Detailed Itinerary
Start your African Wild Dog Safari in Nairobi at Giraffe Manor, where Rothschild’s giraffes roam freely, offering a once-in-a-lifetime up-close encounter. Explore nearby gems like the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and the Karen Blixen Museum, then unwind on the terrace as the sun sets over the Ngong Hills. A memorable introduction to Kenya that stays with you long after you leave.
Fly into Laikipia and arrive at Sirikoi Lodge, a luxurious base in one of East Africa’s richest wildlife regions. Laikipia is famous for its endangered species, including the rare African wild dog. Enjoy exclusive game drives, guided bush walks, rhino tracking, and immersive visits to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and local conservation projects. With breathtaking landscapes and hands-on wildlife encounters, your stay at Sirikoi Lodge offers adventure, learning, and unforgettable memories.
Today, you’ll depart via light aircraft from Lewa Downs Airstrip to a local airstrip near Hemingways Mara. During the low season, flights may route via Wilson Airport, Nairobi.
Nestled in the heart of Naboisho Conservancy, adjacent to the world-famous Masai Mara Reserve, Hemingways Mara offers unparalleled privacy and exclusivity. Set among Cordia and Acacia trees, this stunning private tented camp provides intimate access to the Mara’s wildlife. With breathtaking views across the valley and sweeping plains, guests enjoy an exclusive safari experience paired with the warmth of authentic Kenyan hospitality.
Today marks the end of your African Wild Dog Safari—seven days of adventure, wildlife encounters, and authentic Kenyan culture. After a final breakfast at Hemingways Mara, you’ll be transferred to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight back to Nairobi Wilson Airport, where onward travel home begins.
