The Trip!

DAY 1 Nairobi   A classical Cape Dutch house located in the last vestiges of rural farmland adjacent to Nairobi. Take time and enjoy a distillery tour, a tasting or stay a while, sprawl out and imbibe the snug informal atmosphere. Exclusively yours - A snug hosted home, fully provisioned pantry and distiller’s bar. Combining a spacious Lamu-esque suite overlooking Sheba’s Secret Garden with a chauffeured vehicle at your disposal. Overnight at Sheba's Secret Garden. 

DAYS 2 • 3 • 4 Ngare Serian is cozy, relaxed and the perfect base to start your safari: set along a riverbank teeming with laughing languorous hippo, the game is never far away. Explore in one of our safari vehicles, or take a walk on the wild side and head out on foot – both will bring different levels and layers to your experience… And top it off with a nocturnal adventure: take a bush dinner and red-filter spotlights and discover what the wilderness has to offer by way of nightlife. Overnights at Ngare Serian

DAY 5 Mara  Set in our own conservation area that no one has access to but us, we have built a little tree house above a lively salt lick on the Mara River. A fantastic position to perch and watch the world go by, by night nothing but branches between you and the stars. Walking this wild space, you will feel the opening of your senses, sharpening in response to the immediacy of the wilderness: vision, sound, smell all respond to the challenge of perceiving and reading the primordial signals of the bush. Enjoy at night in the Nest.

DAYS 6 • 7 & 11 • 12 • 13 The Lamai Wedge is a golden triangle defined by the Kenyan border on top, and the Mara River below, and remarkable for the beauty of the landscape as well as for fantastic sightings of predators and black rhino. Our camp is poised for action just above one of the major wildebeest crossing points, promising plenty of drama and action. Away from the river, absorb the mesmerising savannah, and spend quality time seeking out and hanging with animals. Have a picnic under a tree: channel the full-bellied lions and gaze up at the sunlight dappling through the leaves. Overnights at Serian's Serengeti Lamai. 

DAYS 8 • 9 • 10 Lamai  On foot you will feel the opening of your senses, sharpening in response to the immediacy of the wilderness: vision, sound, smell all respond to the challenge of perceiving and reading the primordial signals of the bush. Alex, in company of traditionally attired and armed Hadzabe guides, will teach you to see the landscape through their eyes, and immeasurably enhance the richness of the way you experience it. Drink in the active participation of engaging with your surrounds, and cultivate a fuller appreciation of the myriad intricacies that make up the magic of the bush. By night, take adventure back to its roots with fireside meals and bedrolls under the stars, and relish the stripped-back simplicity that is the beauty of flycamping. A night in the bush Fly Camping!

DAY 14 Wend your way to the Lamai airstrip and enjoy a leisurely game drive en route, before boarding the plane and hopefully catching a crossing from the sky!
