**Day 1: Nairobi**
Transfer on arrival and spend the night at Giraffe Manor where these resident gentle giants may poke their heads into your bedroom window or wish to be served at the breakfast table!

**Days 2 – 4: Nairobi > Samburu**
Fly to Samburu and spend the next three nights in the West Gate Conservancy which borders the Samburu National Reserve.

Sasaab Camp is situated above the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, in the arid heart of Samburu land. It’s a tranquil retreat that boasts sweeping views across the Laikipia Plateau towards Mount Kenya. The Moroccan style of the unique cottages lends itself to days spent enjoying the views and the breeze. Set on a pristine conservancy, With its own resident game and the striking landscapes of the Samburu National Park nearby, game drives at Sasaab boast fantastic variety in both scenery and game viewing. Look out for the Samburu Five – gerenuk, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and Grevy’s zebra.

**Day 5 – 7: Samburu > Masai Mara National Reserve**
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the lodge before heading to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to take you to the iconic Masai Mara. Spend the next three nights at Sala’s Camp.

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most renowned game park, situated on the northern border of the Serengeti. Its legendary seasonal Great Migration of over two million wildebeest and other antelope has been described as one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles and an experience every safari enthusiast should witness at least once in their lifetime. Game viewing in this celebrated park is wonderful throughout the year, with virtually guaranteed sightings of the Big Five.

During winter, the Mara becomes very busy and wildlife sightings become very active, with vehicles gathering for a lion kill or potential river crossings. During the quieter summer months and the green season, the reserve is much quieter and visitors feel as if they have the Masai Mara to themselves. Although the big herds of the Great Migration have moved off by this time, the abundant resident game can still be seen, and wildlife sightings still rival anywhere in the world.

**Day 8: Masai Mara > Nairobi **
Today you board your light aircraft flight for Nairobi, where your safari ends with a transfer to the International Airport for your onward departure.

Located in the heart of the 35,000-acre Olare Motorogi Conservancy, in the middle of one of the richest wild ecosystems in the world. The design of Mara Plains is one of understatement and quiet class. The decor pays homage to the essence of East Africa and its chief influences – Maasai and Arab culture.

Ancient Swahili heritage is reflected in large wooden doors from the coastal island of Lamu, and accents of deep red and purple honour the great Maasai chiefs and warriors. Add to this cultural melting pot a nod to the colonial era, with rich leathers, copper and brass used in expedition-style campaign furniture and you have a lavish, residential atmosphere which complements the surrounding wilderness.

One of only five camps on the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, guests at Mara Plains have unrivalled access to more than 100,000 acres of exclusive land, home to extensive areas of important habitat for a vast number of wildlife species, while still having access to the Maasai Mara’s additional 375,000 acres.
