Kenya - The grand old dame of African safaris, Kenya has been at the forefront of the industry for decades, and with iconic reserves such as Masai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu and Tsavo, it has earned its place in safari royalty. Kenya's wildlife is legendary, as is its hospitality, friendliness, and scenic beauty. With the Great Rift Valley running through the country, Kenya is home to some stunning landscapes, with lakes, valleys and mountains adding to the beautiful plains of the Masai Mara. To add to the spectacular wildlife, Kenya is one of the best countries to experience local tribes and cultures.
One of Africa's major cities, Nairobi is the UN's fourth "World Centre," East Africa's commercial, media and NGO hub, and a significant capital in its own right, with a population of approximately 3 to 4 million. Little more than a century old, it has real claims to Western-style sophistication and displays enormous vitality and buzz. On the surface the city accepts everyone with tolerance, and, in any downtown street, you can see a complete cross section of Kenyans, every variety of tourist, and migrants and refugees from many African countries.
Ole Sereni Hotel, Nairobi's iconic airport hotel, seamlessly blends urban luxury with the untamed beauty of the Nairobi National Park. Since 2009, guests have enjoyed unparalleled views of giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and antelopes roaming freely from the comfort of their private balconies. The hotel offers a unique opportunity to experience exhilarating safaris and game drives, with the constant protection of local tribes.
After a day of exploration, retreat to the hotel's comfy yet contemporary accommodations, featuring relaxing hues, modern technology, and African-inspired décor. With 134 rooms designed to cater to both families and business travelers, guests can enjoy exceptional views of either Nairobi's bustling streets or the tranquil national park.
Ole Sereni is also a culinary destination, offering diverse dining experiences from global cuisines to handcrafted cocktails. Guests can savor fresh seafood or aged steaks at Eagle's The Steakhouse, boasting breathtaking park views, or enjoy casual drinks by the infinity pool. The hotel further provides quintessential spaces for weddings and meetings, just 15 minutes from Nairobi's CBD, making it an ideal choice for both leisure and business.
This morning, you’ll transfer to nearby Wilson Airport for your flight into the heart of the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, where your safari begins at Naboisho Camp, an elegant, intimate retreat nestled in one of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich regions.
With just nine spacious tents, each with a private veranda and en-suite bathroom, the camp offers a refined blend of comfort, exclusivity, and wilderness charm. As part of a small group of like-minded travellers, you’ll enjoy personalised attention and a front-row seat to the drama of the savannah.
Naboisho is renowned for its exceptional wildlife, from lion and cheetah to giraffe, elephant, and vast herds of plains game. Together with your expert guides, you’ll explore the conservancy in diverse and immersive ways, on foot as well as by day and night game drives.
The Mara Elephant Project offers a meaningful opportunity to connect, learn, and understand the rich heritage of the region, experiences we highly recommend.
Here, the wild feels close, the group connection is real, and the experience is nothing short of unforgettable.
It is no surprise that the Masai Mara ranks up near the top of most famous game reserves in the world. The land of the Mara is consistently covered with herds of antelope, interspersed with prides of lions, journeys of giraffe, dazzles of zebra, and almost every other collective animal noun you can think of. The sightings are nothing short of fantastic, and it is the park to visit to tick off your "wildlife of Africa" list. The scenery of the park is similar to the open plains of the Serengeti, although the Mara is dotted with more trees, and the game viewing is equal to, or can be better than.
Naboisho Camp offers an extraordinary safari experience within Kenya's private Mara Naboisho Conservancy, adjacent to the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Here, luxury and wilderness intertwine, providing a year-round haven for abundant wildlife. Our newly renovated and spacious guest tents feature stunning views of the Naboisho plains, where elephants and buffalo roam freely, and the nightly roar of lions is a common serenade.
Naboisho Camp seamlessly blends stylish accommodation, rich wildlife, and a harmonious approach to tourism, conservation, and community development. Guests can embark on thrilling walking and night safaris, or create unforgettable memories with an overnight fly-camping adventure in the bush. For passionate photographers, our specially adapted vehicles ensure optimal opportunities during dedicated photo safari excursions. Naboisho Camp is open year-round and welcomes families with children aged 5 and older.
At Naboisho Camp, you'll find a secluded and exclusive retreat. The conservancy, a non-profit initiative, partners with the Maasai people and tourism operators like Asilia to manage the land. All tourism fees directly support conservancy management and lease payments to Maasai landowners, creating a perfect symbiosis of conservation, community empowerment, and sustainable tourism.
After a sumptuous breakfast, prepare for a breathtaking journey as you fly across the border into Tanzania, soaring over the iconic plains of the Serengeti National Park.
Renowned as one of the continent’s top locations for viewing big cats, Namiri Plains offers unrivalled sightings of lion, leopard, and cheetah, often seen patrolling the grasslands or stalking their prey. Set out at dawn for a game drive in the golden light, or take to the bush on a walking safari to uncover the hidden and intimate details of the Serengeti.
