6 Days, Experience Kenya Safari

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive north from Nairobi toward the foothills of Mount Kenya. Arrive at your luxury lodge for lunch, then embark on your first game drive as afternoon light softens across the golden grasslands. Watch predators stir, and herbivores gather at waterholes as the conservancy comes alive.

Dawn breaks with the calls of fish eagles and distant lion roars. Today you’ll explore one of Kenya’s most remarkable conservation success stories, home to East Africa’s largest black rhino population. Visit the chimpanzee sanctuary and perhaps track wildlife on foot with experienced rangers—there’s nothing quite like standing at ground level as a herd of elephants approaches.

Between game drives, relax at your lodge’s infinity pool overlooking the savannah, or watch zebras graze from your private veranda with Mount Kenya’s snow-capped peaks in the distance.

After breakfast, journey south to the Great Rift Valley. The road plunges dramatically into the valley, revealing panoramas that stretch to the horizon. Lake Elementaita appears like a mirage, its shores tinged pink with thousands of flamingos.

Your boutique accommodation offers understated luxury—private cottages with fireplaces and gourmet dining featuring local ingredients. Explore the lake’s shores where flamingos feed in vast flocks and pelicans take flight. As evening falls, enjoy dinner under the stars with the sounds of the African night all around.

The journey to Masai Mara winds through traditional Masai lands where red-robed herders tend their cattle. As you approach the Mara, the landscape opens into sweeping grasslands that roll on forever.

Your luxury tented camp awaits—spacious canvas suites with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas overlooking the savannah. Arrive in time for an afternoon game drive where the concentration of wildlife will take your breath away. This is Africa as you’ve imagined it, vast and teeming with life.

Wake before dawn for the quintessential safari experience. As the sun rises, the Mara reveals why it’s legendary—lions on the hunt, leopards in acacia trees, cheetahs surveying the plains from termite mounds. Elephants move in family groups, their intelligence and social bonds evident in every interaction.

Between July and October, you might witness the Great Migration—millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River in a spectacular display of nature’s raw power. But even outside migration season, the Mara never disappoints. Every game drive brings encounters that will stay with you forever.

Return to camp for a leisurely lunch, then head out again as afternoon softens into evening. Consider a sundowner stop—your guide will find the perfect spot to watch the sun sink below the horizon while you sip champagne and reflect on the day’s adventures.

Your final morning offers one last game drive, a chance to say goodbye to the Mara’s wild residents. After breakfast, begin the journey back to Nairobi, carrying memories that will last a lifetime—the roar of lions in the night, the sight of rhinos at dawn, the endless African sky.
