Conferences & Incentives
A private tented camp, sundowners, team game drives and a Maasai evening.
The reward trip nobody forgets.
Why do it in Kenya
An incentive works when winners come home with a story, and Kenya delivers one at every turn: lions on a kill, elephants under Kilimanjaro, the Great Migration in season and Maasai guides who make the land come alive. The logistics are simple for a reward trip. A nonstop Kenya Airways flight links New York and Nairobi, and light aircraft reach the Mara airstrips in about an hour from Nairobi's Wilson Airport. Your top performers can be in camp, glass in hand, by sundown on their first full day.
Where and when
The Mara conservancies are the classic choice for big cats and, usually from July to October, the migration herds. Amboseli brings elephants and views of Kilimanjaro, and Laikipia offers private ranches with room for exclusive programs. The dry seasons, typically January to March and June to October, suit outdoor events best. For the migration months, book 12 to 18 months ahead, as exclusive-use camps and balloon slots fill early. The rains around April and May and in November are best avoided for bush dinners.
How a program runs
A three-night program might fly in on the first morning, settle into camp and gather for sundowners on a ridge. The second day brings game drives in small groups, with a window seat for everyone, lunch in the bush and a Maasai evening around the fire. On the third morning the top achievers lift off in a balloon while others track wildlife on foot with Maasai guides or join a photography challenge, before an awards dinner under the stars. On the last morning you fly back to Nairobi.
Logistics we handle
We arrange charter or scheduled flights, soft-bag luggage within light aircraft limits, exclusive use where the group fills a camp, and neighboring camps with shared events where it does not. We plan for dietary needs, medical cover, evacuation insurance and Wi-Fi for executives who must stay reachable. Branding stays discreet, and awards nights are staged without spoiling the bush. Park and conservancy fees are set by Narok County, Kenya Wildlife Service or the conservancy, and we include them in one quote.
Giving back
Conservancy fees already support the Maasai landowners who keep this land open for wildlife. Teams that want to do more can spend a morning with a ranger unit, help with a conservation task the conservancy has chosen, or support a project the community has asked for. We do not include drop-in school visits or handouts to children. A short talk from a conservancy manager on how the model works often becomes a highlight for corporate groups.

Your questions
How do incentive groups get to the Maasai Mara?
Most fly from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to an airstrip near camp on a scheduled or chartered light aircraft, usually about an hour. By road the transfer takes most of a day.
Can a whole safari camp be booked for one group?
Yes. Many small camps offer exclusive use when a group fills every tent, and larger groups can split across two neighboring camps with shared dinners and events.
Is a safari incentive suitable for people with mixed fitness?
Yes. Game drives are seated, camps are mostly on level ground, and walks and balloon flights are optional, so everyone takes part at their own level.
How far ahead should we book an incentive trip to Kenya?
For the July to October migration season, 12 to 18 months ahead is wise, since exclusive-use camps and balloon slots fill early. Other months can often be arranged with less lead time.
