Kenya celebrations

A celebration in the Kenyan bush is hard to better: one house for the party, a guide and vehicles that belong to you, and a dinner under the stars that no restaurant can match. The logistics are easier than they look because the house team does this often.

Tell us the occasion, the size of the party and the month. We shortlist houses that fit and plan the evening that matters.

Where we go

Exclusive-use houses in Laikipia and on the Mara conservancies that sleep eight to sixteen, with a pool, staff and private guiding. Nairobi is a single night at most. A coast finish at Lamu or Diani gives the party a slower second act.

How the week runs

Guests arrive over a day or two and are met at the airstrip. Game drives run in two or three vehicles at different paces; walks, riding and the pool fill the afternoons. The celebration dinner is planned with the hosts in advance: a bush setting, a chef, lanterns and a toast at sunset.

Who it suits and when

Significant birthdays, anniversaries and families gathering three generations. July to October and January to March are the classic months; the green season suits a party that wants the house to itself at a gentler price.

Best time
July to October for the migration; January to March for clear skies and fewer vehicles. April and May are green and quiet.

Questions about celebrations in Kenya

Can the whole house be ours?

Yes. The houses we propose are exclusive-use, so the party has the staff, the vehicles and the schedule to itself.

Is there a planning fee?

No. The first conversation and the proposal are free. You pay when you accept the plan.

Is this a live booking?

No. It is a starting point. A specialist writes a private proposal and availability is confirmed then.
