Alternatively, you can relax at your hotel, enjoying fine dining and unwinding as you prepare for your luxury safari adventure in Kenya. Overnight accommodations include dinner and breakfast.
After a leisurely breakfast, transfer to Wilson Airport for a scenic flight to Tsavo West. Upon landing at Kilaguni airstrip, you will be greeted by Finch Hattons staff and embark on your first game drive to the camp.
Arrive at your luxury tented suite overlooking natural springs where elephants and buffalo drink. After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive through Tsavo’s volcanic terrain, exploring the Shetani lava flows and searching for the park’s famous red elephants. Conclude your day with sundowners overlooking the Chyulu Hills, followed by a gourmet dinner under the stars.
Awaken to the sounds of the African wilderness and enjoy a flexible luxury safari Kenya schedule tailored to your interests. Begin with an early morning game drive to Mzima Springs, where crystal-clear waters from the Chyulu Hills emerge, creating an oasis teeming with hippos, crocodiles, and diverse birdlife. Visit the underwater observation chamber for remarkable views of hippos in their aquatic habitat. Return to camp for a sumptuous breakfast on your private deck. Midday offers options to relax at the infinity pool, indulge in spa treatments, or simply savor the tranquility of your surroundings. After lunch, choose between visiting Roaring Rocks for panoramic vistas, exploring ancient lava caves, or tracking wildlife through diverse habitats ranging from acacia woodlands to open grasslands. Your final evening at Finch Hattons concludes with a romantic bush dinner, illuminated by lanterns and accompanied by traditional Maasai dancers.
Following breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive before transferring to the airstrip for your flight to the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. As you soar northwestward, witness Kenya’s dramatic landscape transitions from volcanic terrain to the fertile highlands and eventually the golden savannah. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed at Mahali Mzuri and transferred to your luxury tented suite with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing sweeping valley views. After a gourmet lunch and relaxation time at the infinity pool, embark on your first game drive through this exclusive private conservancy. With just one vehicle per 350 acres compared to one per seven acres in the main reserve, experience intimate wildlife encounters in uncrowded wilderness. Enjoy sundowners in the bush before returning for dinner and sharing safari stories around the fire.
Immerse yourself in the ultimate premium safari experience with two full days exploring the Olare Motorogi Conservancy’s 33,000 acres of pristine wilderness. Begin each morning with optional walking safaris led by expert Maasai guides, offering ground-level perspectives on tracking techniques, medicinal plants, and the intricate ecosystem dynamics. Return for champagne breakfasts on your private deck while watching wildlife traverse the valley below. Midday hours provide diverse options: relax with spa treatments, lounge by the infinity pool, or visit a traditional Maasai village for authentic cultural exchanges learning about their pastoralist traditions and beadwork artistry. Afternoon game drives venture across varied terrain with unrestricted off-road access, maximizing opportunities to witness the conservancy’s exceptional predator density—home to thriving populations of lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Experience the thrill of night game drives spotting nocturnal species including servals, genets, and aardwolves rarely seen during daylight hours. On one evening, enjoy a magical bush dinner beneath acacia trees, illuminated by hurricane lamps and serenaded by the sounds of the African night. Your days unfold with complete flexibility, whether pursuing photographic ambitions, seeking specific wildlife species, or simply savoring the luxury of unhurried wilderness immersion.
Savor your final sunrise over the Olare Motorogi Conservancy with an optional early morning game drive, maximizing last opportunities to witness remarkable wildlife activity.
