East Africa’s revered experiences often fall into three categories. The primates and trekking to chimpanzees and gorillas in the forests of Uganda. The predators, the lions and leopards among those that prowl in Kenya on the Masai Mara and beyond. And the beach, an Indian Ocean island the perfect place to escape it all. This two-week multi-country safari combines the three, an immersion into the intimate delights of the region, connected by light aircraft that hops to remote destinations.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Nairobi – Wildlife Introductions in the Capital City
Nairobi is a remarkable city. An elephant ambles across the savannah beneath your balcony, backdropped by distant tower blocks. Three giraffes are in your vicinity, juxtaposed by the city’s banking offices. Nature has always thrived in Kenya, and it continues to do so in Nairobi National Park, the largest urban plain of wildlife anywhere on the planet. Your hotel is on the edge of the city, with a suite overlooking these plains, and a place to overcome travel fatigue and settle into the wonder of East Africa. You are greeted at the airport, and it is a 30-minute transfer to the hotel, where the rest of the afternoon is at your leisure.
