Full Itinerary

Day 1Arrival in Samburu – A Wild Welcome

Your adventure begins with a morning departure from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, boarding a scheduled light aircraft transfer to Samburu National Reserve, a land of rugged beauty and untamed wilderness in northern Kenya. Upon landing, you’ll be warmly welcomed and driven to your luxurious Camp, an elegant retreat nestled along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River.

Arriving in time for lunch, you’ll have a chance to unwind and take in the camp’s stunning surroundings. As the afternoon cools, venture out for your first game drive, traversing the park’s striking landscapes of acacia-dotted plains and rocky outcrops. Keep an eye out for Samburu’s unique wildlife, including the famous “Samburu Special Five.” As the sun sets, return to camp to dine under a canopy of stars, soaking in the serene sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 2 & 3Immersed in the Wild Beauty of Samburu

Awake to the soft calls of birds and the gentle light of dawn as you prepare for a day filled with discovery. Your mornings and afternoons will be dedicated to game drives that delve deeper into the unique biodiversity of Samburu National Reserve.

Samburu is renowned for its rare and endemic species, collectively known as the Samburu Special Five: the long-necked gerenuk, Somali ostrich, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, and reticulated giraffe. You’ll also encounter predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, alongside large herds of elephants. Between drives, relax at the camp, savoring exquisite meals and the unparalleled peace of the wilderness.

Day 4Journey to the Maasai Mara – Land of the Big Five

Bid farewell to Samburu after breakfast as you board your light aircraft for a scenic flight to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival, transfer to yet another luxury safari camp, a haven of comfort set amidst the endless plains of the Mara.

After settling in and enjoying lunch, embark on a magical afternoon game drive. The Maasai Mara, with its sweeping savannahs and abundant wildlife, promises unforgettable encounters. Witness lions lounging in the grass, elephants roaming the plains, and if the timing is right, marvel at the dramatic crossings of the Great Migration. End the day with a sumptuous dinner and a restful night in your luxurious tent.

Your Luxury Migration Camp
Nestled along the seasonal Olare Orok River in the Masai Mara, this camp embodies authentic luxury from the moment you arrive. The camp features river-facing luxury tents, two family units, a photographic lounge, an al-fresco dining area, and a hippo pool for a truly immersive experience.

The elevated luxury safari tents, with floor-to-ceiling glass, seamlessly blend indoor comfort with nature. Each tent is thoughtfully designed with a four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom, complimentary internet, and a private veranda. The family unit offers two en-suite bedrooms separated by a private lounge, providing the perfect space to relax and reconnect.

Whether from your tent, the lounge, or by the campfire, you will enjoy the serene sights and sounds of the wilderness at this exceptional migration camp.

Day 5 & 6Exploring the Maasai Mara – A Safari Paradise

These days are dedicated to fully immersing yourself in the wonders of the Maasai Mara. Morning and afternoon game drives take you across its vast landscapes, rich with wildlife. The Mara is home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—and countless other species, making every drive an exciting adventure.

If you’re visiting between July and October, you’ll have the chance to witness the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River, braving crocodiles and predators in an epic journey. Enhance your safari experience by opting for an exclusive-use 4×4 vehicle with a professional guide, who will share fascinating insights into the region’s flora and fauna.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve, located in southwestern Kenya, is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, renowned for its abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. This world-famous reserve is home to the “Big Five” and plays host to the spectacular Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope traverse the Mara River annually between July and October.

The reserve’s vast grasslands, dotted with acacia trees and riverine forests, offer incredible opportunities for game drives, birdwatching, and photography. Visitors can also immerse themselves in Maasai culture, interacting with the local communities that have coexisted with the wildlife for centuries. With luxury safari lodges and tented camps providing stunning views and world-class amenities, a visit to the Maasai Mara promises an unforgettable African luxury safari adventure.
