Rates From $9,775

About This Tour

This safari offers a balanced journey through two of Kenya’s most diverse conservation areas. It is designed for travellers seeking a quiet, high-end experience that combines focused rhino conservation with the vast movement of the Great Migration. The rhythm is steady, allowing for deep immersion in each landscape without the rush of long road transfers.

The journey begins in the sophisticated atmosphere of Nairobi before flying north to the rugged plains of the Lewa Conservancy. From there, the safari moves south to the open grasslands of the Masai Mara. Each transition is handled by short internal flights, ensuring guests arrive refreshed and ready for the day’s activities.

The experience is defined by comfort and a gentle pace. Guests stay in intimate camps that offer a sense of privacy and a close connection to the surrounding wilderness. The trip’s flow ensures ample time for both active wildlife viewing and peaceful moments of rest.

Our Community Impact

This safari supports local livelihoods through direct employment at the camps and conservancy fees that fund community projects. By staying in private conservancies, guests contribute to the protection of land for both wildlife and the people who live alongside it.

Our Sustainability Promise

We prioritise partners like the Great Plains Foundation that operate with a low environmental footprint. The camps featured in this itinerary prioritize renewable energy and water conservation to ensure the wilderness remains protected for future generations.

Why This Safari Works

This itinerary is well designed because it uses internal flights to connect two distinct ecosystems, saving time and reducing travel fatigue. The route moves from the private, high-altitude terrain of Lewa to the iconic plains of the Mara, offering a complete wildlife perspective. It works best for couples and small groups who value conservation and a seamless, unhurried travel rhythm
