What you can expect from this 9
day Luxury in the Bush Kenya
Safari
Kenya pioneered photography
safaris nearly a half century
ago, and this northern circuit
remains as exciting and
productive as it was that long
ago. Many numbers of wild game
have actually increased, and
this is particularly true of
elephant. Enjoy some of East
Africa's most spectacular
scenery in the northern
frontier, before ending at
Kenya's best game park, the
Maasai Mara on this Kenya
vacation package.
Day 1: Nairobi, Kenya
The Kenya vacation package
begins in Nairobi, East Africa's
most dynamic and colorful city.
If you arrive early enough, a
number of sightseeing excursions
are available, including to the
famous National Museum, and to
the attractions in the nearby
suburb of Karen, including Karen
Blixen's homestead and Giraffe
Manor. Overnight at The Norfolk
Hotel, the city's finest.
Day 2: Nairobi - Laikipia (Samburu),
Kenya
Morning flight into Kenya's
northern frontier followed by a
Landrover transfer into an
immense private conservation
ranch. The 'Laikipia' region of
northern Kenya has become a
model for wildlife conservation
and sustainable development the
world over.
Individual reserves, some as
large as 100,000 acres, have
been protected from rampant
agriculture and cattle farming,
to protect the natural wildlife
and outstandingly spectacular
bushlands. You'll arrive the
luxurious camp in time for
lunch, and immediately in the
afternoon you begin your many
varied activities.
Days 3 & 4: Laikipia
The area is famous for its
Elephant, but this is a fragile
and marvellous ecosystem with
some of the rarest wildlife on
earth. Nowhere else will you
find the world's most handsome
Giraffe, the reticulated, or the
rare Grevy's Zebra. The area
abounds with the strange,
long-necked Impala known as the
Gerenuk, as well as the
blue-legged Somali ostrich.
These creatures will be found
nowhere else, but you'll also
see many of the regulars,
including Buffalo, common Zebra,
Gazelle, and the great predators
on your Kenya vacation package.
You'll be shown around by the
reserve's owners, all of who
take a personal interest in this
marvellous area. There will be
opportunities for game viewing
and unusual activities, like
walking, and possibilities for
river safaris and spelunking.
Consider this like visiting an
American dude ranch, with the
distinct difference that you'll
be hearing the roaring of Lions
at night!
Day 5: Laikipia / Mount Kenya
The time it takes to negotiate
the back roads of these very
remote wildernesses are hard to
gauge, so today's schedule will
be leisurely. Most of the
morning will be spent on the
ranch, and in the afternoon
you'll make your way back up the
escarpment to Mount Kenya. The
evening is spent in the historic
splendour of the Mount Kenya
Safari Club, the resort created
by William Holden and today the
site of the famous William
Holden Wildlife Foundation. If
you arrive early enough, you'll
be able to visit the famous
Animal Orphanage before the
gourmet dinner.
Day 6:
Mount Kenya / Maasai
Mara
Morning flight into
Kenya's finest big game
reserve, the Maasai
Mara. You'll arrive in
time for lunch in camp,
followed by afternoon
game viewing. For three
nights on your Kenya
vacation you'll enjoy
the splendor of a very
exclusive camp built on
the banks of the Mara
River, Il Moran. |
Days 7 &
8: Maasai Mara
Three game drives
are included daily from
camp in open Landrovers
driven by the country's
most experienced guides.
The Mara is everyone's
dream of Africa comes
true: gently rolling
grassland plains
bisected by a number of
great rivers. The area
is filled with lion and
cheetah, and leopards are often found.
The plains are filled
with wildebeest,
hartebeest, topi, eland
and much more, and the
birdlife is incredible.
You can visit a Maasai village and book a hot air
balloon ride. Each
evening you return to
the unbelievable
splendor of your luxury
camp. |
Day 9:
Maasai Mara / Depart
After a full morning
of game viewing, fly
back to Nairobi, where
you'll be returned to
your private room at the
Norfolk Hotel. Your
driver returns in the
evening to transfer you
to the airport for your
departure home. Your
Kenya tour package ends
here.
