Kenya Ultimate Highlights

Prepare for Head-Spinning Adventures and Variety

You will be welcomed off your flight at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to Ololo Lodge for your overnight stay before launching into your safari. Take this opportunity to relax, recoup and recover from your flight. Ololo is perfectly on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park.

Discover Samburu: Where Nature and Culture Mingle

You leave Nairobi by taking a light aircraft flight to Samburu National Reserve. Enjoy spectacular views of the snow-capped Mount Kenya as you fly north. Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be transferred to Saruni Camp where you can relax, settle in and enjoy the incredible surroundings. 

Samburu National Reserve is a fantastic location to begin your safari. The Ewaso Ngiro River attracts a variety of animals that can be seen congregating at this lifeline to the reserve. You can spot the Samburu Big 5, which includes the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk antelope, and Somali ostrich, as well as more than 400 types of birds.

At Saruni Samburu you can get within feet of the wildlife in the photographic hide, as well as enjoy game drives and guided bush walks. Hiking the sacred mountain of Mount Ololokwe is a great way to understand the Samburu culture while also feasting your eyes on incredible 360° views of the Kalama Community Conservancy. 

Masai Mara: The Ultimate Safari Destination

Leave Samburu behind as you depart for the next exciting stop on your Kenyan safari adventure: the Masai Mara Reserve. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your camp to settle in before your first game drive in this iconic wildlife area.

In the heart of the Masai Mara, hidden in a forest and overlooking the Talek river, you can connect to the wildlife all around you and to the adventurer in you at Emboo Camp. Solar-powered, silent vehicles, allow you to explore the Masai Mara like never before, surrounded by the sounds of the wild, free from exhaust fumes, and guided by an expert Maasai team for unforgettable, up-close wildlife encounters.

Join a guided bush walk and roam the grasslands, spotting birds, insects, antelopes, and more. Learn to track animals by their footprints and dung, explore termite mounds, and discover the secrets of medicinal plants that keep this ecosystem thriving. Lace up your running shoes and hit the 750-meter loop track, where you can challenge yourself to outrun a cheetah—or just keep pace with the Maasai.

Farewell to Kenya: A Journey to Remember

After breakfast, pack your bags for your flight back to Nairobi. You will be met by your Asilia driver when you land at Wilson Airport and then transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This transfer takes approximately an hour, depending on traffic. It’s the end of your safari, and it’s time to check in for your flight home, carrying unforgettable memories of your journey in Kenya in your head and heart.
