Every trip is shaped around you. Below is a sample route to start from; we change any part of it to suit you.

Days 1-2

The safari capital of Africa

Your journey starts in Kenya’s capital city Nairobi. Known as ‘the safari capital of Africa’, this humming metropolis is the only city in the world to have a national park within its borders, which you can explore during your stay. Our expert team will give recommendations for bars, restaurants and things to see based on your personal interests.

Scenic safaris in Amboseli

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is most known for the enormous herds of elephants that roam across its scenic plains. You’ll stay within the Kimana Sanctuary, a community-owned conservancy that belongs to local Maasai families. Keep an eye out for Super Tuskers – elephants whose tusks are so large they drag along the ground as they walk.

Morning and evening game drives

Move through the sanctuary with guides who read the land instinctively, following wildlife movement and teaching you about its fascinating ecosystems. They’ll use their expertise to help you spot elephants, lions, cheetahs and over 400 birds species across the park’s saltpans and woodlands. You’ll explore at an unhurried pace, with time to watch behaviour, track changing conditions and stay with sightings as long as they hold interest.

Days 6-8

On safari in the Maasai Mara

One of Africa’s most renowned safari destinations, the Maasai Mara is home to astounding concentrations of wildlife, including zebras, wildebeest and cheetahs. In addition to spectacular game viewing, your expert guides will lead you in a tailored programme of activities designed to enhance your stay.

Visit a Maasai community

Maasai culture has a strong presence throughout Kenya, and you’ll be invited to a Maasai village to learn about their traditions and daily life. Cattle herding is central to their nomadic lifestyle. Discover its significance in cultural identity, wealth and status, as well as its role in basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.

Days 9-10

Three nights in the Laikipia Plateau

Lesser known than some of Kenya’s more eminent destinations, the Laikipia Plateau is no less impressive. Located between Mount Kenya and the Great Rift Valley, its jaw dropping densities of wildlife are second only to the Maasai Mara . You’ll have the opportunity to spot several endangered species, including black rhinos, Grevy’s zebras and African wild dogs on its plains.
