Search for leopard amid the riverine forest’s branches, basking in the dappled sunlight.
Then at last to Lake Victoria, one of Africa’s major lakes. Stay on a private island; home for the secretive sitatunga antelope and a haven for endangered chimps.

Rest comfortably in your opulent Kenya safari lodging.
Day 2: Rhinos and Other Endangered Animals
Get up early to see the new day break, go on a wildlife drive and search for some of the 100 black rhino in the twisted acacia bush, or the uncommon Grevy’s zebra on the scrubby grassy plains. Here as well may be the large five. Importantly, the wild animals live and graze alongside the world’s largest herd of Boran cattle, pioneering a mutually beneficial land management system, providing you a distinct and varied safari experience.
Day 3: Bush Walks and Night Drives
On an early morning guided bush walk, approach the bush and its fauna closely. Discover the birds, environment, insects and read the wildlife trails to spot the various spoor.

Alternatively, you may go on an optional trip to spend time with the conservancy experts studying and monitoring the lions living there.

Day 4: Masai Mara National Reserve – Kenya
After breakfast today, you will take your last game drive on Laikipia heading to the airfield and then fly to the Masai Mara. Your guide will greet you and transport you to your luxury camp set above the Talek River, a perfect location for the major migration river crossings, upon arrival. The camp’s panoramic views across the plains help to support great densities and variety of African animals. For year-round game viewing, the famous Masai Mara is excellent.
