Itinerary

Day 1 : International outbound flight

Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Nairobi.

Day 2 : Nairobi

On arrival into Nairobi a driver will be waiting to take you to the incredible Giraffe Manor. The rest of the day will then be yours at leisure to relax in the unique grounds - home to a number of highly endangered Rothschild's giraffe.

Day 3 : Nairobi

Today, after enjoying breakfast with the giraffes, you will have the day to explore. A great option is to visit to the nearby Nairobi Elephant Sanctuary where you can watch the daily feeding of the orphaned elephants rescued by the Sheldrick Trust. A driver from Giraffe Manor will be on hand to enable this should you wish.

Day 4 : Amboseli National Park

This morning your driver will transfer you to Wilson Airport for your light aircraft flight to Amboseli National Park. When you arrive in Amboseli your guide from Tortilis will be waiting to game drive you back to the camp. You will arrive in time to settle into your room and enjoy some lunch before an afternoon safari activity.

Day 5 : Amboseli National Park

Today you can enjoy morning and afternoon safari activities from Tortillis Camp, which is set in a private concession on the edge of the famous Amboseli National Park. Amboseli is justly famous for its big game, in particular its elephants and for its great scenic beauty.

Day 6 : Amboseli National Park

Today you will have another day on safari exploring Amboseli. If you are particularly lucky, in the early morning, you may be treated to a view of the snow capped Kilimanjaro before the cloud settles in.

Day 7 : Meru National Park

This morning there will be time for one last game drive en route to the airstrip. From Amboseli you will fly back to Nairobi and then onto Meru. Again, when you arrive in Meru your guide will be waiting to take you back to camp for a late lunch and an afternoon safari...

Day 8 : Meru National Park

You have both game drives and guided walks to enjoy in Meru National Park, a beautiful wilderness area that also contains the 'Big Five' species and a specific area for rhino conservation.

Day 9 : Meru National Park

Enjoy a second day on safari from Elsa's in Meru National Park.

Day 10 : Masai Mara

Time for a change. This morning you will be transferred back to the airstrip for the shared light aircraft flight to Nairobi and onto the famous open plains of the Masai Mara. Met upon landing by your field guide, you will be transferred the short distance to camp, the beautifully secluded Little Governors Camp. Settle into a four night stay.

Day 11 : Masai Mara

Today you will have the full day on safari in the Masai Mara, home to some of the best game viewing anywhere in Africa. You can enjoy morning and afternoon game drives from your camp as well as short walking safaris, night game drives and sundowners out in the bush. A...

Day 12 : Masai Mara

Another day exploring more of the Mara from Little Governors. The guides here are superb and will be keen to ensure you see as much as possible during your time! If you have an animal in particular that you're really keen to see, do let your guide know so they can try to take you to the right areas.

Day 13 : Masai Mara

The Masai Mara is big cat country so keep your eyes peeled for lion, cheetah and of course the very elusive leopard.

Day 14 : International return flight

This morning you will be taken to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi's Wilson Aerodrome. A driver will then take you to the international airport to meet your onward flights.

Day 15 : International return flight

Arrive home today to complete your journey.
