Wildest Kenya from the Mathews Range to the Masai Mara with Richard Bangs

Join legendary adventurer and MT Sobek co-founder Richard Bangs on a truly extraordinary walking safari across the wild heart of Kenya. From the shores of Lake Turkana and the lush remote valleys of the Mathews Range to the game-rich plains of the Masai Mara, this 12-day journey blends the thrill of exploration with the awe of wildlife encounters—all on foot. Experience a deeper connection to Kenya’s iconic landscapes as you trek through diverse ecosystems on expertly guided walks, enjoy classic game drives, and witness the savanna from above in a hot-air balloon. Along the way, stay in a curated mix of mobile and permanent safari camps that bring you closer to nature without sacrificing comfort.

 

Inspired by Richard’s own unfinished journey from decades past, this once-in-a-lifetime trip is more than a safari—it’s a return to wonder, an invitation to venture boldly into the unfamiliar, and a call to awaken your inner explorer. Walk the land, listen to the stories, and go someplace you’ve never been.

Highlights include:
  •  

  • •  Walking safaris in Turkana, the untamed Mathews Range, Laikipia Plateau and Masai Mara

  • •  Wildlife encounters on foot and by 4x4 in the Masai Mara

    •  A sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the savanna

    •  Authentic cultural connections with indigenous communities

    •  Nights under the stars at intimate, wilderness safari camps

    •  Special guest insights and storytelling with Richard Bangs
