia & Samburu
High wild plains and Africa's great conservation successes — Lewa and Ol Pejeta — plus the Samburu's unique Special Five in the rocky north.
The golf
The rounds we'd play ourselves.
Par 71Nairobi · Open host
Muthaiga Golf Club
Founded 1913, redesigned by Peter Matkovich, set against the green wall of Karura Forest — the grand old club of East Africa and home of the Magical Kenya Open. The par-5 13th is the round's signature.
Par 72Nairobi · est. 1937
Karen Country Club
Lush, serene and impeccably kept beneath the Ngong Hills, beside Karen Blixen's Out of Africa farm. PGA-standard greens and a sense of history on every tee.
Par 72Kilifi coast
Vipingo Ridge
Africa's only PGA-accredited course — David Jones's links-style layout high above the Indian Ocean, host of the Magical Kenya Ladies Open. Many call it the finest course in East Africa.
Par 71Naivasha
Great Rift Valley Resort
Perched on the escarpment above Lake Naivasha, with zebra on the fairways and the theatrical 17th — the 'Princess of the Rift'. Hell's Gate National Park is the neighbour.
Graeme's tip
Spend in a conservancy bordering the Mara rather than the reserve itself. You'll pay a little more and get night drives, walking, and the place practically to yourself.
The Ladies' Pick
For ladies' groups here, start with Golf, Safari, Beach & More — and see our Ladies' Golf Safaris.

Good questions
Asked before you booked
Do I need a visa for Kenya?
Kenya uses a simple online eTA (electronic travel authorisation) which most nationalities complete in minutes before travel. We send you the link and walk you through it at booking.
When is the wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara?
The great herds are usually in the Mara from July to October, with the famous river crossings most likely August and September. If the migration is your priority, tell us — we will set the dates around it and be honest about what each month usually delivers.
Do I need malaria tablets and a yellow fever certificate?
Malaria prophylaxis is advised for the Mara, Amboseli and the coast — Nairobi itself is low-risk. A yellow fever certificate is only required if you arrive from certain countries; we confirm exactly what your routing needs at booking.
Can my non-golfing partner come?
Absolutely — while the golfers play, our Gallery programme runs parallel experiences: game drives, spas, wine, walks and markets, reunited for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.
How do I get an exact price?
Open any journey and choose Price a Private Version — adjust the nights, keep or drop rounds and experiences, tell us who is travelling, and our quoting engine returns an exact private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.
Are the hotel names confirmed?
Yes — every itinerary on this site names its exact properties, hand-picked from our register of fifty-two. None paid for, none reciprocated.
Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.
We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
