After touching down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by your friendly guide and transferred to Nairobi Tented Camp. This authentic safari camp is situated deep in the heart of the Nairobi National Park, Kenya’s most accessible safari destination located a mere 7 kilometres (4 miles) from the capital city’s centre. A much-needed stopover before heading into the wilderness, Nairobi Tented Camp is nestled in a tranquil setting within a riverine forest.

After an early breakfast, you are transferred to Wilson Airport for a short flight to the Selenkay Conservancy. You will be met at a bush airstrip and transferred, with a game drive on route, to Porini Amboseli Camp. This intimate camp features spacious tents that retain the charm and feel of safari’s yesteryear. Tastefully furnished and equipped with solar powered lighting, your tent has an en suite bathroom with a shower, wash basin and flush toilet.

Go on game drives accompanied by skilled guides in the Selenkay Conservancy as well as the Amboseli National Park. Discover this rich wildlife region’s famous animals like elephant, lion, cheetah and giraffe. Enjoy a full day in Amboseli with a picnic lunch and sensational views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Back in Selenkay you have the opportunity to go on escorted bush walks with Maasai warriors and night game drives – activities not permitted in the national park.

After a short flight back to Wilson Airport, you will connect with another flight into Laikipia and be transferred to Rhino Porini Camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta is home to the Big 5, East Africa’s largest endangered black rhino sanctuary, and a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees. The camp is set on the forested banks of a seasonal river in a secluded valley and comprises seven spacious tents with gorgeous views.

Spend your days on game drives in search of the Big 5, escorted walks with Maasai guides, and sipping on sundowner drinks in stunning locations. A highlight at Rhino Porini Camp is a visit to Baraka the Black Rhino who was rescued after losing his right eye defending his territory from another bull, and later lost sight in his left eye. Baraka is a resident at Morani Information Centre where he is Ol Pejeta’s black rhino ambassador.

After an early morning game drive and breakfast, you are transferred to the airstrip for a chartered flight to Meru National Park. Rhino River Camp is situated in a privately-owned wilderness on the edge of Meru. Settle into your luxurious cottage and gaze out over the gentle flow of the Kindani River below or enjoy some quiet time in your private meditation area.

Whether you relax with a message or simply enjoy the sun beside the swimming pool, life at Rhino River Camp is all about indulging your every whim. Safari activities include bush walks and game drives in Meru to spot the Big 5, hippo, cheetah and the area’s 300 bird species.

One last game drive will see you bid farewell to Meru, followed by a transfer to the airstrip for a chartered flight to the Masai Mara. Your final accommodation, Porini Lion Camp, is an award-winning property in the pristine Olare Motorogi Conservancy, well off the beaten path. This private conservation area borders the Masai Mara National Reserve and offers unsurpassed game viewing in an unspoiled landscape. Your spacious tent is tastefully furnished and features solar powered lighting, a private veranda, and an en suite bathroom with a hot shower and flush toilet.

The game drives in this area are sensational. You are likely to encounter the Masai Mara’s diverse population of resident game like elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, hyena, eland and gazelle. And, of course, the stars of the show: the Mara’s famous big cats – lion, cheetah and leopard. If you visit between about July and November, you could also witness one of nature’s biggest spectacles: the annual Wildebeest Migration.

After an early morning game drive and breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for a flight to Nairobi from where you will head back home or connect to your next African destination. Chat with one of our Africa Safari Experts about other places that combine easily with Kenya.
