What's this trip about?

    Seeing Spots, Stripes & Trumpets with Conservation Experts Discover Kenya’s rich wildlife and its diverse cultures with Rupi Mangat, a third generation local and a leading Kenyan travel writer who lives in this tropical paradise on the Equator, the denizen of big game – elephants and rhino; lions, leopards and cheetahs; and mighty raptors that soar the skies. Imagine waking up every day to a saffron sun rising over the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. Kenya’s tapestry of sweeping grasslands, arid plains and lush swamps with snow-topped mountains is home to spectacular life.Contemplate watching elephants under the gaze of the snow-capped Kilimanjaro and ending the day with a game drive to catch the ‘golden light’. This specially curated safari is for you to be awed by Africa’s big game as well as dynamic scientists – all women – who have pioneered research projects that give you a front seat view of African life in the 21st century with the hope of survival thanks to scientists and people who have dedicated their lives to it. All camps are luxurious with en suite baths and toilets, spas, swimming pools and gourmet meals.

Discovering a new place with a small group of women is a completely different experience than going on your own or with a larger mixed group. After our first glass of wine on night one, the stories and laughter begin. By the end of the week, people have made life-long friends. Watching this beautiful connection happen, for me, is the magic of Girls’ Guide to Paris and Beyond.

At Girl’s Guide we are all about camaraderie & bonding
We love adventure, knowledge and discovery
We value kindness, down-time and little luxuries
We delight in new-found friends, experiences and insight
We celebrate diversity, in age, background and thought
We are globally minded
We don’t shy away from new tastes and smells
We appreciate good wine, wonderful food (not to mention turn-down service at hotels)
Discovery excites us
Meeting new people intrigues us
A beautiful doorway or a vibrant vista inspires us
And we always say a big merci for all that life has to offer us
Meet as strangers…leave as friends
