What's this trip about?

    Covering three contrasting regions of Kenya – two in the north and one in the southwest – this unforgettable 12-night safari starts with three days at the world-famous Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, north of Mount Kenya, where you can ride as well as walk and do game drives and where you have a good chance of seeing black rhinos as well as all the other "Big Five". You then travel further north to the spectacular community lands of Lekurruki Group Ranch before flying south through the highlands and across the Great Rift Valley to the wildlife-rich plains of the Maasai Mara. Here you’ll have a four-day stay in the favoured hunting grounds of lions in the Mara North Conservancy.

Accommodation

Lewa Wilderness

Lewa Wilderness (sometimes known as Lewa Wilderness Trails or Wilderness Trails Lodge) is set on a hillside looking out over the Western Marania Valley and spring below. Started as a tented camp by the Craig family 30 years ago, it is now a comfortable, eight-room lodge offering access to the great game of the Lewa Conservancy.

Tassia Lodge

Tassia Lodge is a unique, natural and rustic lodge, quite unlike any others in the area. Set on a rocky outcrop on the edge of an escarpment in the 243km² Lekurruki Community Ranch, Tassia is a partnership between its managers and the local Mokogodo Maasai community.

Offbeat Mara

Located in the quiet Mara North Conservancy, Offbeat Mara sits near the Olare Orok River and is nestled into the bush so discreetly that you can barely see it once you are outside of camp. It’s small, comfortable and unfenced: an authentic tented camp. The Offbeat lion pride are regularly seen and heard around the camp.

Travel Insurance

It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
