Kenya SkySafari by Elewana: Amboseli, Meru & the Masai Mara

Enjoy complimentary airport lounge access before your overnight flight to Nairobi.

Arrive into Nairobi and travel by private transfer to your hotel on the outskirts of the city. Today is all about relaxing, so make the most of the pool, or enjoy a treatment at the spa, as you look forward to the days of adventure that lie ahead.

Stay: Hemingways Nairobi

Transfer to the airport for your flight to Amboseli,  national park best known for its large herds of elephants and unrivalled views of Kilimanjaro. You'll be met and transferred to Elewana Tortilis Camp in the quiet southern reaches of the park. The camp's 17 thatched tents have king or twin beds, polished wooden floors, en suite bathrooms, shady verandas and Swahili daybeds. The dining and living room is a stone-and-thatch building open on one side to Kilimanjaro, while the comfortable bar looks down upon a waterhole that's frequently visited by elephant, zebra, giraffe and gazelle. Game drives cover both the camp's 30,000-acre concession and the wider park at large, where lion, leopard, cheetah and buffalo can also be seen framed against Africa's tallest mountain. And, between safari activities, you'll be treated to everything from scenic sundowners and an early-morning walking safari to delicious full-board dining.

Stay: Elewana Tortilis Camp, Amboseli National Park

Take the scenic flight north to Meru National Park and transfer to Elewana Elsa's Kopje, named after Elsa the lioness whose story was immortalised in the film Born Free. Although the sound of roaring lions can still ring out across the park, it's actually rhinos that tend to cause the most excitement – this is the best upmarket camp in Kenya to view rhinos in their natural habitat. Each stone-and-thatch cottage, built into the rocky hillside and open at the front, offers fabulous views. The infinity pool is a particularly nice touch, which, just like the rooms, looks out across the park, providing an unparalleled backdrop of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, kudu, hippo and crocodile while you relax. Your stay here includes a massage on arrival, or an afternoon game drive, as well as full-board dining and sundowners in the bush. And, on your second day at the lodge, your guides will bring you out on a thrilling night safari for the chance to experience the park and its wildlife after dark. 

Stay: Elewana Elsa's Kopje, Meru National Park

Two short flights will take you to the Masai Mara where transport will be waiting to whisk you to Elewana Sand River Masai Mara. One of the more luxurious options in the Mara, Sand River provides an elegant safari experience full of romance, adventure. Its spacious canvas tents offer en suite dressing rooms and bathrooms, four-poster beds and private verandas with breathtaking views. The lounge areas are both fabulous and evocative in equal measure. Your stay includes full-board dining, sundowners and a full day's game viewing in one of Africa's most iconic wildlife reserves.
