Kenya Safari in Style

Arrive in Nairobi, where you are met and transferred to your hotel.

Begin your luxury safari adventure with a drive from Nairobi to Nanyuki, crossing the equator as you go. Continue to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a private reserve encompassing 90,000 acres of unspoiled African landscape where the Big Five roam, and arrive at your exclusive A&K tented camp and settle in.

Set out on a morning game drive highlighted by an up-close visit with the world’s last northern white rhinos in their heavily guarded enclosure. Afterward, take a late afternoon game drive in this impressively biodiverse region, home to black rhinos, Grevy’s zebras, reticulated giraffes and far more. Refresh yourself on a Scenic Sundowner during your game drive, sipping cocktails while marveling at the incredible atmosphere just before dusk.

This morning, enjoy one of these Design Your Day activities. Take a Guided Bush Walk accompanied by a ranger, getting up close to the sights, smells and sounds of the African bush. Interact with the Dogs of an Anti-Poacher Unit, and test their skills, as you hide and let them sniff you out. Meet the Neighbors Community Interaction and see firsthand the work the conservancy undertakes. Return to the camp and savor a Chef ’s Table experience, featuring a cooking demonstration and tasting of local dishes, before lunch. Then, head out on a late-afternoon game drive. This evening, gather at your safari camp for dinner.

Fly to the Masai Mara Game Reserve and your luxury safari lodge on a private stretch of the Mara River. This afternoon, set out on a game drive that introduces you to the Masai Mara. The action never seems to stop and the chain of command begins with the Mara’s lion population, the largest in the country. The delicate ecosystem of the Mara is the focus of a major conservation effort to preserve one of Africa’s last true game strongholds. During your time in the Mara, enjoy the peace of mind that comes with staying at luxurious Sanctuary Olonana.

Continue exploring the region on morning and afternoon game drives. You may observe crocodiles basking in the sun; hippos wallowing in muddy, cooling water; and mischievous monkeys chattering overhead. Watch, too, as huge elephants rustle along the forest edge and graceful giraffes snatch leaves from branches high above.

Today, watch for game on the vast plains of the Masai, and enjoy the option to visit a local Maasai village. After lunch, receive a visit from a local Maasai tribal member who conducts a workshop on bead making, providing you with a deeper understanding of Maasai culture and what their jewelry means, on this A&K-exclusive experience. Tonight, gather for a farewell dinner.

Fly to Nairobi, where you relax in a reserved dayroom before transferring to the airport for your departing flight.
