Belonging
Journeys led by people whose lives and histories are woven into this landscape.
Born of this place
Rooted in
Samburu.
A local travel studio creating intimate journeys that honour the land, its wildlife and the communities that keep its stories alive.
Our beginning
Travel should leave more than footprints.
Maiyana began with a simple belief: the most moving journeys are not performed for you, but shared with you. Our home is Samburu — a place of immense beauty, living tradition and remarkable resilience.
We pair deep local knowledge with thoughtful comfort, creating space for unhurried encounters. Your guide knows where elephants cross at dawn, whose stories live in the mountain, and when the best plan is to simply stop and listen.
Every journey supports local livelihoods and respects the delicate systems that make Northern Kenya extraordinary.
What guides us
Our compass.
Luxury, to us, is not excess. It is access, time, privacy and the rare privilege of feeling truly connected to a place.
Reverence
A light footprint, responsible encounters and real investment in the places we visit.
Wonder
Room for spontaneity, surprise and those unplanned moments you remember forever.
