Days 1-2 NAIROBI

Front of house, Karen Gables, Nairobi, Kenya

The first day of this trip sees you flying into Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. Once you’ve touched down, you’ll have a stopover night at Karen Gables before the safari section begins. Located in a peaceful suburb in the south-west of Nairobi, this is a comfortable and elegant guesthouse with a Cape Dutch style and great gardens. The rooms and suites are beautifully styled, and you can relax by the swimming pool, in the grounds, or at the bar. The guesthouse also has an elegant drawing room and a less formal lounge, and a main dining area where you can tuck into delicious food and drink.

Days 2–5 LAIKIPIA

Elephant, game drive, Kicheche Laikipia, Kenya

After your night at Karen Gables, you’ll fly out to Laikipia, where you’ll stay at Kicheche Laikipia, a bushcamp with a great relaxed atmosphere. You’ll spend three nights in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which is East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary and also home to a myriad of big game wildlife, including elephant, lion, cheetah, and plenty of plains game. Activities at Kicheche Laikipia focus on the wildlife, and you can go on expertly guided game drives, enjoy walking safaris, and even head out for lion tracking. As this is a private conservancy, the camp is able to offer night game drives, which focus on species not seen on regular day drives. Outside the conservancy, you can visit the chimpanzee sanctuary, go canoeing, hiking, mountain biking… there really is something for everyone here.

Days 5–8 MAASAI MARA

Game drive, wildlife, Kicheche Mara Camp, Kenya

Following your time in Laikipia, you’ll fly to the Maasai Mara. Here, you’ll stay at sister camp Kicheche Mara, which is a classic tented camp in the heart of the Mara North Conservancy. At camp, you’ll find a mess tent for lounging and dining, and guests often eat al fresco too, around the welcoming campfire. The guest tents all offer a comfy wood-framed bed, a separate seating area, and an en-suite washroom complete with running water showers! It is small, intimate, and driven to provide amazing wildlife viewing and traditional safari activities. If you visit during July–October, you can look out for the huge herds of the Great Migration, pushing up into Kenya from Tanzania in their search for food! And anyone interested in culture will be keen to visit the local Maa Trust, to meet local women and observe their intricate beadwork.
