Special Offer | 9-Day Kenya | Fly-in Laikipia Plateau & Masai Mara National Reserve

From Wilson Airport in Nairobi, embark on a light-aircraft flight to Loisaba Airstrip, where you will be met and transferred to The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille. This is an adventurer’s paradise! It’s not just about game drives and the stunning landscape, you’ll have the option to see real community projects and culture and experience camel trekking, walking safaris, day and night game drives, quad biking, mountain biking and wonderful spa treatments.

Today you could put your pins to use and go on a walk in the local area, where you’ll get up close the action and learn about the smaller things that can be missed when you’re in a game vehicle! Guided by Samburu and Maasai warriors, this is a very special journey into their ancient lands. Relax around camp, enjoy your meals and a siesta before heading off on a game drive where you can enjoy a sundowner, a safari tradition and a daily ritual! Your favourite drinks are served cold with the backdrop of wonderful panoramic views.

For an adventure today, why not try a camel safari? It’s a really special and unique experience, led by Maasai warriors and going deep into the African wilderness. Marvel at the landscape, simplicity and surrounding wildlife on a scenic 90-minute camel ride to the river where your lunch is waiting for you. An absolute must do! Lounge around the pool in between your safari activities and delicious meals.

Experience and learn about Maasai and Samburu culture first hand. The guides are fun, informative and your time with them will teach you all about the traditions, customs and history of the Maasai and Samburu people. You might have a stunning bush dinner under the vast starry African skies, or a picnic lunch by the river. Meals out in the wilderness are really memorable, special and connect you to the stunning landscape.

Enjoy breakfast before heading to the airstrip for your flight into the Masai Mara. You will be met and transferred to Cottar’s 1920 Camp for some vintage luxury at its best. Here you can enjoy bush walks, day and night game drives, bush meals and sundowners as well as opportunities to see the Great Wildebeest Migration (seasonal).

Head off on a game drive to explore the Masai Mara! Cottar’s is not located in the national park but is in its own private concession, and therefore has the advantage of having a low vehicle density and allows night drives and off-road driving. Let your guide know what takes your fancy and they’ll do what they can to give you that experience.

Enjoy the day at leisure, exploring the plains of the Masai Mara. Later, wash off the day in your canvas bush bath before dining and listening to the bush come alive at night while sitting under a starlit African sky.

Today, your last full day on safari, you’re encouraged to do whatever you choose, perhaps repeating your favourite safari activities. Go out on an adventure and return to camp to laze around the pool, or wine and dine until your next safari activity.

Enjoy breakfast then embark on a road transfer to the airstrip, where you will depart on your light-aircraft flight back to Wilson Airport in Nairobi for your onward travel arrangements.
