Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi

A Bespoke African Safari Co. representative will greet you and drive you to The Palacina after you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The Palacina is the ideal starting point for your Kenya safari experience because it is a tranquil hideaway amid the busy metropolis of Nairobi. Check in to your suite and enjoy downtime at the indoor or outdoor swimming pool, or unwind after your flight with a luxurious spa treatment. Alternatively, you can venture further afield to visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Karen Blixem Museum. In the evening, you can enjoy a drink at the Palacina Bar followed by dinner at the Bistro or make your way into town for dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.

Included Activities

Take advantage of the hotel’s amenities or travel to the Karen Blixen Museum, where sequences from the film Out of Africa were shot, and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which cares for orphaned animals so they can return to the wild.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Check-in at The Palacina

Day 2 – 3: Transfer Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park Kenya Safari Experience : Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters

Your specialized guide will meet you and drive you through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park as the first phase of your luxurious safari in Kenya gets underway. The Cliff, a secluded luxury camp set on a rocky cliff top, is where you’ll check-in. The tented accommodations at the camp have 180-degree views of Lake Nakuru, a rare soda lake in the park, and a flamingo feeding area. Balance your mind, body, and spirit with morning yoga and stretching classes, restorative spa treatments, or head to the gym pavilion to get your heart rate up before going on early-morning and late-night game drives in search of the endangered Rothschild Giraffe, leopard, lion, buffalo, and rhino. The iconic “Pride Rock” and a trip further afield to the imposing red cliffs of Hell’s Gate National Park will be highlights of your safari experience.

Included Activities

Enjoy morning and afternoon wildlife drives around Lake Nakuru National Park or take in the sights of Lake Nakuru, where hippos wallow in the shallow water and thousands of pink flamingos nest along the coast.

Accommodation: Check-in at The Cliff

Day 4 – 7: Transfer to Masai Mara Game Reserve

Your devoted guide will meet you and transport you to the Masai Mara Game Reserve following a revitalizing breakfast with a view of Lake Nakuru‘s glistening waters. This wildlife haven is well-known for the yearly Great Wildebeest Migration and offers fantastic game viewing all year long. The opulent Sand River Masai Mara serves as your base in the Mara and embodies the glitz of a 1920s safari camp with a contemporary “low impact” concept. It is situated on the banks of the Sand River. Experience the Mara on skillfully led game drives or watch the enormous herds of wildebeest cross the Sand River on your way to the luxury of your tent.

Included Activities

Take daily 4×4 safari game drives across the Masai Mara in pursuit of incredible wildlife, or relax on your private terrace and wait for the herds of wildebeest to approach you. A local town and school can be visited during your stay, and hot air balloon safaris can be reserved upon request.
