Laikipia – Community Reserves

3 Nights

Laikipia in central Kenya offer exclusive nature and wildlife experiences far away from the beaten path and in diverse scenery – from the edge of the Great Rift Valley, to the peaks of snow-capped Mount Kenya, with vast plains and verdant grasslands, interspersed with rocky hills, rivers, and waterholes.

Included Activities

Morning & Evening game drive, one cultural manyatta visit and bushwalk

Discover the Community Reserves in beautiful Laikipia! Accompanied by your Maasai guide and naturalist, climb up to the Mukogodo Escarpment for fantastic panoramas of the Kenyan plains. Stalk smaller game and birdlife during shorter nature walks to watering holes around. You can also enjoy bush picnics by the Ngare Ndare River at dusk or dawn. If you’re feeling adventurous, camp out under the stars within the Mukogodo forest. 

Masai Mara

3 Nights

Classic Africa! The Masai Mara will fulfill your dreams with its iconic, endless African landscapes of golden grass dotted with picturesque acacia trees that is home to year-round wildlife viewing: cheetah, leopard, large prides of lions, elephants, giraffe, hyena, huge Nile crocodiles, frolicking hippos and many other species.

Included Activities

Enjoy wonderfully diverse game drives in the Masai Mara and the bordering exclusive Naboisho Conservancy. The best time for this is in the early morning when the animals are particularly active and in the late afternoon when the sun paints incredible colors on the horizon. You also have the opportunity for exciting night drives to observe rarely spotted nocturnal wildlife.
