7 Day Kenyan Adventure Safari

Itinerary 7 Days 6 Nights

Day 1 Nairobi

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, we take a scheduled transfer to Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel, an old-world retreat in the heart of Kenya's capital city. A deluxe room with an en-suite bathroom and breakfast the following morning are included in the price.

Norfolk has two restaurants. The Lord Delamere Restaurant is known for its flame-grilled fare, and the colonial-style Lord Delamere Terrace & Bar - the unofficial starting and finishing point for East African safaris since 1904 - serves international and Kenyan cuisine.

Day 2 – 3 Laikipia Plains

After breakfast, we are taken to Wilson Airport to catch a flight to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It is here, on the immense Laikipia Plains, where our Kenyan safari begins. Day and night game drives, walking safaris, bush picnics and sundowners are some of the adventures we can expect to experience.

Africa's largest concentration of Grevy's Zebra and 400 bird species are found in the conservancy. Against a canvas of striking scenery, we can expect to encounter black and white rhinos, elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes and wild dogs, all under the watchful, snow-capped eye of Mount Kenya to the south.

Our Lewa Safari Camp accommodation is a spacious tent with an en-suite bathroom and private verandah. All meals (made with locally sourced ingredients) and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price, and at night, when the temperatures cool, we can retire to the fireplace in the spacious sitting room.

Day 4 - 6 Masai Mara

On the morning of our fourth day in Kenya, we fly to Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp in the Masai Mara, a vast area home to 40% of Africa's large mammals. Lying in the Great Rift Valley, the plains game in Masai Mara are at liberty to roam the sandy soil of the Ngama Hills to the east, the lush grassland hugging the Mara River and the rolling savannahs of the Central Plains in large numbers.

It is here that the Great Migration takes place each year between July and September when millions of animals leave Tanzania and cross the Mara River in search of food and water.

We can expect to discover the rich wildlife and iconic scenery of the Masai Mara on guided game drives which take place twice a day, while dinners, made with produce from the vegetable garden out back, are served al fresco on the lawn beneath the stars at night.
