Kenya
11 days / 9 nights
January and February, June to October
SAMBURU
After a striking first stop at the foot of Mount Kenya, your guide leads you north into Samburu, a well-preserved reserve where a river lined with acacias sets off the red earth landscape to striking effect. Wildlife here is remarkably varied: antelope, giraffe, lions, mongooses, oryx and, of course, elephants, often coated in a thin layer of mud from the river, their favourite spot to cool off.
A 2-night stay in what we consider one of Kenya’s finest regions.

LAIKIPIA, OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY
Onward to the highlands of Laikipia, and more specifically the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where endless plains contrast with Mount Kenya rising in the background. This conservancy shelters a remarkably dense wildlife population, including the “big five”, and offers a genuine refuge to the many species living there.
A 2-night stay where you may have the chance to encounter one of its rarest residents: the black rhinoceros, an endangered species.
LAKE NAKURU
On the way to the Masai Mara, you will spend one night near Lake Nakuru.
A sunset safari in this natural amphitheatre, with its thousands of flamingos.
A cinematic scene best experienced at the finest moment of the day.
Around Lake Nakuru, within the magnificent national park, you may also observe buffalo, hyenas, rhinoceros and lions.
MASAI MARA
This vast savannah landscape, the one we have pictured since childhood, now stretches out before you. Take in the striking contrast between arid savannah and lush vegetation.
A genuine combination of landscapes, cut through by the course of the famous Mara River, where your safaris will yield rich discoveries.
Your private French-speaking guide will share his knowledge and passion, giving you an experience fully in step with the natural world.
During the migration season, between August and October, you may see large numbers of wildebeest and zebra — with predators never far behind.
After three nights in the Masai Mara, you will return to Nairobi by road.
If your budget allows, an internal flight will save you time and allow for an additional safari.
