Luxury Safari · Road Safari
A classic private road safari rather than a fly-in — highland conservancy, a Rift Valley lake, and four unhurried days in the Masai Mara.
MOUNT KENYA · LAKE NAIVASHA · MASAI MARA
For travellers who'd rather watch Kenya change through the window than skip over it by air.
This route opens at Ol Pejeta Conservancy on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya, home to the last two northern white rhinos and excellent Big Five viewing against a highland backdrop. From there it drops into the Rift Valley for a boat safari and walking safari at Lake Naivasha, before closing with four full, unrushed days in the Masai Mara — enough time to actually wait out a river crossing rather than just pass through.
A private vehicle and driver-guide run the whole way, so the pace stays entirely yours.
Day by day
Private airport pickup and transfer to your Nairobi hotel, with a safari briefing and time to settle in before an early departure the next morning.
A scenic drive north via Nanyuki to Ol Pejeta, on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya. An afternoon game drive introduces the conservancy's Big Five and its rhino sanctuary.
A full day of game drives, including a visit to the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, plus the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary.
A drive south through the Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha, arriving in time for a boat safari among hippos and fish eagles.
A walking safari on Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, strolling among giraffe, zebra, and gazelle with no resident predators to worry about.
An early departure for the drive to the Masai Mara, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive across the open plains.
Morning and afternoon game drives searching out the resident prides, with an optional dawn hot air balloon flight available on request.
A second full day held loosely — more time with anything that held your attention the day before, or a Maasai village visit if that interests you.
A full day positioned around the Mara River, with the best chance at a river crossing if the herds are in range that week (in season).
A final morning game drive before the drive back to Nairobi and transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
