Walking, Fly Camping and Glamping in Laikipia and Masai Mara Safari

Day notes

You fly from the domestic airport in Nairobi through to Nanyuki in central Kenya on the slopes of Mount Kenya, here you will be met and then transferred by road into the vast expanse of ranches and wildlife areas that make up  Laikipia.  The wildlife area is a whole series of conservancies and ranches that are all focused on wildlife and how to manage this in conjunction with the local communities interests. It has been an amazing success story with a lot of positives for wildlife and communities. You  will be here for 2 nights in the main tented camp - 1 night at the start and 1 at the end and in between we have two nights out walking with an armed ranger and  a small basic tented camp that will be set up at a new locality each day that you will walk to. The Tents are standard walk in dome tents with stretcher beds and a separate bush loo. Basic but functional.

This is a great area to look for the famous Black Leopards that are resident and commonly seen, plus Wild Dogs all the other big cats along with some different species like Gerenuk, Reticulated Giraffe, Beisa Oryx, Grevy's Zebra, Smith's Dik Dik, and Jackson's Hartebeest.

Day notes

You fly from here down to the Masai Mara area. You will start in the Naboisho Conservancy which is all part of the Greater Masai Mara system but with few camps it is a better place to be. You will have two nights here enjoying game drives in this quality wildlife area that has a big reputation for great game viewing and a very comfortable intimate safari camp with only six tents. From here you will be able to do a combination of game drives, bush walks and night drives as well.

Day notes

Today you leave camp and walk through to your fly camp that will be set up in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy on route to our next safari camp. The team will go ahead and set everything up for you and you can decide how long or short you would like the walking part of this to be when you see what the wildlife is doing and what the focus should be for the day. Your guides will discuss this with you.

Day notes

You continue your walk in the morning to reach your last camp and is planned that you would reach there mid morning so you have time to settle in have a nice hot shower and be ready for lunch and your afternoon safari activity. This is a beautiful camp that will be an excellent way to end your safari in Kenya. It has amazing wildlife and with few other camps in the area it will seem all very exclusive as you explore here either on foot or by game drive vehicle.

Day notes

You will fly today from the Masai Mara through to Nairobi's domestic airport Wilson, and then from there you will have a road transfer across to the airport for your International flights out. We can work out what is going to be the best plan in Nairobi when we have your flight times.
