Return to Hemingways Nairobi for dinner, where you can indulge in gourmet cuisine paired with fine wines. Enjoy a peaceful night’s rest in preparation for your journey to Samburu the following day.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your flight to Samburu. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted and taken to Saruni Samburu, an exclusive lodge set amidst breathtaking scenery. Check-in and settle into your luxurious accommodation, designed to offer comfort and serenity in the heart of the wilderness. Lunch will be served, followed by some time to relax and enjoy the lodge’s amenities. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive in Samburu National Reserve, renowned for its unique wildlife species and stunning landscapes. Your expert guide will lead you through the reserve, sharing insights into the behavior and habitats of the local wildlife. Return to Saruni Samburu for dinner, where you can recount the day’s adventures under the starlit sky.

Today begins with an early morning game drive to witness the awakening of the savannah as the sun rises over Samburu. Keep your camera ready to capture sightings of elephants, leopards, and the rare Grevy’s zebra among other wildlife species. After the game drive, return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast. The rest of the morning can be spent relaxing at the lodge or participating in optional activities such as guided bush walks or visiting a local Samburu village to learn about their customs and traditions. In the afternoon, enjoy another thrilling game drive in search of Samburu’s elusive predators and resident wildlife. As the day draws to a close, indulge in a sundowner against the backdrop of the dramatic landscape before returning to Saruni Samburu for dinner and a restful evening.

After breakfast, bid farewell to Samburu as you board your flight to the world-renowned Masai Mara. Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be met by the team from Saruni Mara and transferred to the lodge, located in a private conservancy offering exclusive access to the Mara’s wildlife-rich plains. Check-in to your luxurious suite with panoramic views and enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with fresh, local ingredients. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive in the Mara, renowned for its dense concentration of wildlife including the Big Five and the Great Migration during certain months. Your experienced guide will navigate the terrain in search of iconic wildlife encounters and share their expertise on the ecosystem. Return to Saruni Mara for dinner, where you can relish in the flavors of African cuisine and recount the day’s sightings around the campfire.

Rise early for a morning game drive in the Masai Mara, maximizing your chances of witnessing predators on the hunt or perhaps a river crossing during the migration season. After the game drive, return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast overlooking the Mara plains. The day offers various activities such as guided nature walks, birdwatching excursions, or cultural visits to a nearby Maasai village to learn about their traditional way of life. Alternatively, you may choose to relax at the lodge, taking advantage of its amenities and enjoying the tranquility of the African bush. In the afternoon, embark on another game drive, exploring different areas of the conservancy and encountering a diverse array of wildlife. End the day with sundowners and dinner at Saruni Mara, savoring the magic of the Mara under the starlit sky.

On your last full day in the Masai Mara, choose between a final morning game drive or a leisurely breakfast at the lodge. If you opt for a game drive, take advantage of this opportunity to capture any remaining wildlife sightings or simply enjoy the serenity of the Mara at sunrise. Afterward, return to Saruni Mara for brunch before spending the remainder of the morning at your leisure, reflecting on your safari experiences and soaking in the natural beauty surrounding the lodge. In the afternoon, perhaps embark on a guided bush walk to explore the finer details of the Mara’s ecosystem or relax at the lodge and enjoy its amenities. Gather for a farewell dinner, celebrating the memories made during your stay at Saruni Mara and bidding farewell to the wilderness under the African night sky.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, where you can catch your onward journey or extend your stay to explore more of Kenya’s vibrant landscapes and cultural treasures.
