Fly-in safari in Kenya: Laikipia, Samburu and Masai Mara

SOLIO GAME RESERVE
On arrival in Nairobi, a light aircraft flight will take you to your first stop: Solio Lodge, where you will stay 2 nights, nestled in the valley separating the Aberdare mountain range from Mount Kenya National Park.
Solio Lodge is the only lodge in the Solio Game Reserve, internationally recognised as one of the most successful private rhino sanctuaries in East Africa.

The Aberdares form a forested massif that marks, at this point, the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley. Mountain elephants, rhinoceros, kobs, buffalo, lions, leopards and the rare colobus monkeys all make an appearance.
Across the valley, with its jagged peaks, Mount Kenya rises to offer one of Kenya’s most striking landscapes.
Here too, flora and fauna distinct from the rest of Kenya will leave their mark.

SAMBURU & SHABA
You fly over the Laikipia plateau to reach the Samburu and Shaba reserves further north.
This semi-arid region offers a landscape unlike any other in Kenya.
Cheetahs and leopards are regularly seen in Samburu, along with the famous gerenuk, recognisable by its long neck and short horns — a cross between a miniature giraffe and an impala.
Shaba Reserve, with its kopjes and wetlands, will surprise you with the striking beauty of its landscapes.

Your 2-night stay at Sasaab Lodge will include 4×4, walking and camel-back safaris. And for an even more memorable experience, how about a night under the stars?

MASAI MARA
The famous Masai Mara welcomes you for your third stop, with 2 nights at Sala’s Camp.
A must in Kenya!
Exceptional plains stretch as far as the eye can see, and the richness of its wildlife is remarkable.

Your camp, set at the edge of the national park, is intimate and discreet, with sweeping views over the Serengeti, the Tanzanian extension of the Masai Mara.
Here, in August and September, you have a front-row seat to the Great Migration!

NAIROBI
Your third travel companion will be a grand one: the giraffe, in all its splendour!
At Giraffe Manor, they tower above you and will even join you at the table. Keep an eye on your plate, or your meal will disappear in seconds!

You will visit the Giraffe Centre and learn its history, where the conservation of this species is the primary focus.

Reason enough to look forward to meeting these ladies!
