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.

The next morning a Giraffe Manor driver will take you to the nearby Wilson airport to fly to the Mara with Ninian where you will stay in our mobile camp for three nights.

From the Mara, you will fly to Nanyuki Airfield. This is where you will meet a helicopter to explore further north. This will be an incredible adventure with one night way up North near Lake Turkana. You will stop the chopper often to jump out and explore or hike.

The following day the helicopter will drop you off at Lewa Conservancy where you will stay three nights at Sirikoi Lodge. The Lodge overlooks a lush lawn and a busy waterhole, 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 for your family.

On the 27th you will fly from Lewa to Kigali with Ninian using a PC12 stopping in Kisumu for customs and immigration.

On the 30th you will be driven back to Kigali to connect with a schedule air service from Kigali International airport to Mwanza and then on to the Southern Serengeti where you will stay at Songa Migration camp. The hope is to catch the migration.

On the last day, you will fly by private charter 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.
