On arrival at Nairobi International Airport you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. The remainder of your day is at your leisure.
2 nights Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages.
The reception at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages, Ltd. is the Historic Swedo House which was the original hunting lodge/farm house, built between 1906 and 1908. It is located approximately half a mile from the Karen Blixen Museum (Bogani House from the film “Out of Africa”) and is a 30-minute drive from downtown Nairobi.
The luxury hotel cottages were built in 2001, and are adjacent to the Karen Golf and Country Club where guests can enjoy a host of leisure activities, including golf, tennis, and squash. A host of other amenities such as shops, restaurants, and financial services can all be found nearby, within the Karen suburb.
There are 13 en-suite cottages – 6 one-bedroom cottages, 3 family cottages, and 1 honeymoon cottage. They can be configured into a single, double, or twin. A baby cot is provided on request.
You will be transferred to Nairobi Airport for your scheduled flight to Kilimanjaro. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your accommodation in the Tarangire National Park. Enjoy the possibility of game viewing as you enter the park and make your way to your lodge and after lunch enjoy a game drive in the park. (BLD)
2 nights Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge.
Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge is located in the heart of Tarangire, Tanzania’s wild land and landscapes. Tarangire is famed for its massive elephant herds, true sense of wilderness and a gentle backdrop of baobabs. It is the lesser visited but more intriguing park on the northern circuit.
At Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, they have 10 standard tented suites (including one honeymoon option with outdoor shower) PLUS 2 x 2 bedroom inter-connected tented family suites that are open throughout the year. During these dry months, the massive elephant herds travel through the corridor between Manyara and Tarangire and spend their time in and around the park. This is because of their ability to uncover permanent sources of fresh water. They endeavour to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism. The main thatched area is open plan from bar to lounge to dining area - and offset with a stunning rim flow pool in front of the property overlooking the wild expanses ahead, all the way to the Great Rift Valley wall.
Leaving behind Tarangire you make your way towards your next stop near the Ngorongoro Crater. After arrival at your camp you have the remainder of the day at your leisure to enjoy the camp facilities. (BLD)
2 nights Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp.
Lemala Ngorongoro is intimately set in a delightful ancient acacia forest close to the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. As it is located next to the quiet Lemala crater access road on the eastern side, a key advantage of staying at Lemala Ngorongoro is the quick and easy drive down on to the crater floor in the morning; Lemala guests usually have an hour's head start over others descending via the far busier Seneto crater access road on the western rim. Game drives from camp may start as early as 06h15 and guests can be down among Ngorongoro’s abundant wildlife on the floor within 10-15 minutes - crucial for photographers who demand the best light conditions. Escorted walks are also available into the forest and along the crater rim with an armed ranger and Masai guide.
Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp has 9 spacious tents that are positioned carefully to provide privacy and with minimal impact on the pristine forest environment. They accommodate two queen-size beds, and as it can get cool on the Ngorongoro Crater rim at night, little luxuries like warm winter-weight duvets, hot water bottles and gas heaters ensure a cosy night's sleep. The roomy en-suite bathrooms contain a dressing area, flush toilet and a large safari-style shower.
The mess tent is beautifully furnished with grand sofas, lamps, bookshelves and corner cabinets in old wood, chests and rugs. In the evening, guests can gather around the campfire to exchange tales of the day's safari followed by a sumptuous hearty meal.
Today you head into the Serengeti National Park. Arriving at your camp in the afternoon, with game viewing along the way, and if time permits a game drive before sunset. (BLD)
3 nights Naona Moru Camp.
Located on an elevated viewing point beside the famous Moru Kopjes, this tented camp allows guests to explore the resident and migratory wild game all year round. The landscape pans from the great southern plains of the Serengeti into the central hub of the most famous national park in Africa, close to Seronera Airstrip. The tented suites cater for honeymooners with private bush dinners, a small group of friends and even families with large tents to place bedding for two adults and up to three children.
Departing not only the Serengeti but also Tanzania as you make your way back to Kenya. You will be transferred to the local airstrip for your flights to the Masai Mara. On landing, you will be met and transferred to your camp. If time permits enjoy an afternoon game drive. (BLD)
3 nights Zebra River Camp.
Zebra River Camp is a boutique luxury-tented safari camp nestled in the forest along the bend of Talek River in Maasai Mara. The river and the forest under which the camp sits are teeming with birdlife, hippos and crocodiles, and plains game on the other side of the camp. With only fifteen rooms and one family tent, this small camp suits couples, families and groups who are looking for luxury in the Mara in a small luxury safari camp while enjoying the magic of safaris in Maasai Mara. The spacious main area has comfy lounges connected to a fully stocked bar for guests to enjoy various drinks, teas and coffees throughout the day.
You will drive through to your next stop located close to the Lake Nakuru National Park. After lunch, enjoy a game drive within the park. (BLD)
2 nights Mbweha Safari Camp.
Nestled on the southern border of Lake Nakuru National Park, Mbweha Camp is 2.5 hours away from Nairobi and overlooks the scenic Eburru and Mau ranges. The accommodation features a spacious lounge, a dining area and ten rustic cottages with thatched roofs.
