The wilds of northern Kenya
9 Nights/10 Days
Day 01: Arrival in Nairobi
Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your lodge in Nairobi. This bustling city is home to unique attractions, including the David Sheldrick Trust for orphaned elephants, the Karen Blixen museum, and the chance to get up close with giraffes at Giraffe Manor.
Day 02: Journey to Matthew's Range
You will be collected from your lodge and driven to Wilson Airport for a flight to Matthew's Range. You will spend the next three nights in this remote and rugged region, known as a "sky island" for its combination of plunging gorges and lush forests. Your days here will be filled with hiking and biking, often led by Samburu warriors, as well as the chance to try camel and horseback excursions.
Day 03: Exploring Matthew's Range
Enjoy a day of adventure with activities that can include game drives to spot oryx, Grevy's zebra, and African painted dogs. You can also visit the Reteti Elephant Orphanage to see the elephant rehabilitation project in action.
Day 04: More Matthew's Range Adventures
Today offers another opportunity to explore this stunning landscape, with options for fly camping under the stars or visiting the sacred 'singing wells.' The incredible views alone are worth the visit, with abundant wildlife to be spotted.
Day 05: Transfer to Samburu
You will be driven from your lodge in Matthew's Range to your next lodge in Samburu. You will spend the next two nights here, exploring a very different part of Kenya, known for its unique desert wildlife.
Day 06: Discovering Samburu
Samburu is not the Kenya you see on postcards, but it is equally enchanting. Game drives here will allow you to spot the Samburu Special Five, which includes unique species such as the Grevy's zebra, the Somali ostrich, and the gerenuk. You can also experience a camel safari or a walking safari to immerse yourself in the landscape.
Day 07: Flight to the Masai Mara
You will be transferred from your lodge to Samburu Airstrip for a flight to the world-famous Masai Mara. This iconic destination is the king of the Kenyan safari and home to some of the most spectacular wildlife in Africa.
Day 08: The Great Migration
Spend the day on game drives, where you can see the famous river crossings of the Great Migration from July to September. This area is renowned for its big cats, as well as vast herds of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, and zebra.
Day 09: Optional Activities in the Masai Mara
Beyond the classic game drives, the Masai Mara offers incredible experiences. You can take an early-morning hot air balloon safari for a stunning sunrise view of the plains or go on a night drive to spot nocturnal wildlife.

On your final day, you will be driven to the Masai Mara Airstrip for your flight to Nairobi, where you will then be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your departure.
