Kenya Conservation & Safari Journey

Nairobi • Umani Springs • Samburu • Masai Mara

27 August – 8 September 2027 | 13 Days / 12 Nights

Journey Overview

A beautifully balanced journey through some of Kenya’s most rewarding wildlife areas, combining intimate conservation encounters, classic safari landscapes and exceptional game viewing.

Begin with two relaxed nights in Nairobi before travelling south to the forested sanctuary of Umani Springs, where time is spent alongside the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s orphaned elephants as they progress through the reintegration process.

From Umani, a private charter flight brings you directly back to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, where you connect onto a scheduled flight north to Samburu National Reserve for four nights of classic safari at Elephant Bedroom Camp.

Your journey then concludes with four nights in the legendary Masai Mara, timed during one of the most exciting periods of the year, when vast numbers of wildebeest and zebra may be moving through the ecosystem.

The itinerary is deliberately unhurried, allowing time not simply to see wildlife, but to watch, understand and appreciate the behaviour unfolding around you.
