Nairobi National Park: Visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi National Park and watch orphaned elephants arrive for their midday milk feed and mud bath. As each elephant is introduced, you’ll hear its story and see one of Nairobi’s best-known wildlife conservation visits at close range.
Ol Pejeta: Head into Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the late afternoon, when the softer light shifts across the plains and wildlife begins to stir. Your game drive follows the rhythms of the landscape, from acacia woodland to open grassland, before pausing for a sundowner in the bush, with time to take in the wide views and stillness of the conservancy.
Ol Pejeta: Visit Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where chimpanzees can be seen. Opened in 1993, it provides refuge for chimpanzees rescued from the illegal wildlife trade and reveals another side of Ol Pejeta’s conservation work, where long-term care, rehabilitation and protection remain at the centre of the sanctuary’s mission.
Lake Naivasha: Head out onto Lake Naivasha by boat, where calm freshwater, rich birdlife and resident hippos shape one of the Rift Valley’s most distinctive wildlife experiences. Watch the lake at close range as fish eagles circle overhead and hippos surface through the water, revealing a side of Kenya that feels very different from the open plains of safari.
Maasai Mara National Reserve: Head into the Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive across wide grasslands and riverine forest shaped by the Mara River. As the light begins to soften, this celebrated reserve reveals the scale and richness of one of Africa’s great wildlife landscapes, with the chance to look out for big cats, plains game and the Big Five.
Maasai Mara National Reserve: Head out across the Maasai Mara on game drive, where wide grasslands, riverine forest and the Mara River shape one of Kenya’s best-known wildlife reserves. As you explore, look out for the Big Five and the rich concentration of species that makes the Mara such an important part of the country’s safari story.
Arusha: Explore the hotel’s coffee plantation in Arusha and learn more about the crop that has long shaped life in northern Tanzania. As you walk through the estate, you’ll see how coffee is grown on the fertile slopes below Mount Meru and gain a closer understanding of the region’s agricultural traditions.
Tarangire National Park: Explore Tarangire in the late afternoon, when the savannah begins to change with the falling light and wildlife moves through the bush in the cooler hours. As the sun lowers, stop for a sundowner in the wilderness and watch the day shift across one of northern Tanzania’s most celebrated safari landscapes.
Lake Eyasi: Meet the Datoga, a pastoral community of the Lake Eyasi region known for cattle keeping and blacksmithing. Learn more about the metalworking traditions for which the Datoga are well known, and how these long-established skills continue to shape daily life in this part of northern Tanzania.
Ngorongoro Crater: Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive across the world’s largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. Year-round water and grazing draw wildlife onto the crater floor, making this one of Tanzania’s most concentrated and rewarding safari settings.
Serengeti: Spend time on game drive in Serengeti National Park, where open plains, kopjes and river lines support one of Africa’s richest wildlife ecosystems. Look out for lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra and antelope as you continue exploring a landscape shaped by movement, season and the constant search for water and grazing.
Serengeti: Board your flight from the Serengeti to Arusha, leaving from one of the safari circuit’s remote airstrips and rising above the plains as you depart the park.
