Day 1 : Nairobi

A professional driver guide will pick you from the InterContinental Hotel and transfer you to Wilson domestic airport in time for your flight, departing Wilson at 9:15am, arriving Lewa at 10:15am. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to Lewa Safari Camp. Your first game drive will be this afternoon, followed by sundowners and dinner, including all beverages. (B, L, D)
Day 3 : Lewa Conservancy
Spend this day in the Lewa Conservancy, with early morning and afternoon game drives or walks. Your ranger guide will discuss your options and make recommendations for your time in this beautiful conservancy in the shadow of Mt Kenya. (B, L, D)
Day 4 : Lewa to Mara North Conservancy
Game drive enroute to the Airstrip in time for your flight to Mara departing at 10:05am – arriving Mara North at 11:30am. Met and transferred to Karen Blixen Camp. This afternoon, enjoy your first game drive in the Conservancy. Your ranger may take you to Leopard Lane where you drive slowly beneath the trees that leopard love to hide in. Or, he may take you to the savannah where prides of lion love to find a sunny spot. After a magnificent day of game viewing, your evening festivities will begin, and each evening will be different. First, you’ll enjoy sundowners in one of the Camp’s special locations – perhaps by the river to see what wildlife comes down for a drink, perhaps by a roaring bonfire where tales of Karen Blixen will be told. Dinner follows, and the dinner site might be indoors, or out in the bush under trees festooned with lanterns. (B,L,D)
Day 5 : Mara North Conservancy
This day will be spent in the Mara North conservancy on game drives. You may opt to do a half day, full day or morning and afternoon game drives – its your choice. (B,L,D)
Day 6 : Mara North Conservancy
After breakfast depart with goumet picnic lunches for a full day spent within the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s premier national park. (B,L,D)
Day 7 : Mara North Conservancy
This day is full of choices – you can choose to spend in the Mara North conservancy on game drives. You may opt to do a half day, full or morning and afternoon game drives. Or, if you prefer to just relax by the river, you will see hippos, elephants and other wildlife. An optional activity that we highly recommend is a hot air ballooning safari. There is nothing like floating quietly over the savannah and seeing wildlife below. (B,L,D)
