MAIN SAFARI:

DAY 1: ARRIVE NAIROBI
Arrive Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where you will be greeted by our guides who will escort you to your hotel for your overnight stay. Service is our specialty. We’ll be there every step of the way to guide you and take care of all your needs so you can relax and enjoy your adventure! If you arrive early in the day or the night before, you’ll have the chance to explore Nairobi, including a visit to Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, The Giraffe Centre, and more!

DAY 2: OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY
Located on the plains of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta is home to the "Big Five" (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard) as well as the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Don’t miss your chance to meet Baraka, the sanctuary’s blind black rhino who is so comfortable with people, he will eat hay from your hand! Ol Pejeta also hosts Kenya's only chimpanzee sanctuary (formed by Jane Goodall), and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species, including Sudan’s daughters, the last two Northern White Rhino on Earth protected by 24-hour armed guards.

DAYS 3 & 4: SAMBURU
Samburu National Reserve is famed for its rugged beauty, rich wildlife and semi-nomadic Samburu tribesmen. In addition to elephants and a plethora of big cats, Samburu offers a "Special 5" unique to the area: the long-necked gerenuk, Grevvy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe, Beisa Oryx and the Somali ostrich. If you’re lucky, it’s also a great area for leopards and wild dogs!

DAYS 5-7: MASAI MARA
Famed for its large population of black-maned Masai lions, African leopards and Tanzanian cheetahs, it’s no wonder Masai Mara is known as “The Jewel of Kenya”. If you come during July - October, you’ll have a chance to witness The Great Migration. Enjoy extras like a Hot Air Balloon Ride over the plains. We strive to fulfill your every desire to make this the trip of your lifetime!

DAY 8: CONTINUE TO MARA’S NABOISHO AND OLARE MOTOROGI CONSERVANCIES, OR RETURN TO NAIROBI
Travel back to Nairobi and home, or stay on to continue your adventure in Olare Motorogi Conservancy!

MARA CONSERVANCY EXTENSION

(HURRY! Space is EXTREMELY LIMITED! Reserve Your Spot TODAY!)

DAYS 8 - 10: MARA CONSERVANCY EXTENSION
Conservancies like Olare Motorogi and Naboisho are areas of extreme beauty bordering the National Reserve where you can encounter an abundance of big cats and other animals in a much more private and intimate setting.

Why do we love the conservancies?
1. They’re GORGEOUS!
2. They’re private, with only a few boutique camps.
3. They often have higher concentrations of wildlife than the National Parks.
4. Driving off-road is often permitted, allowing for more intimate sightings/photography.
5. The number of cars at animal sightings are limited to 4 or 5 to protect the animals, so there are no “mob scenes” as you may see in the parks.
6. Exciting night game drives and walking safaris offer a fantastic compliment to your safari!
7. But the most important reason to visit a conservancy is……
It’s a magnificent and powerful way to support Kenya’s people and animals!

Prior to the creation of conservancies, animals outside the protected areas of the parks suffered serious decline due to human-wildlife conflict. Now, since landowners collect income from the conservancy fees and lodges, they no longer think of wildlife as a nuisance or a threat to their livestock, but something valuable that needs to be conserved and protected. As a result, the animals’ populations in these areas are starting to thrive again. And because conservancies also support schools and hospitals, the communities are thriving too!
