Overview

After a welcome night in Nairobi, easing you into your safari adventure, you will be transferred to Loldia House on the shores of Lake Naivasha. This 7-day trip that will take in Lake Nakuru and, of course, the fabled Masai Mara in Kenya.

Naivasha is steeped in history and is a place of timeless romance and wonder. Famed for its flamingos, you will be dazzled by their vibrant fuchsia display. And there is more to beguile you on this vacation: the magnificent Masai Mara beckons. Roam its plains like the explorers of old – but this time for photos and memories.

You will make Governors’ Camp your home-from-home for three nights. Set on the Mara River, it is the perfect location to watch the jaw-dropping spectacle of the Great Migration of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest from July to October. But even when the dust from their hooves has settled, there is still plenty to do: take a dawn hot-air balloon ride, go on a walking safari, ride a horse through the savannah or just let go of the stresses of city life and breathe…

      Itinerary information

      You will be transferred to Loldia House, on the shores of Lake Naivasha. Spend the afternoon relaxing at Loldia House. Naivasha is surrounded by forests of acacia, the distinctive yellow-green fever tree. They are home to prolific bird life and the lake is a world-class birding destination.

      There is other wildlife, too: giraffe, buffalo, monkey, and a large hippo population. Wild animals roam freely on the farm and while you dine on a delicious dinner, you may spot a hippo or two, scuffling and wallowing in the lake, or munching its dinner by the lakeside.

      You will also enjoy a cracking adventure to Lake Nakuru National Park, setting of one of the world’s greatest avian spectacles: up to two million fuchsia flamingos carpeting the alkaline water of the soda lake. The game drive around Nakuru boasts a variety of water birds, as well as other wildlife. The park is one of Kenya's rhino sanctuaries and there are large numbers of these prized beasts. Also watch for leopard, hippos, Rothschild's giraffe, buffalo and eland.

        Itinerary information

        After breakfast you transfer to the Loldia airstrip for a Governors Aviation plane to the Mara. It is a short flight, allowing views over the fertile landscape. Your first taste of the reserve is a game drive to camp for lunch and a refreshing cool drink.

        Your home for the next three nights is the magical Governors’ Camp, once the preserve of Kenya’s colonial governors. Each of the en-suite tents has a spectacular view from its deck – some across the plains and others of the meandering Mara River with its abundant waters.

        Enjoy the company of the resident warthog family, which wanders freely through the camp, and occasionally stand back for the elephants which are known to visit at lunch time. Awaken to something extra-special on day four – an optional hot-air balloon safari. You set out while it is still dark for the natural launch site at Little Governors’ Camp. Follow the light of the burners as the crew gets ready for take-off. And then, as the balloon fills and rises, you are transported aloft in the secure basket below.