Between wildlife adventures, take time to unwind. Lounge by the pool as zebra and elephant gather at the spring in front of camp, or indulge in a rejuvenating massage while the plains stretch endlessly before you.
Take to the skies on a breathtaking morning balloon safari, an unforgettable way to experience the savannah from a new perspective.
Whether you’re reconnecting with nature or sharing the experience with your fellow travellers, Namiri Plains offers a profound sense of place, stillness, and shared wonder, an elevated chapter in your East African journey.
As a group, you’ll have the unique opportunity to engage with the Serengeti Cheetah Project, joining the researchers for an insightful evening to learn more about the protection of these iconic cats and the vital role this region plays in their survival.
A land full of icons, with the names Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar immediately evoking images of exotic locations and abundant wildlife. A Tanzanian safari is an experience for all of the senses, and caters for every kind of traveller. Tanzania is a country which was seemingly designed with the word "safari" in mind. There are enough national parks and different safari activities to keep travellers coming back year on year, with the added benefit of easily combining beautiful tropical beaches with the wildlife rich plains.
The word "Siringit" means "endless plains," and this is understandably from where the Serengeti National Park takes its name. The iconic, endless, golden plains of Africa are nowhere more evident than within this national park, as they stretch off into eternity, dotted throughout with thousands of animals. Located in the north-west corner of Tanzania, alongside Lake Victoria, the Serengeti has earned its place as one of the world's most famous wildlife areas. While best known for the enormous herds of the wildebeest migration, there is far more to the Serengeti than this!
Namiri Plains, nestled in the remote eastern Serengeti, offers an unparalleled safari experience in the heart of "big cat country." This tranquil and secluded retreat, renowned as the first safari camp in the area, boasts guides with an intimate knowledge of the plains and a deep respect for the ecosystem. Guests can immerse themselves in thrilling dawn-to-dusk game drives, specialized photographic safaris in custom-designed vehicles, or unwind by the welcoming pool, in the library, or with a revitalizing massage at the spa. The camp provides comprehensive, high-quality, year-round game viewing, luxurious accommodations, and exceptional service levels.
The 11 tented suites, including a refurbished family suite, blend elegant interiors with natural textures and luxurious touches. Each suite features sliding doors, an expanded viewing deck, and an outdoor standalone resin bathtub. The unique stone walls, crafted from solidified volcanic ash, naturally regulate temperature, ensuring comfort day and night. With canvas walls that open fully to uninterrupted Serengeti views, guests are constantly connected to the breathtaking environment. Namiri Plains truly offers a luxurious escape where every whim is catered to amidst the stunning setting and abundant wildlife.
Today you make your way by aeroplane to Ruaha National Park, a place of striking contrasts—sun-bleached plains, towering baobabs, and palm-lined rivers alive with wildlife. From lion, leopard, and elephant to the endangered African wild dog, this hidden gem offers exceptional game viewing. During the rains, waterfalls thunder and rivers flow; in the dry season, buffalo gather in dusty riverbeds and elephant dig deep for water.
Tucked into granite boulders and baobab groves, Jabali Ridge is an elegant hideaway with just eight airy suites, blending seamlessly into the landscape. Private verandas offer expansive views across park, perfect for a quiet moment of reflection or a shared sundowner.
Spend your days on game drives or bush walks with expert guides, and return to camp for a dip in the infinity pool, a spa treatment, or a drink under the trees. As night falls, gather with your fellow travellers for dinner beneath a sky full of stars.
The Southern Tanzania Elephant Program offers a powerful opportunity to connect with conservation efforts, gain insight into local traditions, and deepen your understanding of this remarkable region.
Also on the southern circuit, but even further removed than the Selous, Ruaha National Park provides a wild and game rich safari experience, with an incredible dry season concentration of animals. With its variety of landscapes, and excellent sightings, as well as the remote location far from any major human habitation, Ruaha has made a name for itself as one of Africa's great game reserves. A unique mix of species is found in Ruaha, with the park being located in the transitional zone between the acacia savannah of East Africa and the miombo woodland belt of Southern Africa.
Jabali Ridge, an award-winning safari lodge by Asilia Africa, offers a luxurious and intimate wilderness experience in Tanzania's Ruaha National Park. Perched atop a rocky outcrop, the lodge seamlessly blends organic woods, African-inspired decor, and breathtaking views of the surrounding baobab forests and grasslands. Guests can unwind by the infinity pool, indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, and immerse themselves in the unparalleled beauty and diverse wildlife of Ruaha, a park renowned for its excellent walking safaris and rich biodiversity at the crossroads of Southern and East African ecosystems. Its strategic location near the seasonal Mwagusi River places it in a prime game-viewing area, offering frequent sightings of elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, wild dogs, and over 550 bird species.
The lodge features eight expansive, light-filled suites nestled among giant granite boulders, each boasting king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas with sunken lounges and hammocks – perfect for soaking in the golden hour views. Jabali Ridge provides an unforgettable escape for travelers seeking both active safari adventures and serene moments of relaxation in a truly wild setting.
