Day 1
Upon arriving at Olseki Airstrip one of our friendly Maasai guide will be standing ready to take you on your very first game drive en-route to camp. During your drive, you will be introduced to the exceptional wildlife of Mara Naboisho, including thriving populations of lions, elephants, cheetah and leopards. Arrive at Eagle View for lunch. After lunch, take some time to settle in. The camp is located atop a natural hilltop, allowing for unprecedented views of the savannah. Round off your day with an afternoon game drive complemented with a Basecamp sundowner on the open savannah. Return to camp in time for dinner, followed by story sharing and stargazing around the fireplace.
Day 2
Your day will begin with an early morning game drive, giving you great opportunities to see the wildlife during the gorgeous morning light. This will be followed by a picnic breakfast on the savannah. Since you will be in a private concession it is possible to drive off-road in search of that perfect photo opportunity. Later head back to camp to enjoy some relaxing time for the rest of the morning. In the late afternoon return to the wilderness in search of some exciting game experiences. The drive starts in the late afternoon as the sun’s rays are dipping to the west. After a leisurely pause for the classic Basecamp sundowner, and as the African day is transformed into a soft colorful evening canvas, the night drive begins. Return to camp then have dinner followed by storytelling around the campfire listening to the sounds of the bush.
Day 3
Enjoy an early breakfast before embarking on a full day walking safari. During the walk, your Maasai guide will teach you some of the finer details of the savannah, including how to identify animal footprints and different kinds of dung. At midday, your guide will locate a suitable Acacia tree, where you can relax and refuel on your packed lunch. Your walk will continue when the temperature cools down. Arrive at Leopard Hill in time for sunset sundowner. Enjoy a well-deserved dinner and you can end your day sipping wine by your private campfire place. When you are ready, retire to your tent to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the wilderness.
Day 4
Wake up at dawn to an array of optional safari activities including morning yoga or game drive safari from the camp. You can also take time to enjoy your unparalleled surroundings at Leopard Hill. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage session in the comfort of your tent (at an extra cost book with reception). Thereafter, have a laid back morning as you watch wildlife drinking water from the waterhole in front of your tent. After lunch, gather your things and say your goodbyes. One final game drive takes you to Naboisho Air Strip in time to board a scheduled flight bound for Nairobi. Arrive in Nairobi in time for your international departure flight.
Day 1: Nairobi
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyetta International Airport, our representative will collect you and transfer you to your hotel. This is the perfect start of your 8 days Kenya safari as you unwind after a long-haul flight. You'll spend the night at Palacina, an oasis of peace and calm in the bustling city of Nairobi.
Days 2 to 3: Nakuru
Your guide will collect you and take you to your next stop, Lake Nakuru. Here you will not only enjoy game drives but also make a stop at the famous 'Pride Rock'. You will visit Hell's Gate gorge and the Elephant Graveyard (all part of the Lion King movie). Journey through this park as you witness dramatic landscapes and wildlife.
Perched at the top of a 100-meter high rock face sits Lake Nakuru's newest and smartest addition, The Cliff, a 10 room luxury camp opened in June 2018. While 'luxury camp' is the simplest description, in reality, The Cliff location inside the park defies conventional labels, being a combination of a safari lodge, tented camp and a boutique hotel. It is constructed and furnished in a contemporary European style.
