Morning Flight Nairobi – Lewa Downs (ca. 1 hour), Transfer to Lodge (ca. 2 hours)

The Laikipia plateau in central Kenya is one of the last stronghold of romantic East Africa - vast open ranches, shadowed by snow-capped Mount Kenya, dusty plains and verdant grasslands, interspersed with rocky hills, home to diverse communities including the Maasai and Samburu. It is home to more endangered mammals than anywhere else in East Africa, protecting half of Kenya's black rhino. The region also has large herds of elephant and wild dog, leopard, lion, cheetah and other predators hunting the plentiful game. You can enjoy game drives, bush walks or simply retreat from the world. Staying at a lodge that is owned, run and hosted by the local Maasai, you will get close to their everyday life.

Transfer to Samburu (ca. 3 hours)

A place of endless skies, dust-red plains and palm-fringed rivers, Samburu National Reserve lies on the fringes of a vast and arid desert, whose heat-scorched scrublands extend all the way to the jade-green waters of Lake Turkana and beyond. Samburu provides one of the few sanctuaries in Kenya for the endangered Grevy’s zebra and the rare Beisa Oryx whilst large herds of elephant roam the gaunt hills during the day before returning to bathe on the banks of the river in the evening. Experience a combined camel and walking safari. You will usually walk for two to four hours or so in the early morning and relax through the heat of the day, with the opportunity to stroll further in the afternoon and evening.

Morning Flight Samburu – Nairobi (ca. 1 hour), afternoon Flight Nairobi - Lamu (ca. 1.5 hours)

Located off the far northern Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, Lamu Archipelago is possibly one of the most relaxing places on earth. Established in the 14th century, Lamu is the oldest surviving Swahili town in Kenya, which explains why the streets are only wide enough for donkeys and pedestrians. A trading town for hundreds of years between Arabia and India buying and selling spices and ivory has produced a vibrant culture known as Swahili. Discover this charming town where in the evenings the aroma of thick Turkishlike coffee permeates the atmosphere; old men sit together philosophizing on the front steps of their houses, and little boys chase one another, darting in and out of quaint shops that line the main street.

Lamu
