Exclusive Safari | 10 Days / 9 Nights | Kenya |
From the Mara’s wild theatre to Laikipia’s hidden frontiers
This journey is crafted for those who seek not only iconic wildlife, but true exclusivity and a deeper connection to Kenya’s most pristine landscapes. From the remote, game-rich valleys of the Naboisho Conservancy to the private sanctuary of Lewa, and onward to the raw, untouched beauty of Kalepo, each destination reveals a different rhythm of the wild. With a seamless blend of refined design, conservation-led experiences, and complete privacy, this is a safari that moves far beyond the ordinary, into places few have the privilege to explore.
Mara Nyika Camp
Masai Mara
Day 1-3
Arrive into the Maasai Mara and transfer to Mara Nyika Camp, tucked within the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy—renowned for its exceptional predator sightings and low vehicle density.
Days are spent on expertly guided game drives, where lion, cheetah, and elephant roam freely across open plains and acacia-dotted landscapes. The conservancy setting allows for a more flexible safari experience, including off-road driving, night safaris, and guided bush walks, offering a deeper, more immersive connection to the ecosystem.
Back at camp, contemporary canvas suites blend seamlessly into the landscape, while evenings unfold with fireside moments, fine dining, and uninterrupted views of the Mara’s vast wilderness.
Private Wilderness
Laikipia
Day 4-6
Fly north to the iconic Lewa Conservancy, arriving at Private Wilderness, an exclusive-use retreat set within a UNESCO World Heritage landscape and one of Kenya’s most successful conservation areas.
With complete privacy and a dedicated team, your stay is entirely bespoke. Set out on game drives in search of Lewa’s renowned black and white rhino, Grevy’s zebra, and abundant plains game. For a more unique perspective, enjoy horse riding safaris, camel treks, or guided walks across the rolling terrain.
Between adventures, unwind in your private residence, where expansive views, personalized service, and a deep sense of tranquility define the experience
Kalepo Camp
Day 7-9
Journey further into the remote north to Kalepo - a family owned and run luxury camp, a truly off-the-beaten-path experience in Samburuland's wild frontier. Here, the landscape is vast, rugged, and beautifully untouched, offering a rare sense of solitude and authenticity.
Days are shaped by exploration and discovery. Venture out on walking safaris, camel-supported expeditions, or fly camping experiences, embracing a slower, more elemental connection to the land. Wildlife sightings are complemented by rich cultural interactions with local Samburu communities, adding depth and meaning to the journey.
Kalepo is less about luxury in the traditional sense, and more about raw, immersive wilderness, a place where simplicity, silence, and space redefine what safari can be.
Departure
Nairobi
Day 10
After a final morning in the bush, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Nairobi and onward international departure—leaving with a profound sense of Kenya’s diverse and untamed beauty.
