Kenya Sample Itinerary

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the evening. Overnight at Ngong House, a unique property offering accommodation in individually decorated tree houses with sweeping views of the Ngong Hills.

After breakfast, depart by private charter to Shompole Lodge, located in southeast Kenya on the Tanzanian border, overlooking the vast Rift Valley floor.

Accommodations consist of privately situated "cottages" designed with privacy, comfort and relaxation in mind.

Shompole is part of one of the largest wildlife ecosystems left on earth, home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife and flora. Activities include early morning and evening walks, game viewing from custom four-wheel drive vehicles during the day and at night, river trips, and visits to pre-historic sights.

In the morning, depart by private charter to the Masai Mara. You'll be met and taken to your Private Royal African Safaris Camp.

Our mobile camps' maneuverability allows us to take our guests away from mass tourism and into wilderness areas where privacy is tantamount and where wildlife viewing is best at the time of your safari. Your insect-proof sleeping tent is divided into two portions – the front portion is your sleeping and sitting area and the rear portion is your bathroom facility featuring a basin, shower and toilet.

Since the early 1940's, Masai Mara has been Kenya's ultimate wilderness destination - and today it remains one of the only places left on earth where game can still be seen in the same super-abundance as a century ago. The Mara is best known for its awe-inspiring annual migration, which sees more than two million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra and a range of attendant predators (lion, leopard, hyena, and cheetah) stream over from the Serengeti.

We will fly to Lewa Conservancy where we will stay at Kifaru House.

Kifaru House is situated within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy on the northern slopes of Mt. Kenya. Accommodation consists of 6 privately situated cottages, each with their own bathroom. Close to the cottages is an infinity pool with views of the mountain. The main part of the house has a stunning great room with giant cedar beams and thatch and baronial fireplaces at each end.

Lewa is a 60,000-acre wildlife conservancy, situated on the vast Laikipia Plateau north of Mount Kenya. There is a variety of wildlife to be seen here including elephant, lion, buffalo, giraffe, bushbuck, a large black and white rhino population, and Grevy’s zebra.  Lewa is also one of the few places in Kenya where you may see the Sitatunga, a rare, semi-aquatic antelope. The bird life is abundant, with more than four hundred identified species.

In addition to day time game drives, we will have the opportunity to game drive at night here and see some of Kenya’s noctural species.  Other activities available to us are guided walks, cultural visits, and horseback riding.

We will drive to your Private Royal African Safari Camp in the Northern Frontier.

Kenya's traditional tribal peoples are best seen in the arid Northern Frontier – a sweeping 80,000 square miles of semi-desert, where the country's nomadic tribes lives have changed little in the last 500 years. A visit to one of the local villages offers a rare chance to witness traditional Samburu life as it really is, rather than the typical tourist's view.

This area offers some of the wildest and least harassed populations of elephants and other large game, as well as some of the country's most awe-inspiring landscapes. Our days will include exhilarating walking, village visits, and sunsets seen from panoramic viewpoints.

Fly by private charter back to Nairobi. Day rooms will be reserved for you at Ngong House. There will be time for any shopping or sightseeing you may wish to do in Nairobi. After dinner we will take you to the airport for your international flight.
