Safaris, Beaches & Culture
March 5-19, 2026
Mount Kilimanjaro
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.

SKYIN founder Skyler Mason wanted travelers to share the same warmth and intimate experience of “living like a local.” His resolve to impact and achieve a sustainable presence in the region inspired his dream to create ongoing jobs and develop long-term opportunities for local communities across Kenya.

Located within renowned national parks and reserves, an extensive range of luxurious camps and lodges offer the perfect relaxation to end an exhilarating day in the wild. Our guests are soothed to sleep listening to the gentle animal murmurings while thousands of stars brilliantly shine over the vast African plains.
