GIRAFFE MANOR Situated in one of Nairobi’s most beautiful suburbs (Langata), Giraffe Manor is placed on 140 acres of pristine sanctuary land. The Manor has a mere six bedrooms all of which are ensuite and one of which is suitable for children. Being built in the 1930’s The Manors interiors decor reflects the fashion of the day, creating accommodation that is both varied and stylish. Room configurations are: Master bedroom – double. Giraffe Room – twin. Morning room – twin. Middle room – double. Children of all ages are welcome at Giraffe Manor, although it should be remembered that the atmosphere is very much that of a private house party, and children should be kept under control. Giraffe Manor has built a reputation for excellent cuisine, and this trademark of service continues. Meals are taken in the wood panelled dining room, with great ceremony.

SASAAB is a safari destination with a difference. Located in the harsh but beautiful lands of northern Kenya, where temperatures are warm, the lodge is designed on strong Moroccan principles making it Kenya’s most stylish safari lodge. Sasaab comprises 9 luxurious suites which are spacious and designed to act as a private sanctuary. Each with plunge pool and a chill out space (either a verandah or mini-garden), and large open air bathrooms, every room is intensely private. Meals are offered in various areas around the lodge, and private dining on guests’ verandah or by the pool is offered on request. The finest Kenyan produce is combined with the Moroccan theme that runs throughout Sasaab, to create a thrilling fusion of flavours. Children of all ages are welcome at Sasaab. 

SALA'S CAMP is located in the southern Sector of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, on the confluence of the Sand and Keekorok Rivers just a few kilometres north of the Tanzanian border. The Camp itself is a seasonal tented camp, open for seven months of the year and boasting a unique position looking over the Sand river towards Tanzania, and the ‘Northern Corridor’ where nearly 2 million wildebeest migrate annually from Tanzania into Kenya, and then back again. Sala’s Camp offers seven en-suite tents, each of which is designed to offer the height of luxury on safari under canvas. Each tent has hot showers and a flushing toilets as well as a huge driftwood bed with ultra comfy mattress and linens. Whilst comfort is the first concern, Sala’s Camp retains the traditional simplicity of the pioneering days. Children of all ages are welcome, although it should be remembered that the camp is entirely open and not fenced off, so children should be kept a close eye on.

1 NIGHT: GIRAFFE MANOR

DAY 2 Enjoy an early morning breakfast in the company of the endangered Rothschild Giraffes and transfer to Wilson Airport. Connect with one of the twice daily flights between Wilson Airport and Nanyuki. Guests are collected from Nanyuki airstrip and transferred by road to Solio Lodge (20 minute drive)

2 NIGHTS: SOLIO LODGE

DAY 3 Enjoy the privacy and vastness that Solio Ranch has to offer. Take a morning walk or horseback safari to experience wildlife and nature one on one, followed by an afternoon and / or night 4x4 safari. Once evening, enjoy a sundowner walk, perhaps after a helicopter safari for breathtaking views around the area or after a day fishing in the Aberdare mountains. Please note that the helicopter safari must be pre-booked and is at an additional cost.

DAY 4 Early breakfast advised to allow guests to transfer to Nanyuki to catch the Safarilink flight en-route to Samburu from Nairobi. It is a small difference in rate, but a huge difference in timing. The scheduled flight lands at Buffalo Springs which is a good 3 hours road transfer to Sasaab. While a private charter lands at the Sasaab trip with a 10 minute road transfer. Arrive at Sasaab mid afternoon

3 NIGHTS: SASAAB

DAY 5 & 6 Guests can participate on morning and afternoon game drives on open vehicles where a wide variety of game can be seen. Samburu is the home of the ‘Samburu Special Five’, which includes the Beisa Oryx, Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Gerenuk & Somali Ostrich. Abundant birdlife and fauna along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro offer great game viewing either by foot, vehicle or on a camel. For one night why not go fly camping into the far reaching areas of the conservancy? New for 2011 it promises to be spectacular. All day game drives or half day game drives can be arranged with a delicious picnic to enjoy in the middle of the bush. Sasaab’s position high on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro means that it is the perfect place to sit and watch game. Elephants frequently come to the opposite bank. Other activities to enjoy include: guided walks, bird watching, star gazing, swimming pool and the gem that is SpaSaab overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River to work away stresses of everyday life. Sasaab is very closely linked to the local Samburu tribes and it is highly recommended to go on a cultural trip to the local village to meet and understand the welcoming and hard working Samburu way of life.

DAY 7 Depart Sasaab early for a game drive and bush breakfast en-route to Buffalo Spring airstrip. Connect with the schedule charter flights from Safarilink to the Masai Mara.

On arrival at Keekorak Airstrip, guests are met by a guide from Sala’s Camp and enjoy a game drive through the Mara to Sala’s arriving in time for lunch.

3 NIGHTS: SALA’S CAMP

DAY 8 & 9 Activities are entirely up to guests themselves, but in this area of prolific big five wildlife sighting, early game drives are recommended to witness predators seeking out their prey, and late afternoon drives when the light is at its softest. During the world-famous annual Migration of wildebeest which takes place annually from July – September, guests may opt for a full day game drive to a crossing point, taking a picnic lunch with them. Sala’s location on the confluence of the Sand and Keekorok rivers mean that it is a true haven for birdlife. Star gazing is outstanding in this area of clear skies.

DAY 10 After a hearty breakfast guests will be transferred to Keekerok airstrip to catch the Safarilink flight back to Nairobi.

A road transfer will then take the guests from Wilson Airport (regional flights) to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (international flights). Allow an hour transfer time between the two airports.
