A cheetah walking through tall golden grass in Tsavo

Kenya's wild places,with the people whodrive you there.

Game drives through Tsavo, Amboseli and the Mara in our own pop-top vans, group trips at a rate that works for the whole bus, and apartments by the gate and by the sea.

  • A white safari van with its pop-up roof raised
  • Friends around a bonfire at night

We drive you from the Sunset on the Kenyan coast coast to the gates of Tsavo, past the Red elephants at a Tsavo waterhole red elephants and the A giraffe on the Mara long necks of the Mara, and home again with a story that is yours.

Funke Adventures is a small Kenyan team with its own vans, its own apartments and a habit of knowing where the animals were yesterday. Every photograph on this page is from a trip we ran.

Six gates we know by their first names.

Tell us which board you want to stand under and we will plan the drive around it.

A day on the road with us, stop by stop.

This is a real route we drive: out of Voi before sunrise, into Tsavo East, up Mudanda Rock, and on to the coast when the parks are done. The orange line fills in as you pass each stop.

  1. Funke Adventures safari van at the Tsavo East National Park Voi gate

    Stop 1: Tsavo East, Voi gate

    The home of thousands of elephants. We enter at Voi, fifteen minutes from our Voi apartments, before the heat comes up.

  2. Red-dusted elephants under an acacia tree in Tsavo

    Stop 2: The red elephants of Tsavo

    They dust themselves with the red oxide soil until they match the ground. You watch it happen from the roof hatch.

  3. A group walking across the top of Mudanda Rock in Tsavo East

    Stop 3: Mudanda Rock

    A stratified rock that catches the rain for the elephants and everything else that drinks here. We climb it at the end of the day.

  4. A smiling guest standing in the open roof hatch of a safari van

    Stop 4: Comfortable transport

    Our own vans with pop-up roofs: a clear view from the top, and a driver who knows where the animals were yesterday.

  5. Three travellers wading in the sea at Nyali Beach, Mombasa

    Stop 5: Nyali Beach, Mombasa

    When the parks are done, the coast. Warm water, a reef walk at low tide, and dinner on the sand.

  6. A group of friends sitting around a bonfire at night

    Stop 6: Bonfire nights

    Celebrate your nights in a serene place with an outdoor controlled bonfire. Stories, music and the sky.

Sleep by the gate, or by the sea.

Our own apartments, let per night in Kenyan shillings. Book one on its own or as part of a trip.
