A Rare Safari. A Privileged Route.
GROUP ESCORTED TOUR

ABOUT THE TOUR

This is no ordinary journey. All internal travel is by private plane, taking us from Nairobi to Kidepo Valley in Uganda – a wild, game-rich park that few travellers ever reach – then on to Koros Camp near Lake Turkana, one of Kenya’s most remote and captivating regions.
With just ten or eleven guests, this is a unique opportunity to explore the wild heart of East Africa in comfort and privacy. A safari for those who’ve seen the classics – and want something different.

1 night in Nairobi. 4 nights in Kidepo. 3 nights in Turkana.

Apoka Safari Lodge – Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda

Perched on a rocky kopje with sweeping views of the Narus Valley, Apoka Safari Lodge is the only fully serviced lodge inside Kidepo. Its spacious rooms, crafted from wood, thatch and canvas, open onto private verandas with outdoor bathtubs – perfect for soaking in the solitude. The lodge is a peaceful yet luxurious base from which to explore one of Africa’s most remote and wildlife-rich parks.

Koros Camp – Lake Turkana, Northern Kenya

Tucked into a ridge above the sand dunes of the Kaisut Desert, Koros Camp offers exclusive access to Kenya’s far north. With just six charming bandas, it’s an intimate wilderness escape where you can disconnect completely. Whether quad biking through volcanic landscapes, fishing on Lake Turkana or simply stargazing under pitch-black skies, the camp blends raw adventure with rustic comfort.

Testimonial 6
“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91ºÚÁÏÍø were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.
