Safari Introduction

8 Days Sanctuary Safari

Journey through three of Kenya's most remarkable wilderness destinations on this carefully crafted fly-in safari, spending nights exclusively in Sanctuary's award-winning collection of lodges and camps. From the sweeping Amboseli plains where elephant herds roam beneath Kilimanjaro's snow-capped silhouette, to the highland meadows of Ol Pejeta where the world's last northern white rhinos are protected, and finally to the legendary Maasai Mara — each stop on this itinerary offers something utterly unique. Scenic chartered flights between destinations eliminate long road transfers, ensuring every hour of your safari is spent in the heart of the wild.

Detailed Itinerary
Day1
Nairobi → Amboseli
Arrival & Flight to Amboseli

Your Sanctuary Safari begins in Nairobi, where a representative will meet you at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for a private transfer to Wilson Airport. Board your scheduled light aircraft and settle in as the cityscape gives way to sweeping savannah — on clear days, the magnificent dome of Kilimanjaro emerges on the horizon. On arrival at Amboseli airstrip, your lodge vehicle will whisk you directly to Kitirua Plains Lodge in time for a welcome lunch. Spend the remainder of the afternoon on an introductory game drive across the vast Amboseli ecosystem, where large elephant herds gather on the open plains as the sun dips behind the mountain.

Spend a full day immersed in the spectacular landscapes of Amboseli, one of Kenya's best-loved wildlife destinations. Rise before dawn to catch the first light on Kilimanjaro and join your guide for a morning game drive across the open plains and seasonal marshes — prime habitat for large elephant breeding herds, buffalo, lion, cheetah, and dazzling birdlife. Return to the lodge for lunch before heading out again in the afternoon, when the golden savannah light creates extraordinary photographic conditions.

Flight to Ol Pejeta

After an early breakfast and a final morning drive through Amboseli, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight north to Nanyuki. The aerial journey provides a fascinating shift in landscape as the acacia grasslands give way to the lush green highlands of Laikipia. On arrival, your guide will meet you for the transfer to Sanctuary Tambarare Camp — a remote tented sanctuary within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the world's largest population of black rhinos and the last two northern white rhinos on earth.

Day5
Ol Pejeta → Masai Mara
Flight to the Mara

Following breakfast and a final morning drive through Ol Pejeta, transfer to Nanyuki airstrip for your scheduled flight to the Maasai Mara. The aerial journey south traces the contours of the Great Rift Valley — a breathtaking curtain call before landing in one of the world's most celebrated game reserves. At the airstrip, your guide will transfer you to Sanctuary Olonana Lodge, a luxurious riverside property on the banks of the Mara River. After settling in, embark on an afternoon game drive through the reserve's golden grasslands.

Day6
Masai Mara
Big Cats & Open Plains

Wake before sunrise for an exhilarating early-morning game drive into the heart of the Maasai Mara. The dawn hours are prime time for predator activity — lions returning from a night hunt, leopards retreating to their acacia perches, and cheetahs scanning the grass for Thomson's gazelle. The afternoon drive brings different rewards — herds of elephant crossing the plains, hippos jostling for position in the river, and the theatrical light of a Mara sunset. End your evening with a Maasai Village Visit to connect with the communities who have coexisted with wildlife here for centuries.

Full Day Game Drive

Your final full day in the Mara offers the choice of a full-day game drive deep into the reserve or back-to-back morning and evening drives — whichever best suits your rhythm. A packed bush breakfast served on the plains adds an unforgettable alfresco moment. The Mara's diversity is staggering: over 95 mammal species and 570 bird species share this ecosystem. During the Great Migration months, the thunderous crossings at the Mara River are among nature's greatest spectacles. Even outside migration season, the resident game is remarkable — one of the densest concentrations of predators on the continent ensures that no game drive ever disappoints.
