Tour Itinerary
day one
Welcome to Kenya!
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and East Africa’s most cosmopolitan city, with a vibrant population of 4.5 million. Unique to the city is the proximity of Nairobi National Park, a true wilderness area juxtaposed against the larger urban metropolis. It is the only national park like it in the world and a real embodiment of the human-wildlife conflicts that challenge many African communities who must learn to cohabitate with wildlife on their doorstep.
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel, Tamarind Tree, for one night.
day TWO
Travel to the Mara
After breakfast, you will be transferred to Wilson Airport to board your morning flight to Mara. Upon arrival at the airstrip, the driver guide will be at hand to receive and drive you to the camp, with a game drive en route. Please note that all small aircraft flights have a strict luggage restriction of 15kg per person in soft sided bags
Spend four nights exploring the Reserve, with shared game drives and activities. You will have great chances of seeing the Big Five, Plain Games and Flora.
Spend four nights at Saruni Mara Bush House
Far removed from the most-visited parts of the Mara, Mara House overlook the popular Ol Chorro waterhole. There are just two houses which share a pool and the barbecue areas are ideal for sundowners or long lunches. Each house comes with a full team, including a chef, house manager, room stewards, waiters and your own private guide and vehicle. Inside Mara House, you’ll find an open-plan dining room and lounge with a log fire, perfect for when the temperature takes a slight dip in the evenings. The House has three en-suite bedrooms; a ground-floor bedroom with a shared bathroom, and an attic room that’s ideal for children. The House also has a private outdoor verandah with incredible views.
Your stay includes all meals, drinks, game drives, conservancy fee, sundowners, bush breakfast, laundry, private vehicle with guide and airstrip transfers.
day three
On safari in the Masai Mara
You have three full days on safari in the Masai Mara.
A safari with Saruni is by game drive and on foot. Game drives use comfortable, fully-open Land Rovers, specially designed to give you maximum visibility over the landscape and the animals. On foot safaris, you will explore the plains, mountains, and hills that surround Saruni. As you have a private vehicle and guide, your safari experience will be fully tailor made around the family. In the Land Rover you are accompanied by your professional guide and a tracker, a team that will help you to read the book of nature. They don’t rush while on safari and there will be time to observe the wild animals, to see how they interact and to study their behaviour and habitats. No matter whether the days are hot or cold, sunny or rainy, the wildlife here is always in action. They will take you to the famous spots as well as the secret corners where you never meet another vehicle. It is the Masai Mara without the minibuses, as hunters and explorers of old experienced it. These secluded places are perfect for a bush dinner or lunch. Deep in the forest or by the Mara River overlooking a hippo beach, you will be treated to a gourmet meal and the sights and sounds of the wilderness all from a beautifully decorated table.
