Day By Day Itinerary

  • Day 1: Nairobi to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy – Wings Over the Wild (Flight time: approx. 1hr 30min)

    Start your safari adventure with a serene morning in Nairobi followed by a hearty breakfast. You’ll then be transferred to Wilson Airport to board your scheduled bush flight into the untamed beauty of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Your aircraft lifts off at 10:20 AM, gliding over the African landscape to touch down around 11:20 AM.

    Upon landing, your safari guide will welcome you and begin your first game viewing experience en route to Lewa House, your lodge nestled in the wilderness. After check-in and a delicious lunch, take time to relax before heading out on your first afternoon game drive, chasing golden-hour sightings until sunset over the savannah.

  • Day 2: Immersive Safari in Lewa Conservancy

    Set off before sunrise for an early morning game drive, a prime time to catch predators returning from their nightly hunts. Afterward, return for a bush breakfast.

    Later in the day, embark on an extended half-day safari across Lewa’s rugged terrain, renowned for its exceptional conservation efforts. This Big Five sanctuary is a haven for endangered species like the black rhino and the Grevy’s zebra—the largest population in the world resides here. The conservancy also protects ancient forest canopies in Ngare Ndare, home to elusive nocturnal animals such as aardvarks, bush babies, and caracals.

    In the afternoon, enjoy a guided nature walk with a local tracker and unwind with the lodge’s amenities—whether it’s storytelling by the firepit or a sundowner with sweeping views of the northern frontier.

  • Day 3: Lewa to Masai Mara – From Highlands to Iconic Plains (Flight time: approx. 1hr 25min)

    Greet the dawn with one last morning safari in Lewa. After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight into the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s crown jewel of safari experiences.

    Upon landing, your driver-guide will meet you for a scenic game drive transfer to your safari camp. Check-in, indulge in lunch, and soak up the atmosphere before venturing out on a classic afternoon game drive, where lion prides and wildebeest herds await beneath the acacia trees.

  • Day 4: Full-Day Safari Adventure in the Masai Mara

    Head out at first light for an early morning game drive, then return to camp for breakfast. The day unfolds with an epic full-day game drive, revealing the rich tapestry of life on the Mara’s open plains.

    Keep your binoculars ready for encounters with the Big Five—elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino—as well as massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes. The Masai Mara is a live-action nature documentary, where drama plays out across the golden grasses.

    In the afternoon, take a break from game driving to visit a traditional Maasai village, where you’ll learn about ancient customs, beadwork, and perhaps join in a spirited dance.

    Return to camp in time to enjoy the sunset and share stories by the fire.

  • Day 5: Masai Mara to Nairobi – Farewell to the Wild (Flight time: approx. 45min–1hr)

    Rise early for one last dawn safari, bidding farewell to the roaming wildlife that made your journey unforgettable. After a final breakfast at camp, relax before your transfer to the airstrip.

    Take to the skies once more as your bush plane returns you to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Upon arrival, you’ll be met and transferred either to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey or to your Nairobi hotel.
