Elewana Luxury 8 Day Kenya Sky Safari

Day 1

You will be met in arrivals by the safari representative and fast tracked through customs and immigration to get you to your transfer vehicle in rapid time.  Transfer to you overnight hotel. Dinner and breakfast the following morning are included.

Overnight: Hemmingways, Nairobi, Half Board

Day 2

After breakfast, take a short transfer to Wilson Airport.  Board your executive SkySafari aircraft for your flight to Meru – around a one hour flight.  You will catch your first glimpse of wildlife close up as you board your safari vehicle for the short drive from the airstrip to your lodge.  Enjoy lunch outside by the pool and relax.  Late afternoon head out for your first full game drive.  You will be back at sunset ready for a delicious evening meal.

Overnight: Elewana Elsa’s Kopje, Meru, Full Board with drinks

Day 3

You will spend the whole day in the unspoilt remoteness of the Meru National Park today.  The park is well known for being the setting of Joy Adamsons book Born Free and of course the most prominent animal Elsa the lioness – no coincidence for the naming of your lodge.  An early start gets you exploring the park for your morning game drive and the excitement of a bush breakfast.  After returning to the lodge for lunch, you will be back out for your afternoon game drive.  Visit the Rhino Sanctuary within the park where through the scrub you will see the wonders of both the Black and White Rhino.

Overnight: Elewana Elsa’s Kopje, Meru, Full Board with drinks

Day 4

Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the lodge before taking and escorted hike then transfer to the airstrip for your second luxury SkySafari flight.  This time it is just a short flight to the Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia County.  You will be met from the plane and enjoy your first game drive of the conservancy on route to your camp.  Relax and have lunch with the spectacular views of the plains below the escarpment the camp is perched on. Take an afternoon game drive with a sundowner before returning to camp for dinner.

Overnight: Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp, Laikipia, Full Board with drinks

Day 5

You will have the whole day to enjoy this very special 57,000 acre conservancy brimming with wildlife.  Take your choice of activity from a vehicle based game drive, guided camelback or horseback safari or for those wanting to burn off some energy try a guided mountain bike or hike.  Meet up for a bush breakfast and then back to camp for a well deserved spa treatment.  After lunch at the camp, you can choose any one of these activities again for the afternoon.

Overnight: Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp, Laikipia, Full Board with drinks

Day 6

A sumptuous breakfast will set you up for the day heading back to the airstrip for your SkySafari flight to the Masai Mara, taking around an hour and a half.  Spot the impressive wildlife on route to your camp, lunch and relax before taking an afternoon game drive.  Back to camp for dinner and overnight.

Overnight: Elewana Sand River Camp, Masai Mara, Full Board with drinks

Day 7

This is the perfect day for a Balloon Safari.  We highly recommend this experience and if this is for you, we can easily add this to your itinerary.  If you choose this option you will have a very early start to get you to your balloon flight and your breakfast will be in the bush after landing.  You can then enjoy your vehicle safari.

If you do not choose this option you will take breakfast at camp then head out for a full day of game viewing with pic nic lunch packed.  You will have an action packed day of game viewing in the most fantastic park in Kenya.  The best is truly left until last.  The Masai Mara is home to many big cats so you will be able to see Lions and most likely Cheetah and possibly Leopard.

Dinner will be back at the camp under the stars where you can exchange stories of your fabulous week on safari.

Day 8

Breakfast at camp before transferring to the airstrip for your last luxurious SkySafari flight back to Nairobi Wilson.  Flight time is around an hour.  If you are taking an international flight early in the evening, you will be transferred to Nairobi Airport and have the use of a day room at the Four Points by Sheraton until your departure. 

We hope this is not the end of your adventure and can tailor and onward journey from here.
