Women tours  

A Warm Welcome to the Active Woman.

While the  African safari has changed to be a passive vehicle bound affair, today's  +30 woman has embraced an active lifestyle and healthy living as her signature which she carries even into her vacation. She wants to be outdoors, safely engaging in flexible activity, staying in comfortable  hotels/lodges and with perfect logistics that make travel stress free. It is not always easy for women to travel on their own and it gets more difficult if you want to go on an active vacation, especially to Africa. My tours provide the perfect solution for solo women seeking to join a small group of active women traveling together.

As the co-owner of Ontdek Kenya and also an active woman who is passionate about outdoors, the Women-only tours are my invitation to active women to get off the bus and see Kenya through a “woman’s eye” in an unhurried pace, off the tourist circuit and with excellent opportunities for walking and wildlife viewing. The walks are non-competitive and without the macho feeling of expeditions. We handle all ground logistics leaving you free to enjoy your holiday. The level of fitness needed is not for top athletes; as long as one is reasonably healthy and enjoys being outdoors, she will thoroughly enjoy the tours.

The easily available game like Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles, Colobus Monkeys and the very interesting bird life are guaranteed interruptions during the walks. The scenery is ever changing and enticing; there are small lakes in the craters, tropical rain forests and snow on the Equator, high escarpments, hot springs and the open savannah. Masai Mara, one of the many highlights of our tours, is not just for the game but also for walks guided by Masai Morans.

What should you expect from my women walking tours?

• Walking itineraries that are designed for the active women who want more than just sitting in the safari bus all day.

• Flexible outdoor adventures by day, and superb food and comfortable accommodation at night. 

• The fun of being in a small group of maximum 12 women who have an adventurous streak just like you.

• Our experienced women guides will be your hosts, not just for showing the wildlife and guiding the walks but as trusted companions who will give you insights only a fellow woman can. Behind the scenes, they take care of the tour logistics, making sure everything runs smoothly and everybody has fun. 

• The comfort of knowing you are booking with a reliable operator. See the references of the reputable agents I'm in partnerships with. 

• True value for money. I strongly believe that women should not pay above the market prices just to be in an all women group.  

Kindly review some of our popular itineraries, the 10-days, 12-days and the 13-days walking tour. Compare them (day-to-day) with other safaris coming to Kenya and you will see that these tours are outstandingly different. Consider that I can run the tours with minimum 2 people and with a tailor-made itinerary. The very attractive prices depend on your party size and the period of travel.

So whether you are a group of friends, a family re-union or an all female team going on an incentive, my walking tours are a highly fulfilling and enriching way to see Africa. For tour operators offering women tours, the Kenya Walking Tours will be an exciting new destination for your clients and it makes a big difference to have a woman as your ground agent. I welcome a partnership discussion.
