This 9-day Fly in Safari is ideal for couples and honeymooners who want to experience the thrills of an African safari. Offering some of the best game viewing anywhere in Africa, this itinerary combines the superb Lewa Conservancy in Laikipia, Northern Kenya with the outstanding Mara Naboisho Conservancy situated on in the far north of the Masai Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.
Your tour kicks off in the capital for an overnight at Hemingways Nairobi, before heading off into the wilderness. This is a refined contemporary hotel in Nairobi’s tranquil and upscale neighborhood of Karen. It offers a regal and elegant atmosphere, as well as a superb spa and wellness centre. If there is time, fit in a visit to the nearby Elephant Sanctuary and Giraffe Centre, or just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this famous hotel as you relax after your journey.
Next stop is the high plains of Laikipia’s Lewa Conservancy staying at Lewa Wilderness This is the family home of Will and Emma Craig and is situated on a steep hill on the eastern corner of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The Lodge has beautifully designed cottages perfect for true safari lovers who really want to immerse themselves in a very special part of Kenya.
In addition to unforgettable game drives, fly-camping and guided walks, Lewa Wilderness Lodge also offers tennis, horse riding, camel trekking and even soaring flights in a vintage biplane. Visit at an extra cost the lovely Ngare Ndare waterfalls, go on an inspiring and humbling visit to Il’ Ngwesi village, and join the anti-poaching dogs to understand their crucial role in protecting Kenya’s rhino stronghold.
From here, your journey proceeds to the relatively little-visited Mara Naboisho Conservancy, just north of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Mara Naboisho Conservancy offers a high density of wildlife and a low density of other tourists, making for a truly memorable safari away from the crowds. Naboisho Camp is a stylishly authentic and intimate safari camp. It is one of the most upmarket of the handful of small, unfenced camps in the conservancy. It has nine spacious tents, each with king-sized or twin beds, indoor and outdoor hot-water showers, and a flushing toilet. Each tent has a daybed, an inviting spot for an afternoon snooze in between game drives.
By staying at both Lewa Wilderness or Nabosiho Camp, you also contribute directly to the conservation of the surrounding area, helping both wildlife and local communities to prosper.
