Itinerary

Nairobi’s Creative Pulse

Arrive in Nairobi and feel its lively rhythm. Wander through the Nairobi National Museum’s art-filled halls and the storied Karen Blixen House. Savor a hands-on boutique coffee-roasting session, inhaling the aroma of freshly ground beans. As dusk paints the skyline, enjoy rooftop cocktails while the city twinkles below.

Eka Hotel Nairobi

Rift Valley Crater Adventure

Journey into the Great Rift Valley for an invigorating hike up Mount Longonot’s volcanic rim, where panoramic views sweep across Lake Naivasha and the forested crater floor. Ease tired muscles in the warm, mineral-rich waters of Hell’s Gate geothermal spa, then savor an optional vineyard wine-tasting as the sun dips low.

Enashipai Resort and Spa

Aberdare Highlands and Waterfalls

Venture north into the cool, mist-shrouded Aberdare Ranges, stopping to capture the thundering 74-m Thomson’s Falls. After a farm-fresh lunch, stroll with a guide through towering bamboo and centuries-old cedars echoing with birdsong. As night falls, enjoy dinner beside a crackling fire and stargaze in the clear highland sky.

The Ark Lodge

Karura Forest Farewell

Back in Nairobi, cycle or stroll beneath Karura Forest’s towering canopies, where hidden caves and a shimmering waterfall create a secret woodland world. Savor a leisurely brunch at a forest café, then browse the vibrant Village Market for last-minute crafts before your transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
