Depart from Europe for Kenya, change flight at a major hub if necessary.

We fly exclusively with scheduled flights of a high standard, which include meals, beverages and entertainment on your flight to Africa.

Arrive in Nairobi in the early morning, from here we will drive you to our nearby lounge. Here you will have the chance to change clothes and freshen up and even store extra baggage if you are going on a beach holiday after your safari.

From Nairobi you will, together with the rest of your small group, set off for the lush Aberdare highlands. The journey will take around four hours and takes you through beautiful and fertile farmlands. The drive to the highlands offers many changes of scenery, and many small villages and market stalls, along the way.

If the weather is clear you will also enjoy beautiful views of Mount Kenya.

You will arrive at the Aberdare Country Club in time for lunch at the lodge, which oozes with the charms of Kenya’s colonial past.

You have the rest of the day to relax, enjoy the lodge’s beautiful park-like gardens and its rich animal life, or enjoy a dip in the swimming pool.

Overnight at the Aberdare Country Club with full-board.

After breakfast you will head north from the beautiful Aberdare-highlands and drive to Samburu, where you will notice a change in climate from the cool highlands, to the hot, dry and very beautiful lowland of the north.

En route, close to the town of Nanyuki, you will cross the equator, before driving further, through the town of Isiolo to the Samburu nature reserve. The last part of the journey will give you a real taste of the dry and very hot surrounding landscape we are heading to.

The coming days offer safari-drives in Samburu, including drives along the brown life-giving waters of the river that flows through the district that attracts many animals. In Samburu you have a good chance of seeing leopard, as well as large herds of elephants, cheetah, lions and giraffe.

Accommodation is provided at Ashnil Samburu Camp, which is located right next to the river. You will sleep in attractive, large safari tents with en suite facilities. All tents have their own terrace and a view over the river.

In the afternoon you go on your first safari-drive in Samburu, where without doubt, an exciting safari adventure awaits you.

Morning and afternoon safari on the open savanna and the areas of forest that follow the Ewaso Ngiro River, which if the life blood of the whole district. We are sure to find some of the unique animals that this region is famous for, as well as many of the classical and more widespread animals.

You will have the full day to enjoy this beautiful district with its unique fauna.

From the hot, scenic lowlands the tour now takes us to the highlands of Mount Kenya, where we will drive through dense, lush forests to where the tree-top hotel, Serena Mountain Lodge, awaits us.

We will arrive in the lodge in time for lunch, which lies on the slopes of Mount Kenya itself.

After we arrive in the hotel we have plenty of time during the rest of the day to watch the wildlife from the many different parts of the hotel - and not least - to soak in the many impressions, sounds and smells of the forest.

On payment of a small supplement it is possible to arrange a walking safari in the forest in the company of a local guide.

After breakfast we leave the lush highlands and set course to the most famous of all the Rift Valley lakes, Lake Nakuru.

There we start with lunch at Lake Nakuru Lodge, after which we take a safari drive in this small, but extremely charming park. Lake Nakuru is famous for having both white and black rhinos, its large numbers of flamingos and the rare Rothschild-giraffe.

After our exciting safari-drive we will drive to the neighbouring Lake Naivasha,  which is just less than an hour away. On the way to Naivasha we will drive past some large flower farms where many of the roses we buy in Europe are grown.

We stay for the night at Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, which is situated in a beautiful park like garden on the shores of Lake Naivasha itself. The lodge is often visited by giraffes, zebras and a number of different antelopes that come here to graze. At night hippos also come and visit, which is why you will always be accompanied to your room by a Masai guard in the evening.

Our route now takes us towards Masai country. After a few hours driving the fertile soils of central Kenya give way to a more savannah-like landscape. Especially once we have passed the busy Masai “capital” of Narok, the countryside quickly becomes more influenced by grass savannah, with acacia trees dotting the landscape, and more frequent sightings of the Masai people and wild animals.

We will arrive in the lodge for a late lunch, and there will be time for a safari-drive in the afternoon.

Overnight in the beautifully situated Ashnil Mara Camp with full board.

You will go on safari twice today, and you will have the chance of seeing all the animals that you associate with Africa. “The Big Five”: Elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo are all here, as are cheetah, hyena, wild dogs and large numbers of gazelles, antelope, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest.

In the season from July to October the Mara is host to the great migration of 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra. An absolutely extraordinary spectacle.

Overnight in the Ashnil Mara Camp with full board.

After breakfast you will set off back to Nairobi. The drive will take around 5 hours.

From here you will catch your flight home in the evening. It is possible to add a beach holiday onto this tour.

You will arrive back in Europe in the morning.
