Laikipia
Wake up bright and early for your morning game drive, exploring the area from the dam to Laikipia’s acacia dotted landscape and olive forests. Lunch will be enjoyed at Mugie House with the day at your leisure. Watch the waterhole and the visitors that frequent it, take a dip in the cool pool and set off to watch the sunset during your late afternoon game drive. Return to camp for dinner and a crackling fire.

Great Rift Valley
Enjoy breakfast, then depart for the Great Rift Valley, boasting hot springs, geysers, volcanoes and some of the oldest, largest and deepest lakes in the world. The alkaline shallow soda lakes are famous for their flamingo flocks, which gather to feed and breed along the lakeshore. Arrive at Governors’ Loldia House sitting on a farm on the banks of Lake Naivasha, one of two freshwater lakes on the rift. Settle in and spend the afternoon relaxing, relax while you take in the views. Enjoy dinner and end the day off under the star-studded sky.

Spend a leisurely afternoon at the lodge before dinner is served.

Masai Mara
Depart after breakfast, driving along the Great Rift Valley floor to enter the Masai Mara National Reserve. You’ll immediately begin game viewing, passing wildlife herds on the vast savannah plains before arriving at Governors’ Camp, resting peacefully in a riverine forest on the banks of the Mara River. Settle into your classic safari-style tent, freshen up and head out on your first game drive. Enjoy dinner before ending the day around the crackling campfire.

Masai Mara
Enjoy two full days, in your 4×4 game viewing vehicle, for some of the Masai Mara’s exceptional game viewing. Witness the sun rising over the savannah grasslands, the silhouette of giraffe, elephant, wildebeest – and many more – on the horizon. Return to camp for lunch and leisure before you’re back on the vehicle for your next game drive, bringing endless opportunities – a predator stalking its prey, a fish eagle calling over the river or a calf being born, who knows what’s lying in wait. Enjoy dinner at the camp and end the day under the starry African sky.

Depart
After breakfast at Governors’ Camp, enjoy a final morning game drive en route to the airstrip for your flight to Wilson Airport. A Wildlife Safari representative will meet and transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward trip.
