Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Samburu – Sundowns and Wildlife in the Pristine Wilderness
As you land in Samburu, the first impression will be of a vast amount of space. As the landscape extends, you will strain your eyes to find something artificial or manufactured, but find nothing. Rather you will see a wild sweep of hills and grasslands that have not been interrupted by modernity. An elephant herd migrates on the plains below while a giraffe stalks away from the airstrip. The panoramas do not fit on camera as they just keep rolling and encase the magnificent wildlife of Africa. Your first safari property offers the epic view, and your private villa is built around natural rock features. Lounge on the sofa and watch animals pass and then dine beneath the rocky overhang before you slip into the infinity pool with a cocktail as sunset paints the sky. It's a one hour from Nairobi Wilson Airport to Samburu by light aircraft, where you will be greeted and transferred to the villa for a 30-minute massage and the unforgettable sense of being alone in the wild. Note that your international flight will land at Jomo Kenyatta airport in Nairobi, and you will be transferred privately to Wilson Airport.
