Barrah Safaris
Custom-Built Safaris creating Once-In-a-Lifetime experiences.
Custom-Built Safaris creating Once-In-a-Lifetime experiences.
From camping on the plains, to staying in a jungle lodge, to sailing at sea, the options truly are endless.
With consultation, our guides build the perfect adventure for you.
We lead private group safaris in Kenya. We consult with you to understand your group’s wants and needs, and build a plan to suit.
We arrange everything, including, but not limited to, accommodation, transport and food, leaving no stone unturned.
Our family history in conservation in Kenya allows us to provide a Once-in-a-Lifetime trip,
whilst being fully sustainable in the local environment and economy.
Our ties to the Maasai root our safaris in a cultural framework, providing you with an experience that cannot be had elsewhere.
Mark, You unified our group in a way that I never expected. I believe we got along with each other as well as we did because of your leadership. That everything fell in place as schedule was part of the success of our trip, but even more important, I think, was that you took firm control of the reins and never let them go! And you were in the least offensive in doing so. Just as much, we appreciated your and Martin’s fantastic knowledge of the animals, their habits and the terrain. When I add to the above the wonderful food and accommodations that Key & Downey lined up, and the staff, particularly Lekuk and Lamebt, we couldn’t have asked for more. I will cherish my memories of Africa. Thank you!!
Dear Mark, Thank you for all the great memories during our safari! Thanks for pushing us out of our comfort zone and for your endless knowledge of the plants, animals and animal sounds. Thanks for all you have done to make our safari the trip of a lifetime. You and Bill and the team have done a fantastic job on all levels. We have all enjoyed your company and are sad to see the journey come to an end. Hopefully soon our family will be one of your repeat customers. Thanks again,
