Loisaba bestrides the border of Laikipia and Kenya’s rugged Northern Frontier District. Only a few miles from the equator, this private game ranch on 60,000 acres is in a wilderness of remote beauty where the farm management and local Laikipiak Maasai & Samburu community work together to preserve the environment and abundant surrounding wildlife. After lunch it’s time to relax with the remainder of the day spent on a game drive, walking safari or enjoying any of the other activities offered.

Overnight: Loisaba
Meal plan:  Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Day 5: Laikipia
Loisaba is made for adventure: guests enjoy complete freedom to choose how they spend their time … the only barrier is your own imagination. Trek through the bush with camels, mountain bike down the escarpment, raft the Ewaso Nyiro, horseback ride or drive through the wild canyons of the two great rivers that span this vast area. Or rock-climb the soaring pinnacles thrusting up from the valley floor or just play a little tennis and lie by the pool. The view from Loisaba extends hundreds of miles – to Mount Kenya, the Loldaiga Hills and the Mathews Range. Through Loisaba roam Elephant, Lion and Leopard alongside the endemic northern species that thrive there – Gerenuk, Grevy’s Zebra and Reticulated Giraffe. The Star Beds on raised platforms provide blissful sleep under the vast African sky with only the stars and sky for a ceiling. Even the spa – where pampering is unrivalled – is sensitively constructed and set apart from the other buildings, so that the eternal drama of the bush unfolds before your eyes.

Overnight: Loisaba
Meal plan:  Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast time to relax. Transfer to the airstrip to catch the 11:50 SafariLink flight to the Maasai Mara. Your driver / guide will meet you at the airstrip and transfer you to Saruni with game viewing enroute. Deep in the forest or by the river Mara overlooking a "hippo beach", a nicely decorated table is waiting for lunch, providing you with the thrilling experience of a gourmet meal in the middle of nature. Relax and soak up the sights and sounds of the bush in the world’s most spectacular wildlife region. After lunch and a siesta take a late afternoon game drive or an accompanied walk with the professional guides.

Day 7: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
The daily ritual of game tracking on foot or from a vehicle is addictive. The light here is superb and the views are stunning. Spend your days exploring the wilderness, watching and listening. Bush breakfast, sundowners and evenings by the campfire after dinner, lit by soft lanterns, make this a magical experience. Especially for bush dinner or bush lunch, they love to take you to their "secret spots" where you never meet another vehicle. It is the Maasai Mara as the first hunters and explorers saw it.

Nightstop: Saruni
Meal plan:  Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Day 8: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
The Maasai Mara defies description: undoubtedly the spectacular migration of Wildebeest and Zebra searching for lush grazing following the rains, stalked by the omnipresent predators, is one of the world’s greatest wildlife marvels. But the migration is by no means the only feature – this fascinating eco-system is home to enormous herds of plains game, the Big Cats and Elephant as well as colourful birds, small game, riverine wildlife and stunning scenery.

Nightstop: Saruni
Meal plan:  Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Day 9: Maasai Mara Game Reserve - Nairobi
After a last game drive in the Maasai Mara you will connect with the 1100 hrs SafariLink flight back to Nairobi. A driver from Furstenberg Safaris will transfer you to your Nairobi Hotel or to the International Airport for your journey home.
