Adventure Safaris
Wild Lands and Culture
Duration: 10 Days / 9 Nights
Destination: Amboseli National Park, Samburu, Namunyak Conservancy and Mara Naboisho Conservancy
Day 1
Meet our team for an initial briefing after you land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), then transfer across Nairobi to Wilson Airport for your scheduled domestic flight to Amboseli. When you reach Amboseli, you’ll be met by your guide for a short game drive to the camp where a delicious lunch awaits.
Days 1, 2, 3
Carefully chosen game activities and interactive community activities, including opportunities to meet Amboseli’s famous elephants and view Mount Kilimanjaro (across the border in Tanzania).
Includes: three nights’ accommodation in the Amboseli National Park area (full board) and selected local drinks on the game package plan.
Day 4
Enjoy a cup of Kenyan coffee before your transfer to the airstrip for your early-morningscheduled flight back to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Connect to your mid-morning scheduled flight to Samburu’s Kalama Airstrip, and then enjoy a two-hour drive to the camp in the Namunyak Conservancy. This will give you your first look at the scenery of the Samburu region, which you’ll find to be dramatically different from Amboseli.
Days 4, 5, 6
Curated safari activities including game drives in the pristine Namunyak Conservancy, and opportunities to learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Samburu people – one of Kenya’s most distinctive ethnic groups.
Includes: three nights’ accommodation in the Namunyak Conservancy (full board) and selected local drinks on the game package plan.
Day 7
Take advantage of the cooler temperatures in the morning to transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to the legendary Maasai Mara. When you land at Naboisho Airstrip, you can choose between going straight to the camp for lunch, or heading straight out on a game drive (to include a picnic lunch).
Day 6 ,7, 8
Explore the Naboisho Conservancy with your guide and get to know the landscapes, wildlife and people at your own pace.
Includes: three nights’ accommodation in the Naboisho area (full board) and selected local drinks on the game package plan.
Day 9
Savour one last safari breakfast in camp; later, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled 11h00 flight back to Wilson Airport. On arrival at 12h20, our friendly team will meet you and assist with your transfer to JKIA for your return international flight. This transfer will include a lunch stop, with lunch for your own account.
