Your premium Kenyan safari begins at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where you connect seamlessly to a domestic flight heading north to Nanyuki Airstrip. Upon arrival, you are transferred to the historic Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, a grand resort nestled directly on the lush lower slopes of Mount Kenya.
You arrive just in time for a gourmet lunch on a full-board basis. Originally founded by Hollywood star William Holden, this prestigious property straddles the equator and blends old-world elegance with majestic mountain views. You spend your first two days unwinding in this tranquil highland retreat. Whether you choose to tee off on the manicured golf course, enjoy a horseback ride through the forest, visit the on-site animal orphanage, or simply relax by the heated pool, the days flow at your own pace. Each evening concludes with a sophisticated, formal set-menu dinner in the club’s refined dining room.
On the third morning, a scenic drive down the highlands brings you to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where you check into the famous Sweetwaters Serena Camp. You will be staying in the premium Morani Wing, which features deluxe tents tailored for ultimate comfort right in the heart of the wilderness.
After lunch, you embark on your first game drive across this vital wildlife sanctuary. Ol Pejeta holds a unique place in conservation, hosting a higher predator density than many standard parks and serving as the home of the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, established alongside the Jane Goodall Institute to rescue orphaned primates. Over days three and four, your morning and afternoon game drives offer incredible opportunities to track Africa’s famous Big Five—including rare black and white rhinos—while you can opt for a thrilling night game drive to observe elusive nocturnal hunters under the stars.
Your safari reaches a spectacular crescendo on day five. Following a hearty breakfast, you transfer back to Nanyuki Airstrip for your flight across the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the world-renowned Masai Mara. Landing at Olare Orok Airstrip, you transfer to Olare Mara Kempinski Luxury Tented Camp, an exquisite oasis tucked along the forested banks of the Ntiakitak River within the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy.
Over the next three days, you will enjoy a Full Board Plus experience, meaning all your premium meals, drinks, and immersive conservancy activities are fully covered. The private conservancy offers an exclusive safari experience with strict limits on vehicle numbers, guaranteeing pristine, uncrowded wildlife viewing. You can start one of your mornings with a breathtaking, optional hot air balloon safari over the plains followed by a champagne bush breakfast, or stick to classic early morning and afternoon game drives. Whether you spend your time tracking massive lion prides and cheetahs in the conservancy or choose a full-day adventure across the main reserve with a picnic lunch, you will be surrounded by the Mara’s legendary wildlife density before returning to the camp’s timeless canvas luxury each evening.
Your grand wilderness expedition concludes on day eight. After a final morning breakfast overlooking the river, you transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Nairobi. Upon landing at Wilson Airport, you are met and transferred to the Royal Orchid Hotel for a delicious farewell lunch. After spending some time gathered at local boutiques for last-minute souvenir shopping, a private transfer delivers you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, perfectly timed for your onward international flight home.
