8-Nights A&K Sanctuary Kenya Safari - Ready-to-Book Private Journeys from $9,045

Itinerary Details

1 Arrive Nairobi, Kenya
Touch down in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, which serves as your gateway to safari adventure. Kenya is classic safari country featuring vast national parks and reserves brimming with the iconic wildlife most associated with an African safari. These include the fabled Big Five — lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and Cape Buffalo — along with countless other species, from zebras and wildebeests to cheetahs and giraffes. It’s also home to the pastoral Maasai people who live in harmony with the land.

2 Amboseli National Park – First Foray Into Safari Country
Fly to Amboseli National Park, home to prolific herds of elephants. Spanning 150 square miles of Kenyan savanna, woodlands, wetlands and ephemeral lakebed — with Mount Kilimanjaro’s distinctive profile as its centerpiece — this iconic park also harbors giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, lions and hundreds of bird species. Settle into your Maasai-inspired luxury lodge, located on a private concession adjoining the park. This afternoon, head out across the dusty plains on your first game drive.

4 Ol Pejeta Conservancy – Scenic Wildlife Haven
Return to Nairobi by air, then fly to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, in the picturesque foothills of Mount Kenya. This sprawling 140-square-mile wildlife haven boasts an impressive game-to-area ratio, topping the charts of Kenyan parks and reserves. Within its vastness, Tambarare Camp provides an unpretentious yet luxurious home base, its 10 tents beckoning with earth-hued canvas, billowing white curtains and teak floorboards — an essay in easy-going, sunlit brightness. Settle in and head out for some afternoon game spotting.

Meals:

5 Ol Pejeta Conservancy – Meet The Living Symbols Of Ol Pejeta
What sets the Ol Pejeta Conservancy apart is its dedication to the conservation of endangered species. Home to the fastest-growing population of black rhinos in Africa, the conservancy is a beacon of hope for these majestic animals. Venture forth on a morning game drive to seek for them as well as the variety of other species living here. Also, stop for an up-close visit with the world’s last northern white rhinos in their heavily guarded enclosure.

6 Maasai Mara Game Reserve – East Africa’s Crown Jewel

Kenya’s Maasai Mara, the next stage of your adventure, is virtually synonymous with safari – surely among the most scenically lovely, biologically diverse and culturally rich regions in Africa. Amid this dizzying swirl of natural beauty and drama, Olonana Lodge is a hideaway of rare elegance and serenity, presiding over a prime position on a private stretch of the Mara River. Fly from Ol Pejeta to Maasai Mara and then transfer overland to your lodge in time for lunch. Then take to the plains for your first game drive here this afternoon.

Roll out on your game drives today and explore another slice of the Mara’s 500 square miles of savannas, woodlands and tree-fringed rivers. You may observe crocodiles basking in the sun, see ever-alert hippos wallowing in muddy water and perhaps catch the antics of a mischievous monkey overhead. Watch, too, as African elephants rumble along the forest edge and giraffes snatch leaves from branches high above. If you wish, swap your morning game drive for an early morning hot air balloon ride (at an additional cost) gliding gently over the Maasai Mara and taking in game from a fresh perspective.
