Highlights
Front-row seats to the Mara River’s chaotic crossings—wildebeest vs. crocodiles, up close.
A sunrise balloon ride over the Migration’s endless herds, landing for a bubbly bush breakfast.
Tented camps so luxe, you’ll forget you’re in the wild—think butlers, hot tubs, and savannah lullabies.
Day 1: Nairobi’s Warm Welcome
Touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and let the adventure begin. A sleek private transfer whisks you to Hemingways Nairobi, a chic hideaway in Karen where the Ngong Hills wink at you from your terrace. Sip a gin and tonic as the sun melts away, then savor a farm-fresh dinner—quiet luxury to kick off your wild ride.
Day 2: Elephants, Giraffes, and Nairobi’s Soul
Rise with the birds, then head to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Baby elephants splash mud at your feet—adorable chaos with a purpose. Next, the Giraffe Centre—feed a Rothschild giraffe, their long lashes brushing your hand. Lunch at Cultiva is a burst of local flavor, and dinner at Talisman unfolds in a jasmine-scented garden. It’s Nairobi’s wild heart, served with a side of spice.
Day 3: Masai Mara’s Call of the Wild
Board a private charter from Wilson Airport, and soar over Kenya’s patchwork plains to the Masai Mara. Mara Bushtops greets you—canvas tents with hot tubs and views that stretch forever. Your butler hands you a chilled towel as you settle in, then it’s off on your first game drive. Wild animals dot the horizon, a teaser of the drama ahead. Sundowners seal the day—cheers to the wild!
Day 4: Migration Madness Unleashed
Dawn cracks open with a game drive to the Mara River. Your private 4×4 hums through the mist, landing you at the crossing’s edge. Wildebeest bellow, hooves thunder, and crocodiles lunge—it’s raw, primal, and all yours. Back at camp, a bush breakfast under an acacia tree—fresh croissants and coffee as zebras graze nearby. Evening brings a firepit, Maasai tales, and stars so bright they hum.
Day 5: Soaring Over the Savanna
Wake before the sun for a hot air balloon safari. You drift above the Mara, the Migration a living tapestry below—millions of hooves kicking up dust. Touch down for a champagne breakfast in the wild, linen tables swaying in the breeze. Afternoon’s yours—laze in your plunge pool or stroll with a Maasai warrior, tracking secrets in the dirt. Dinner’s a starlit feast, the chef’s magic mingling with the night’s chorus.
Day 6: Serengeti’s Untamed Welcome
A quick flight via Tarime sweeps you to the Northern Serengeti, where Roving Bushtops waits—a mobile camp that dances with the Migration. Canvas suites hug the plains, your butler ready with a smile. An afternoon game drive dives into golden grasslands—zebras stripe the distance, a lion’s roar ripples through. Sundowners atop a kopje taste like freedom, the Serengeti sprawling endless below.
Day 7: River Crossings, Round Two
Dawn’s game drive races to the Serengeti’s Mara River. Wildebeest leap in desperate arcs, water frothing with survival—your guide’s eagle eyes keep you in the thick of it. A picnic lunch unfolds by the riverbank, shaded by fever trees, then it’s predator time—lions stalk, cheetahs prowl. Night falls with a private dinner under a baobab, lanterns flickering as the wild whispers goodnight.
Day 8: Serengeti’s Grand Goodbye
One last morning drive—maybe a leopard in a tree or the Migration’s stragglers, your guide tailoring it to your whims. Midday, a massage on your deck, the savanna’s hum your soundtrack. Evening’s a bush banquet—white-draped tables, a roaring fire, and a Maasai elder spinning tales of the land. It’s a farewell that lingers, wild and soulful.
Day 9: Homeward with a Wild Keepsake
A private flight lifts you from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro International Airport, the plains fading as you sip your last coffee. You leave with a gift—a framed river-crossing shot by Robin, his lens capturing the wild’s heartbeat. Your East African story’s just begun.
