Kenya at its very best, guided by a Private Guide. Eleven days, four exceptional properties and a journey that moves from Nairobi through the wild highlands of Laikipia, into the rhino heartland of Lewa and on to the endless plains of the Maasai Mara..
Experience Kenya at its most extraordinary.
This 11-day private safari is designed for travellers who want more than simply seeing Kenya — they want to feel it, discover it, and experience it in complete comfort and privacy.
Journey from the vibrant energy of Nairobi into the wild landscapes of Laikipia, Lewa and the Maasai Mara, travelling with your own private safari guide and enjoying some of Kenya’s most exceptional camps and conservation areas along the way.
July is an extraordinary time to be in Kenya. The Great Migration is unfolding across the Maasai Mara, while Laikipia and Lewa offer a very different kind of safari — vast landscapes, remarkable wildlife, intimate encounters and some of Kenya’s finest conservation experiences.
From tracking rhino in Lewa and exploring the wilderness of Laikipia to witnessing the drama of the Mara, every day brings a new perspective on Kenya.
And because this is a private safari for just two guests, the journey moves at your pace. There is no fixed group schedule — only your guide, your vehicle and the freedom to spend more time wherever the wilderness captures your attention.
This is Kenya, privately experienced.
11 days. Three extraordinary wilderness regions. One unforgettable journey.
On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, your private guide will meet you and transfer you by private vehicle to Emara Ole-Sereni. Positioned on the boundary of Nairobi National Park, this striking five-star hotel offers panoramic views over the park and city skyline, a rooftop Sky Lounge and an infinity pool, the perfect opening night to your Kenyan adventure.
After breakfast, your guide transfers you to Wilson Airport for a scheduled shared flight north into Laikipia. On arrival, a road transfer brings you up to Ol Lentille's dramatic escarpment position. Settle into your private villa and enjoy an afternoon game drive across the 40,000-acre conservancy.
A full day to explore Ol Lentille at your own pace. Morning game drives reveal elephants, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and more across one of Kenya's last unfenced wildernesses. In the afternoon, join your Maasai guide on a walking safari or visit a local community project u2014 the connections here go far beyond wildlife.
Explore further afield today u2014 a camel safari along the dry riverbed, mountain biking across the highland plateau or a visit to the ancient Singing Wells. As evening falls, an authentic dinner at a neighbouring Maasai manyatta offers a rare and genuinely moving window into life on the conservancy.
A private charter flight from Ol Lentille to Lewa Downs Airstrip, where the Kifaru House team will be waiting to game drive you the short distance to the lodge. Perched at 5,600 feet within the UNESCO-listed Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, the five thatched cottages of Kifaru are an immediately warm and personal arrival.
Lewa is one of Africa's great rhino sanctuaries and a morning in search of both black and white rhino across the conservancy's vast grasslands and acacia woodland is a highlight of any stay. Back at the lodge, relax by the heated infinity pool with views stretching towards Mount Kenya u2014 unhurried luxury at its best.
Spend the morning searching for the Northern Five; reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and Beisa oryx, found in very few places outside this region. As Lewa is a private conservancy, night drives are available and reveal an entirely different side of the African bush after dark.
A scheduled shared flight to Musiara Airstrip, where a short game drive through prime Mara wildlife country brings you to Tangulia, the only 100% Maasai-owned luxury camp in the entire reserve. Settle in, take in the views over the Mara River and head out for your first afternoon drive across the legendary Musiara Marsh.
Wake at dawn and head out into the Mara for peak game viewing u2014 the reserve is home to one of the highest concentrations of big cats in Africa. Tangulia's Maasai guides bring an unmatched depth of local knowledge to every drive, and the camp's private land gives extra flexibility to get off the beaten track.

End the day with sundowners above the Mara River as the plains turn gold.
A final dawn game drive and breakfast in camp before transferring to Musiara Airstrip for a scheduled shared flight back to Wilson Airport. Your private guide will be waiting to transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward flight home.
