Option 2 Kenya safari for the Creswell Family March 15th – 25th 2026 (Camping)
On arrival at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will receive a VIP meet and assist service, ensuring a smooth transition through arrivals. You will then meet your driver, who will take you to the Giraffe Manor. We are holding a double and triple room for you (Helen and Kelly).
A Giraffe Manor Driver driver will take you to the nearby Wilson airport to fly to Loisaba Conservancy the following day. Loisaba is one of our favourite locations; it has great wildlife, including rhinos, and is particularly good for leopards. Here, you will stay three nights at Loisaba Tented Camp.
From Loisaba, you will fly to Lewa Conservancy, where you will stay three nights at Sirikoi Lodge, which sits on land adjacent to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The Lodge overlooks a lush lawn and a busy waterhole, and it has a lovely vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen. There is a pool and good game drives. Sirikoi has full roaming rights on Lewa, an excellent location for seeing black and white rhinos, regular plains game, and predators. Some species you will see there are endemic to Northern Kenya, such as the Grevy's zebra and the reticulated giraffe. Sirikoi is among our favourite places to take guests. We are holding the two-bedroom cottage.
From Lewa, you will fly to the Masai Mara, where you will stay at the Lowis and Leakey private mobile camp. This camp would be built just for you and your family. We would position it in a relatively remote area of the Mara on the river. This is a wonderful experience, we feel it gives you the greatest feeling of connection to the wild.
On the last day, you will fly back to Nairobi. We can arrange day rooms if your flight departs late at night, allowing you to relax and freshen up before your journey home.
