Begin your journey in the Laikipia region, a broad swathe of game-rich grasslands and hills. Safari by traditional vehicle, on horseback or on foot. Travel across the area in a nostalgic flight in a biplane, and use your private helicopter to explore the remote regions of Kenya's Northern Frontier. Land in visually stunning landscapes and visit villages to discover tribal cultures firsthand. For your last three days, explore the Masai Mara, where wildlife abounds on the swaying grasslands.
Early this morning, board your flight to Lewa Downs.
The Laikipia region is a broad swathe of game-rich grasslands and
hills. With the exception of the Masai Mara, Laikipia boasts the
greatest wildlife experiences in Kenya. The game viewing in this
region is exceptional and you enjoy safari by traditional vehicle
and on foot. You may also explore the bush on horseback. One
of the magic qualities of Borana is that the ranch is an accredited
member of the Eco-tourism Society of Kenya, is certified as organic
and plays an extremely active role in regional conservation. Early
one morning, embark on the nostalgic flight of a lifetime across this
magical area in a biplane.
Days 3-5
Using your own private helicopter, explore some
of the most wild and stunning scenery and culture in Africa,
including places rarely visited or seen. Your helicopter is the latest
from Eurocopter with the most modern safety features and is the
only one of its kind in Kenya. One morning, you are taken on an
incredible and memorable day up into the Northern Frontier, one
of the most savagely beautiful regions on the planet. Land in the
desert at Kalacha, a small oasis and trading settlement. Enjoy a
privileged cultural interaction with the rarely visited Gabbra tribes.
Spend the night in a small tented camp, run brilliantly and owned
by the local community.
Days 6-8
As the dawn rises, fly south through the desert to
reach Nanyuki at the foot of Mount Kenya for your flight to the
Masai Mara. Embark on morning and afternoon game drives. The
wildlife is abundant and the swaying grasslands ensure that animals
are never out of sight.
Days 9-11
After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for the flight back
to Nairobi. Transfer to your hotel where dayrooms are reserved for
your convenience. Continue on your journey.
