Your Own Out of Africa Experience

As soon as you step off the plane, you will feel like you've stepped straight onto the movie set for Out of Africa (best you be wearing your classiest Khakis, dah-ling!). However, here you'll witness an even better show than the classic African film. Yes, that's right — part of The Great Migration takes place in Kenya's fairytale-like landscapes.

Kenya is also versatile, with diverse landscapes promising various exciting activities. Going on Big 5 safari drives to hiking or exploring the cultural ways of the local Masaai tribes, it promises to be an enlightening trip. Although homosexuality is illegal in Kenya, tourists are exempt and can freely explore the country with our hand-picked service providers.

Homosexuality is not legal in Kenya, and same-sex marriage is not recognised. However, tourists in designated areas are free to do as they please as long as guests are respectful of local regulations when out in public.

Is Kenya Safe for Gay Couples?

You can have that dream East African safari in Kenya as a gay couple! Even though the law is against homosexuality, gay tourists are welcome.
