Beach to Bush - Kenya

Nairobi

Explore Nairobi. Situated in along the Nairobi River in beautiful Kenya, the capital of Nairobi is East Africa’s most cosmopolitan city. It serves as an excellent starting point for African safari trips around Kenya. Nairobi is Africa’s 4th largest city and is a vibrant and exciting place, and although it has developed a reputation which keeps tourist visits brief, there are some fascinating attractions: its cafe culture, unbridled nightlife, the National Museum, the Karen Blixen Museum and most notably just 20 minutes from the city centre wild lions and buffalo roam in the world’s only urban game reserve. Make sure you pay a visit to the elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Chyulu National Park

Depart Nairobi for Chyulu National Park. Sandwiched between the Tsavo West National Park and Amboseli National Park, the Chyulu Hills National Park protects an important water catchment area. This unique habitat features vast grass plains, forested rolling hills and rugged volcanic cones and craters set against the beautiful backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Visitors can look for to a wide selection of exciting activities including camping, mountain climbing, horse riding, and excellent bird watching. Commonly spotted wildlife include: elephant, bushbuck, eland, leopard, bush pig, reedbuck, buffalo and giraffe. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the longest lava tube in the world.

Horseback Riding Safari

Opt to partake in a horseback riding safari. Imagine Mount Kilimanjaro wrapped in a soft, purple light with the snow on top reflecting the first sun of the morning.  Listen to Africa as she wakes up at dawn.  Birds are singing, zebras are snorting, and the wind is whistling through the acacias. You are in the middle of it all, riding a horse through a herd of hartebeest. This magical experience will remain with you forever.

Yoga & Meditation

Be in tune with your body and soul in the bush today. Yoga in our Nature is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Come practice Yoga and Meditation in the cradle of human kind. Detach from everyday stresses and indulge in the wonders of the landscape. This practice is a true marriage of yoga and a traditional African Safari adventure. You practice in the morning and/or in the afternoon, without limiting your safari activities.

Masai Mara

Make your way to the iconic Masai Mara. The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomises Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large prides of lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential.

Scouting The Big 5

Enjoy a day filled with scouting the Big 5 in one of the world’s most abundant wildlife sites.

Guided Bush Walk

Opt to parkake in a guided bush walk. All walks are led by a professional guide and accompanied by a licensed gun bearer. Bush walks can start from camp or can be a part of a game drive. They give you the chance to view the unique ecosystem from a completely different perspective, and to learn about botany and entomology, and how to interpret animal tracks and signs. The walk can be as long or as short as you wish.
