Your adventure begins at the renowned Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, then spend three nights in Northern Kenya at the Samburu region.

Here, you will spend three nights delighting in exceptional safari activities.
Itinerary
Day 1 : Nairobi
Transfer on arrival and spend the night at Giraffe Manor where these resident gentle giants may poke their heads into your bedroom window or wish to be served at the breakfast table!
Days 2 – 4 : Nairobi > Samburu
Fly to Samburu and spend the next three nights in the West Gate Conservancy which borders the Samburu National Reserve.
Sasaab Camp is situated above the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in the arid heart of Samburu land. It’s a tranquil retreat that boasts sweeping views across the Laikipia Plateau towards Mount Kenya. The Moroccan style of the unique cottages lends itself to days spent enjoying the views and the breeze. Set on a pristine conservancy, With its own resident game and the striking landscapes of the Samburu National Park nearby, game drives at Sasaab boast fantastic variety in both scenery and game viewing. Look out for the Samburu Five – gerenuk, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and Grevy’s zebra.
Day 5 – 7 : Samburu > Masai Mara National Reserve
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the lodge before heading to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to take you to the iconic Masai Mara. Spend the next three nights at Sala’s Camp.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most renowned game park, situated on the northern border of the Serengeti. Its legendary seasonal Great Migration of over two million wildebeest and other antelope has been described as one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles and an experience every safari enthusiast should witness at least once in their lifetime. Game viewing in this celebrated park is wonderful throughout the year, with virtually guaranteed sightings of the Big Five.
During winter, the Mara becomes very busy and wildlife sightings become very active, with vehicles gathering for a lion kill or potential river crossings. During the quieter summer months and the green season, the reserve is much quieter and visitors feel as if they have the Masai Mara to themselves. Although the big herds of the Great Migration have moved off by this time, the abundant resident game can still be seen, and wildlife sightings still rival anywhere in the world.
Day 8 : Masai Mara > Nairobi
Today you board your light aircraft flight for Nairobi, where your safari ends with a transfer to the International Airport for your onward departure.
