Luxury Kenya Safari

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a Williamson Adventures representative will welcome you and transfer you to The Palacina, a peaceful retreat in the heart of bustling Nairobi. Check in to your suite and unwind at the indoor or outdoor swimming pool, or indulge in a luxurious spa treatment after your flight.

If you prefer to explore, visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust or the Karen Blixen Museum to connect with Kenya’s wildlife and cultural heritage. In the evening, enjoy a drink at the Palacina Bar followed by dinner at the Bistro, or venture into town to sample one of Nairobi’s nearby dining options.

The first leg of your luxury Kenya safari begins as your dedicated guide transfers you through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. Check in to The Cliff, an exclusive luxury camp perched on a dramatic clifftop. Each tented suite offers sweeping 180-degree views of Lake Nakuru, a unique soda lake teeming with thousands of flamingos.

Start your day with morning yoga, stretching, or rejuvenating spa treatments, or energize at the gym pavilion before heading out on morning and evening game drives in search of Rothschild’s giraffe, leopard, lion, buffalo, and rhino. Highlights include a visit to the iconic “Pride Rock” and an excursion to the towering red cliffs of Hell’s Gate National Park, where adventure and scenery combine to create unforgettable memories.

After a refreshing breakfast overlooking the shimmering Lake Nakuru, your dedicated guide will transfer you to the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The scenic drive takes approximately five hours, with stops along the way to enjoy the Rift Valley’s breathtaking landscapes.

The Mara is a wildlife mecca, famous for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration and exceptional game viewing year-round. Your base, the luxurious Sand River Masai Mara, sits on the banks of the Sand River and combines classic safari glamour with a modern, low-impact philosophy. Explore the Mara on expertly guided game drives, or watch the mega herds of wildebeest cross the river from the comfort of your luxury tent.

Wake up to a refreshing breakfast in the Masai Mara before your guide transfers you to the nearby airstrip for your short flight back to Wilson Airport, Nairobi, and onward journey home.

For those wishing to extend their adventure, consider adding a stay at one of Kenya’s stunning beach destinations for the ultimate bush-and-beach experience.
