Kenya is not simply a country for world class wildlife holidays. The beautiful landscapes that play host to the majestic animals you can spot doubles as a natural adventure playground for thrill seekers. On this short break in Kenya, trek to waterfalls on the slopes of it's tallest mountain, mountain bike along trails that take you far from the tourist trails, and raft through the jungle on some of the best rapids in the world.
Your five days in Kenya starts when you are picked up from Nairobi airport and are taken straight to your first stop, an adventure camp on the banks of the Sagana River, where you have a chance to relax and refresh, ready for your whirlwind adventure.
From there, you’ll spend the next four days rafting down the mighty Tana river, biking some of Kenya’s finest single-track trails and hiking to lost waterfalls on the stunning slopes of Mt Kenya. You’ll sleep in cosy riverside cottages and relax around warm fires at Castle Forest lodge, where Elizabeth stayed before she became Queen.
From sleeping under the stars at a hilltop wild camp to sharing stories of thrilling days around the campfire, this is a trip that guarantees to create long lasting memories of genuine adventure and exploration of remote, beautiful corners of Kenya.

Our company was established in 1990 by our founder Mark Savage. Mark was a bush pilot at the time and flew his plane up the Athi River. He spotted what looked like fantastic rafting. A year later he purchased his first raft and paddles.
The operation moved up to Sagana and the Tana river, where it has grown and grown. James Savage, Marks’s son, now runs the company and it has grown into Kenya’s top outdoor adventure provider, facilitating adventure trips to all ends of Kenya.
Arrive in Nairobi & transfer up to your adventure camp on the banks of the Sagana River. Here you will have an afternoon to relax and refresh around the swimming pool after your journey, to get you ready for the days of activity you have ahead.
If you feel like you have the energy, you can try some of the onsite activities such as the zip-line or climbing wall.
