Fly-in Kenya's Lake Naivasha & Mara

Experience the epitome of luxury and tranquility with a one-night stay at Four Points by Sheraton in Kenya. Nestled in the heart of this vibrant African nation, this exquisite hotel offers an enchanting escape from the bustling city life.

As you step into the elegant lobby, you are greeted by a warm and friendly staff, dedicated to providing you with exceptional service throughout your stay. The tastefully decorated guest rooms feature modern amenities, plush bedding, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, ensuring a peaceful night's rest.

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.

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.
