10-Day Luxury Kenya Safari

Upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll need to make your own way to the arrivals area, where a member of our staff will be waiting to greet you and direct you to your waiting transport vehicle. You will be met at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, assisted with baggage, and transported to the Nairobi Serena Hotel where you will be staying. Then your tour’s driver-guide will provide a quick rundown of what to expect after you’ve checked in.

Nairobi has much to do in a day. Your guide will take you up each morning. Visit the Daphne Sheldrick, a nursery and rehab facility for orphaned elephants, rhinos, zebras, and other animals, to begin exploring this lovely nation. Daphne was the first to nurture an orphaned elephant using a technique that is now commonly used.

David Sheldrick’s wife, Daphne, has devoted her life to conservation. These newborns are released into Tsavo East National Park and cared for by other reintroduced orphans. The Giraffe Center is supposed to raise endangered Rothschild giraffes. Jock Leslie-Melville, the Kenyan grandson of a Scottish Earl, and his wife Betty kidnapped a newborn giraffe to start a breeding program at Langata, where the facility is now.

Since then, the initiative has successfully introduced multiple Rothschild giraffe-breeding couples to Kenya’s national parks. Some stores are entertaining. We love Langata’s Utamaduni. Each room of this colonial mansion has been crafted by different tribes and craftspeople. They range from basic to complex. Kazuri Bead Factory.

The Karen Kazuri workshop’s ladies hand-shape each ceramic bead, which means “little and lovely” in Swahili. Before stringing, the beads are kiln fired, glazed, and then fired again. After lunch at Utamaduni, continue the day at the Karen Blixen Museum. You may learn about Kenya’s history by visiting Karen Blixen’s property. It gives a glimpse of colonial Nairobi life. Return to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will be taken to Wilson Airport in the wee hours of the morning. Take off for Amboseli, where you may take a flight known for its breathtaking vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. From the lowly 4000 ft. of the Amboseli plains, Mount Kilimanjaro’s imposing 19 340 ft (1200 meters).

Additionally, Cynthia Moss, a noted researcher, has studied and recorded the elephant herds in Amboseli. As soon as you land at the picturesque airstrip, your guide will meet you and take you on a drive to see the wildlife. The ecology of Amboseli is rich with diverse animal species. Most of the park’s wildlife congregates in and around the spring-fed wetlands when it’s dry.

Tawi Lodge, a cosy boutique hotel in a secluded section of Kilitome’s reserve, is where you’ll spend the night. If you’re looking for something to do while you’re not out on a game drive, Tawi Lodge has a swimming pool and massage area where you can have a range of massages and beauty treatments, and you can soak in a hot tub at sunset while watching animals drink at the neighbouring waterhole. You may go on open-air 4×4 game drives, night game drives, or bird-watching excursions while staying at the resort.

This morning’s flight takes you (via Nairobi) to Laikipia, on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Your guide will be waiting for you with refreshing refreshments before driving you to your lodge for three nights. The Laikipia Plateau’s Loisaba is a private oasis The vista, a breathtaking golden landscape with Mount Kenya in the distance, will keep you captivated for many hours.

You will be able to walk freely through this protected wilderness and view animals that are difficult to find elsewhere, including leopards, elephants, hippos, cheetahs, Beisa oryx, and the elusive wild dog. Hippos, cheetahs, and Beisa oryx are among the other creatures you could see.

There’s never a dull moment, whether you go game viewing on an ATV, horseback, camel, or truck, raft the Ng’are Narok River, mountain bike down the escarpment, play tennis, or relax by the pool. Children go on safari with their safari directors, while older teens yearn for all-terrain vehicles like this (ATVs).

Spending the night in one of Loisaba’s one-of-a-kind Star Beds will be an unforgettable experience. We sleep on massive four-poster beds, encased in gauzy mosquito netting and situated atop high platforms, with nothing but the big and glorious African skies above us as a roof. It’s the pinnacle of joy.

You will now fly to the spectacular Maasai Mara. The lone Acacia tree against the cobalt sky; undulating grasslands teeming with life; the languid bends of the Mara River teeming with hippos and crocs; and the unusual red “shuka” of a Maasai herdsman who goes on with their customary pace, largely oblivious to all the activity around them.

Experience Kenya’s breathtaking environment and animals at Ol Seki Hemingways Mara, a luxury tented camp nestled in the Naboisho Conservancy and near the world-renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve’s magnificent location. Each of the ten safari tents offers a stunning 270-degree view of the Mara grasslands. These tents provide elegance and comfort in the African wilderness.

You will have the opportunity to see some of nature’s unique beauties, including as the annual wildebeest migration (July-October) and the Big Five. The reserve itself is 200 square kilometres of undulating savannah with elephants, buffaloes, and plains animals grazing and lion pride roaming. In the Naboisho Conservancy and the Mara National Reserve, private wildlife drives are available.

Night game drives, moonlight bush dinners, bush breakfasts, game walks, sundowners, and a visit to the adjacent Maasai community are among the other activities. Balloon rides are a fantastic way to appreciate the game and Mara’s vastness. It’s also a thrilling way to see the wildebeest migration in action.

Wake up before daylight for your last game drive; who knows, you could encounter some new animals. Return to the camp, gather your belongings, and make your way to the airfield for your flight to Wilson Airport. A day room at the Eka Hotel has been arranged for you, where you will have some time to freshen up before being driven to the airport for your departing flight.
