Begin the adventure in the lovely Mount Kenya Safari Club on the slopes of majestic Mount Kenya. This private club is justly famous for its refinement and glamorous Hollywood history, considered one of the safari “musts” of East Africa. Fine dining, exquisitely manicured grounds and gracious hospitality are hallmarks of a stay at the club.
Ol Pejeta Sweetwaters Conservancy is 70,000-acre private ranch with magnificent views across the plains to the snow capped peaks of Mount Kenya. This game sanctuary is the closest reserve to Mt. Kenya Safari Club home to all the big five game, and has the highest ratio of game-to-area of any park or reserve in Kenya. Sweetwaters Serena Tented Camp has a very popular waterhole that is floodlit by night, providing excellent and secluded rarely seen game viewing.
Lake Nakuru National Park is dominated by a gentle undulating terrain with open bush and woodlands, typical of the dry rift valley vegetation. Twenty seven percent (27%) of the park is composed of the Lake Nakuru waters. The park was declared a rhino sanctuary in 1983. The Rhino stocking programme which ensued received white rhinos from South Africa. Currently the sanctuary has approximately 45 black and 31 white rhinoceros.
The Masai Mara is Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled. The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another.
