A Personal Note from Ari Rasori, Founder of MedTreks

Kenya has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was just a kid when my parents first started leading medical and adventure trips here. Truly, over the years, this country has become woven into the fabric of who I am. It’s where I’ve grown, learned, and been inspired in ways I never expected. I’ve returned again and again – as a traveler, a nurse, a guide, and now, as the founder of MedTreks.

When I design trips to Kenya, I’m not just pulling from maps or guidebooks – I’m drawing from decades of relationships, memories, and firsthand experience. What makes MedTreks different is the heart behind the itinerary. These aren’t cookie cutter tours – they’re deeply personal journeys built in partnership with local friends and colleagues who have become like family.

If you’re someone who wants more than a typical vacation—someone who’s curious and open—this trip might be for you. If you’re looking to travel with purpose, I’d love to help craft your journey. There’s so much magic here, and I’d be honored to help you experience it.

Hope to travel with you soon! 

Sincerely, 
Ari Rasori

Here’s a look at the kind of experiences we offer when it comes to Custom Kenya Safari with MedTreks:

Nairobi City Tour

Start your journey with a full-day city experience that combines wildlife, culture, and local flavor. Visit the world-famous Elephant Orphanage, meet giraffes up close, and enjoy lunch in a peaceful neighborhood nestled in the scenic suburb that inspired Out of Africa. Wrap up your day browsing handmade goods at a local woman’s cooperative before enjoying a cocktail at a rooftop bar overlooking Nairobi National Park—yes, you might spot giraffes from the pool.

Village Stay in Chogoria with Village HopeCore International

Looking to connect more deeply with Kenya? Spend 3–5 days in the foothills of Mt. Kenya, where you’ll stay in safe, welcoming accommodations and become part of the HopeCore community. This experience offers a rare window into a locally led model of sustainable development. Health, education, and economic empowerment are woven together to support over 700 villages. You’ll witness mobile clinic teams, visit women’s microenterprise groups, and participate in community health education sessions. It’s not a drop-in mission or a surface-level visit—it’s an opportunity to walk away with a deeper understanding of what community-driven change really looks like.

Mt. Kenya Trekking Adventures

Craving mountain air and wide-open views? Our day hikes and 4-day summit treks up Mt. Kenya offer a quieter, more soulful alternative to Kilimanjaro. From waterfalls to volcanic ridges, the Chogoria route is one of the most scenic on the mountain. Additionally, if you make the early morning push to Point Lenana, you’ll watch the sunrise from above the clouds. An experience you won’t forget!

Samburu Safari – 3 Days in Northern Kenya

This lesser-known safari region is a gem—raw, beautiful, and rich with wildlife and culture. Stay at the boutique deluxe tented camp, set along the river where elephants come to drink. Between game drives, you’ll have time to relax by the pool, visit a Samburu village, and take in the magic of this arid, soulful landscape.

Ol Pejeta Safari – 3 Days of Conservation and Wildlife

This experience is not only a wonderful wildlife safari, it is a glimpse into one of the most successful conservation models in Africa. Ol Pejeta is home to the Big Five: the last two northern white rhinos on earth, and a powerful story of resilience. Stay in cozy, luxury canvas tents at Serena Sweetwaters Camp and learn how tourism supports both wildlife protection and local communities.

Masai Mara Safari – 3 Days in Kenya’s Iconic Wilderness

There’s a reason the Mara is famous. Wide savannahs, big cats, wildebeest crossings—it’s classic Africa. We stay a beautifully designed 5-star safari lodge, strategically perched on a hill with sweeping views and easy access to incredible wildlife. It’s an unforgettable three days of safari, culture, and connection.

Amboseli Safari – 3 Nights Beneath Mt. Kilimanjaro

Imagine waking up to elephants wandering the plains with the snowcapped peak of Kilimanjaro rising behind them. That’s Amboseli. You’ll stay at the lovely 5-star lodge, set in the heart of the park, with guided safaris, and nature walks. Also quiet afternoons watching wildlife from your verandah. It’s peaceful, powerful, and grounding.

Diani Beach Retreat – 4 Days on Kenya’s Coast

After your Custom Kenya Safari with MedTreks, we invite you to relax and recharge in one of Kenya’s gems. Diani Beach is where the Indian Ocean meets soft white sand and laid-back Swahili hospitality. You’ll stay at a 5-star beachfront resort, a stunning blend of design and comfort. Snorkel, sail on a traditional dhow, visit a local women’s cooperative and soak in a spa treatment – or just slow down and enjoy the rhythm of the coast. With a variety of water sport activities this is the perfect vacation to end the magic of your Kenyan experience.
