Safari summary

Hidden Kenya will take you to game rich areas that are off-the-beaten path, away from the crowds. It is a safari that is elevated to another level in accommodations and experiences. The areas visited are relatively remote but always in reach of the more popular game viewing areas. Travel to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the scenic and game rich area of Laikipia and the jewel of Kenya, the Maasai Mara.

Experience Kenya on an intimate level on private concessions and conservancies where vehicles are strictly limited. Here you will be able to do game drives in open vehicles, travel off-road, take nature walks and more.
We have selected a grouping of boutique safari properties that must meet the following standards: excellent wildlife regions, enriching activities, an African décor that echoes all that is Africa, excellent food, and personalized services.

If you only go to Africa once, do it right. Be in the best camps, have the best guides and experience Africa in all its glory. The advantage of being in the concessions and conservancies is the ability to do game drives where vehicles are limited but wildlife is not. There are also off roading, night drives, walks and visits to authentic Maasai villages visits- all are part of the Hidden Kenya safari.

Itinerary

Day 01 - Welcome

Step off the plane and into Africa! Receive a warm welcome from our VIP host who will escort you to your hotel for the evening and fill you in on the upcoming journey. Get a good night’s sleep... the adventure begins in the morning! Nairobi is a surprising city, with excellent large hotels, small boutique properties and world-class restaurants. There is a strong British influence with everything from high tea to their bit of formal friendliness.

Day 02 - On Safari

Amboseli

A short flight takes you to the Amboseli Game Reserve and the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The highlight of any visit to Amboseli is the great elephant population, one of the largest in East Africa. The elephants here have been poached for many years until researchers came into the park to protect these very special creatures.

Day 03

Amboseli

Amboseli's permanent swamps keep the elephant, hippo, buffalo, giraffe and a profusion of bird life enjoying its waters. This is also the home to a large cheetah population. Cap off a rewarding first day on safari with sundowners (cocktails) as you marvel at views of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, in the twilight.

Day 04

Laikipia Plateau

Rise early this morning for a dawn game drive, the best time to see the snow-capped Kilimanjaro and perhaps catch the morning predator activities. After breakfast, board a flight northward to the Lewa Conservancy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 65,000-acre wildlife conservation area is the home to 130 rare Black and White rhino populations, as well as Grevy’s zebra and Reticulated giraffe and long-necked Gerenuk, not found in the southern regions.

Day 05

Start the day with a morning safari, either by open vehicle or guided nature walk. Stop for breakfast in the bush and continue game viewing. Back at the lodge, you can meet with anti-poaching rangers to learn about their work. This afternoon offers more active options - from the afternoon traditional game drive to the horseback safari or camel-back experience where you can usually get quite close to the giraffe and zebra.

Day 06

Do not miss the early morning game drives- this is when the wildlife is most active. We also suggest a visit to the community project in the late afternoon. Meals always include some of the fresh produce that is grown on the property. Stop by to see what fresh ingredients will be used in tonight's dinner. Afternoon activity of your choice. Game viewing is included at all properties. Other activities included will vary at lodges, where you can choose your own adventures!

Day 07

Masai Mara

Your journey continues as you board a flight over the Great Rift Valley to the Maasai Mara. This is Kenya’s premier game reserve and the northern extension of the Serengeti Plains. Upon landing, you are met by your guide and head out on an afternoon game drive. In one sweep of the binoculars one can see elephant, giraffe, zebra, antelopes and Cape Buffalo.

Day 08

Masai Mara

Up at dawn as you are greeted with your choice of tea or coffee. Head out as the sun comes up on the golden plains. Search for lion, cheetah, hyena. You may also encounter hippo, warthogs, giraffe and an abundance of colorful bird life. Accommodations are all on conservancies, so vehicles are limited and off-road game drives supported. This will allow you to get much closer to the wildlife than in the crowded areas of the Mara.

Day 09

Masai Mara

With your camera ready, set out across the rolling golden grasslands for a full day in the bush with unlimited game drives and picnic lunch. All suggested properties are located on conservancies that adjoin the Mara and work in partnership with Maasai landowners. A highlight of your safari will be your interactions with the wonderful Maasai. You will be welcomed to the community to hear about their traditions and daily lives.

Day 10 - Your Journey Onwards

Bid a fond farewell to the bush and the friends you have made at camp as you take a short flight back to Nairobi. A dayroom has been provided for you to relax and pack before you are transferred to the airport to connect to your onwards international flight. Take with you the memories of a truly magical African experience.
