Do you fancy yourself shooting photos of giraffe, rhino and elephant rather than decking the halls with boughs of holly? Then join us in Kenya where we spend Christmas with nature and the beauty of Africa. Our luxury safari includes three distinct and important areas of Kenya: Amboselli, Samburu and the Maasai Mara. Kenya is where the safari began and it continues to please every time. Spend New Year’s with the gorillas on an exciting gorilla trek in Uganda. No better way to ring in the New Year!
Depart the USA on any regularly scheduled flight to Nairobi, Kenya.
Evening arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport located in the capital city, Nairobi.
Hotel check-out after breakfast before meeting with your designated driver-guide for the drive southwards to Amboseli National Park (app 4-1/2 hours).
Full day exploring the very scenic and famous Amboseli National Park by undertaking morning and afternoon game viewing drives.
Transfer to the airstrip after breakfast for the scheduled 08h15/08h50 flight to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to connect with the 09h15/11h10 flight to Samburu National Reserve.
Full day is spent exploring Samburu by undertaking morning and afternoon (02) game viewing drives.
Arise early for the chance to see the wildlife starting their day with a game drive en route to the airstrip for the 10h05/12h35 scheduled flight to Maasai Mara. Depending on the passenger load, these flights are operated on 10 to 48-seater aircrafts which operate on very strict luggage allowances. The allowed weight is 15 kilos per person in soft bags inclusive of hand luggage and cameras. Excess luggage is carried at the sole discretion of the aircraft’s captain, if the payload of the aircraft/space permits and is charged at a freight rate, currently at approximately 3 US$ per kilo. If you anticipate having extra luggage you book a “freight” seat at child fare which allows for carriage of an extra 75kg.
Day spent exploring the Mara by undertaking morning and afternoon game viewing drives. During the migration period, the norm is to combine these 2 game drives in order to have a longer game drive. This means departing from the camp after an early breakfast and returning towards sunset, allowing for more time to follow the migrating herds with a hope of seeing a crossing or two.
After breakfast, bid ‘bye to camp staff before the transfer to the airport for the scheduled 08h45/10h15 (or 11h00/12h15) flight to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport.
