Best Places to Visit For African Safaris

Where to Visit For your Next African Safari Holiday

The verdant Mathews Ranges lies between Laikipia and Kenya’s northern border. Spanning approximately 150 kilometers, it is remote and largely untouched. This area is a true wilderness. The Mathews mountain range is a secluded retreat for those fortunate enough to explore it. The forest provides an excellent opportunity for hiking through riverine valleys and crossing streams, guided by local Samburu people.

Pack For a Purpose
