Nairobi | Preserving Local Heritage & Wildlife
This morning, relive a chapter of local history at Mbogani House, the former home of Karen Blixen made famous by the film, Out of Africa. Continue on to the nearby Giraffe Center, a wildlife refuge situated on the sprawling grounds of coffee mogul David Duncan’s Giraffe Manor.
Nanyuki | Into the Wild
Drive to your secluded bush camp in Sweetwaters Game Reserve, a private concession of Ol Pejeta Conservancy. In the evening, sit on your verandah and observe the wildlife moving in and out of the shadows as they come to drink at the waterhole.
Nanyuki | Sweetwaters Safari Adventure
Set out on morning and evening game drives in Sweetwaters Game Reserve, tracking the “Big Five” (lions, elephants, Cape buffalo, leopards and rhinos) through savannah grasslands and riverine forests. Between game drives, relax in camp, perhaps taking a family swim in the pool. You can also explore the reserve by camel back.
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy | Bushveld Ranch
Drive to your safari ranch in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. As the sun draws low, enjoy a locally sourced dinner under the open African sky.
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy | Rare & Unique Species
Take to the bush on game drives tracking big cats, elephants and endangered black rhino. Watch closely for indigenous northern species, such as the beisa oryx; Somali ostrich; reticulated giraffe; Grevy’s zebra; and the unusual long-necked gerenuk, which stands on its hind legs to feed. Look, too, for Grant’s gazelles, dik-diks, elands and impala as they, along with majestic leopards and lions, roam the vast landscape. You may also enjoy game viewing by horseback or search for nocturnal species on a night game drive.
Masai Mara Game Reserve | Riverine Wilderness
