Kenya - The Ultimate Bucket List Experience

Safaris, Beaches & Culture

March 5-18, 2027

Hi Everyone!

My adventure to Kenya in 2026 with this outstanding tour company is one I’ll never forget.  We saw amazing animals from the ground and rode over them in a hot air balloon!  My favorite parts were meeting the native villagers and visiting an elephant orphanage.  Truly an amazing trip! 

The great news is there’s another trip coming up in 2027! Read on below and I hope you can join us!

Welcome to a once-in a lifetime safari tour in Kenya with SKYIN Tours. Sally is partnering with Memorable World Travel and SKYIN to offer seven of her clients the chance to join her and experience this beautiful country in ways others simply can’t. This is a bespoke tour which affords a glimpse beyond the veil of tourism by immersing guests into the vibrant culture and breaking the surface of traditional travel, discovering the side of Kenya which touches the soul.

My trip to Kenya with SKYIN was truly an experience of a lifetime! Skyler and his team are so knowledgeable, they answered our every question and gave us such a good understanding of what we were immersing ourselves into. The diverse 10-day itinerary was outstanding! Each detail meticulously thought out and executed without so much as a hiccup. One moment we were dancing with tribe members and playing with the local children while the next we were on safari and being serenaded by hippo’s as we drifted off to sleep.

Testimonials from Kenya 2026

What an amazing journey! SKYIN took care of all the details - big and small. We were absolutely overwhelmed at the extra effort they took to take care of my dad who is disabled - saying that they went the extra mile is an absolute understatement. Their amazing staff made it possible for him to experience the entire journey right there beside us. There are just no words to thank them or show how much we appreciate what they made happen for our family

- Erin Alwon

My SKYIN trip to Kenya was the trip of a lifetime! I cannot speak highly enough of the SKYIN team's logistical skill as we moved seamlessly from Nairobi to Mombasa, to a nearby island for snorkeling and dolphin-watching in the Kisite Marine Nat'l. Park. Then, on to a national park and two Rift Valley lakes for 2 days for birding and hippo watching. The pace is breathtaking and the Team makes it all happen so effortlessly!

- Emarie Pope

From the moment we signed up, we felt welcomed into the SKYIN family. Our local travel agent, Darlene Ericson of Memorable World Travel in Colorado, guided us through the process, and Skyler and his team hosted several web conferences to answer questions and build excitement for the adventure ahead.  When we arrived at the Nairobi airport, we were greeted by our local host, who stayed with us throughout the trip—guiding us, supporting us, and making sure every detail was taken care of. They took exceptional care of a member of our group with special needs, ensuring he could enjoy nearly all the experiences. We highly recommend SKYIN to anyone traveling to Kenya. They deliver a truly memorable, meaningful experience and a deeper understanding of the people, places, wildlife, and culture of this remarkable country.

- Carol Alwon

Our Africa Safari Immersion Trip with SKYIN was absolutely unforgettable. From the breathtaking views of Amboseli to the incredible wildlife experiences in the Masai Mara, every moment felt like a dream. The hot air balloon ride was truly magical and a highlight of the entire journey. Accommodations were luxurious and comfortable throughout, making the experience even more special. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and worth every penny for such an extraordinary vacation.
