The Maasai Mara, a private conservancy and the rhinos of Lewa, all in one journey

Begin with a night at Hemingways, Nairobi’s finest boutique hotel, then fly by light aircraft into the Maasai Mara, home to all of Africa’s “big five” where it meets Tanzania’s Serengeti.

Continue to the Naboisho Conservancy, famous for its lions, and finish at Lewa, a conservancy that protects black and white rhinos and rare Grevy’s zebras. On your last day, enjoy a private visit to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage before flying home.
