Itinerary
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll be met and transferred to your luxury Nairobi hotel. Depending on your arrival time, explore Nairobi’s vibrant attractions including the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, or the Karen Blixen Museum. Alternatively, enjoy leisure time at your hotel, savoring fine dining and relaxation as you prepare for your luxury African safari adventure. Overnight accommodation includes dinner and breakfast.
After a leisurely breakfast, transfer to Wilson Airport for your scenic flight to Borana Conservancy, soaring over the dramatic landscapes of central Kenya with breathtaking views of Mount Kenya. Upon landing at the private airstrip, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Lengishu House staff and transferred through the conservancy with your first game viewing en route. Arrive at your exclusive cottage for a gourmet lunch, followed by relaxation time to settle into your private sanctuary. As afternoon unfolds, embark on your inaugural wilderness safari game drive through diverse habitats ranging from open grasslands to acacia woodlands, with sundowners at a scenic viewpoint before returning for a candlelit dinner.
Awaken to the sounds of the African bush and enjoy flexible safari schedules tailored entirely to your preferences. Begin each day with optional early morning walking safaris led by expert guides and Maasai trackers, offering intimate encounters with wildlife and insights into tracking techniques and bush survival skills. Return for sumptuous breakfasts on your private veranda overlooking the wilderness. Midday hours offer diverse options: embark on a horseback safari across the plains, visit the anti-poaching K9 unit and rhino sanctuary, indulge in spa treatments, or simply relax by your private plunge pool. Afternoon game drives venture to different corners of the conservancy, maximizing wildlife diversity with opportunities to spot predators, endangered species, and the spectacular birdlife of over 300 recorded species. Experience the thrill of night drives spotting elusive nocturnal creatures including aardvarks, leopards, and genets. On one evening, enjoy a magical bush dinner under ancient trees, illuminated by lanterns and accompanied by the sounds of the African night—the essence of an exclusive safari experience.
Dedicate your final full day to deeper conservation and cultural immersion. Begin with a dawn game drive focused on photographing the conservancy’s diverse wildlife in golden morning light. After breakfast, choose between visiting a traditional Maasai or Samburu village for authentic cultural exchanges, learning about their pastoral traditions and beadwork artistry, or joining conservancy rangers for insights into anti-poaching efforts and wildlife monitoring programs. Enjoy a leisurely lunch before your final afternoon wilderness safari game drive, perhaps exploring the pristine Ngare Ndare Forest with its stunning waterfalls and canopy walkways (subject to arrangement). Conclude your Borana experience with a farewell dinner celebrating your wilderness journey, sharing unforgettable safari memories beneath the star-studded African sky.
Savor a final sunrise over Mount Kenya with an optional early morning game drive or simply relax on your veranda, absorbing the tranquil beauty of your surroundings. After breakfast, bid farewell to Lengishu House and transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi. Upon arrival at Wilson Airport, you’ll be transferred to Crowne Plaza Airport Hotel where a day room awaits for rest and freshening up before your international departure. Enjoy access to hotel facilities including dining options and business amenities until your evening transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.
