About this journey
Three of Kenya's most celebrated destinations, seamlessly connected. Beginning at the legendary Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, this journey travels north into the wild, sun-baked landscapes of Samburu before finishing in the Masai Mara ; Kenya's greatest wildlife arena. Eight days, three extraordinary properties, and a lifetime of memories.
Kenya has a way of getting under your skin. This journey opens at one of the world's most iconic and sought-after addresses, The Giraffe Manor, where endangered Nubian giraffe wander freely through the grounds of a century-old manor house and peer through the windows at breakfast. There are fewer than a dozen rooms and demand for them is extraordinary. Due to this limited availability, we recommend booking this journey up to two years in advance to secure your preferred dates.
From Nairobi, the journey moves north into the warm, dramatic terrain of Samburu's Northern Frontier District ,wilder and less visited than Kenya's more famous reserves, before the vast golden grasslands of the Masai Mara deliver the safari experience in its purest, most elemental form. Intimate properties, expert guiding and seamless connections throughout, this is Kenya, done properly.
