The Original Safari Destination

In 1993, we created the Bush Homes of East Africa, as an association of private ranches, small intimate lodges, luxury tented camp, bush camps, coastal retreats and small up-country estates in the heart of Kenya and Tanzania. These "Bush Homes" have been in existence since European settlers came and lived off the land in the 19th century, when Africa was still considered a remote frontier where only the brave and rich ventured. Today, a few of these families whose ancestors settled this beautiful, fertile land still live on these spectacular properties. They have opened their doors to outsiders offering us the chance to experience true safari life as it was in decades past.

The Bush Homes

Founded in Kenya, the Bush Homes properties are located on private land and on conservation areas near or adjacent to the famous national parks and game reserves. Nearly seventy percent of Kenya' wildlife reside outside the parks. We see the same animal populations, and like the wildlife, are free to roam between private lands and national parks as we choose. Kenya is a land of contrasts, comprising of arid deserts, rich savannah's, snow capped mountains, large lakes and dense forests. The wildlife areas are as diverse as the country!

Safaris & Accommodations in Kenya

Pioneers of the Bush Homes and luxury tented safaris. The landscape is diverse, with each camp fitting into its surrounding area unobtrusively and taking on its region's local character. Kenya is wild and wonderful and your stay at the Bush Homes property assures you will not see herds of tourists. Accommodations range from stunning wildlife ranches to luxury tented camps, private estates, homesteads and traditional tented camps. All of the Bush Homes properties are small, intimate and exclusive by nature, with capacity from four to fourteen guests.
