10 Days African Delights Expedition

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and assisted to transfer to Emakoko. The Emakoko is a boutique lodge uniquely positioned on the edge of the Nairobi National Park. It is located a short 45 minute drive from either of Nairobi’s airports. The drive through the park itself, with its beautiful scenery and abundance of plains game is a superb way to start any East African safari. What better way to start a holiday by supporting the conservation of this unique area and in particular, by supporting the endangered Black Rhino which are prolific in this park.

The Nairobi National Park, despite its proximity to the capital city of Kenya, boasts a spectacular assortment of birds and wildlife, with over 400 species of bird recorded in one day. With an excellent possibility of spotting four of the Big Five, many Nairobi residents find the lodge a perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of city life. By staying at The Emakoko you are directly contributing to the protection and conservation of Nairobi National Park and its wildlife.

Breakfast and transfer to the Wilson airport for your scheduled flight to Tsavo West, the stage for the “Out Of Africa” movie (must watch prior). Check in at the luxurious Soroi Lions Bluff Lodge. Tsavo West National Park is Kenya’s oldest and largest national park, covering nearly 22,000 square kilometres of boundless space, varied terrain, and unrivalled biodiversity. From riverine forests and semi-arid shrublands to volcanic lava fields and prehistoric granite monoliths, Tsavo’s diverse landscapes and ecosystems yearn for exploration. The protected land is home to Africa’s Big 5 and more, including over 12 000 elephants that roam the Tsavo plains. Witness the majestic dust bathing rituals of our red elephant herds as you become familiar with the native calls of our bountiful birdlife species. Beyond the remarkable landscapes and abundance of wildlife, the spirit of Tsavo is truly spellbinding, leaving an imprint on the hearts and souls of travellers who have witnessed its glory.

Breakfast at the camp and then transfer to the airstrip for flight to the world famous Laikipia. Met and transferred to your Loisaba Tented Camp. Loisaba Tented Camp is a luxury camp offering abundant wildlife and sweeping views. Perched on the edge of an escarpment, Loisaba Tented Camp is designed to take advantage of unhindered views across the Laikipia Plateau’s breath-taking landscape, all the way to the peaks of Mount Kenya. The theme of the camp is one of African elegance and style, enhanced by an expansive panorama, which can be enjoyed from the large open dining area, the relaxing sitting area and bar, the tranquil wooden deck, and one of Africa’s most picturesque infinity pools.

Laikipia is a private conservancy, so you can drive off the trails. There will be nobody else in the vehicle, which means that you can spend as much time at specific scenes and capture wildlife from a complete variety of angles. Naturally, the game drives will maximize the best light at the beginning and end of the day. This is also when animals are most active. This is a fabulous destination for capturing photos of rhinos. Back and white rhinos live here in large numbers, and hopefully, you will be able to capture a shot of the two side by side. Big cat sightings are common with lions, leopards, and cheetahs being regularly spotted. Overall, these two days can revolve around any animals that you wish to photograph.

You will check out of your camp this morning after breakfast and transfer to the airstrip to catch your light aircraft flight to the famous Masai Mara, on arrival you will be met and transferred to &Beyond Bateleur Camp with game drive enroute. Set amongst the forest at the foot of the scenic Oloololo escarpment (the rim of the Great Rift Valley) in Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, is the classic and elegant Bateleur Camp. Here, amidst the reserve’s astounding year-round concentration of animals, including the seasonal Great Wildebeest Migration, guests can have an unsurpassed wildlife experience. Guests can almost exclusively explore this area on a game drive or on foot, enjoying access to pristine outdoor dining locations.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is arguably Kenya’s premier wildlife sanctuary, a staggering untouched natural park comprising sprawling emerald pastures, rugged rocky outcrops, and dense viridian forests. Furthermore, Masai Mara is home to the world’s ultimate wildlife spectacle, the Great Migration. Should you travel to Masai Mara during the appropriate time of year, you will have the fortune of witnessing this impressive natural display in which millions of wildebeest, gazelle, zebra, and other creatures sprint across the Serengeti towards the greener plains of Kenya while many predators seek kills during the chaos.
