Kenya The Classic Safari Escorted by Dr Ryan Snider

Kenya’s open savannahs, rolling grasslands, and undulating hills, set the scene for one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth!

December 8, 9: Flight to Nairobi, Kenya
A comfortable international flight takes you to Nairobi, Kenya (arriving Dec. 9). Upon arrival, Ryan will welcome and drive you to the charming Southern Sun Hotel.

December 10: Nairobi
Visit the artisans of the Kazuri Bead cooperative, dine at the Leopard Cliff Restaurant, and spend some time at a rehabilitation centre for abandoned baby elephants. Return to your hotel for a refreshing swim before enjoying a special ‘Welcome to Africa’ dinner and safari briefing.

December 11, 12: Laikipia Conservancy
Embark on a dramatic trip through the lush coffee plantations of Mt. Kenya to the arid Laikipia region, stopping at the equator on the way. Stay two nights at the eco-award winning El Karama Lodge in this awe-inspiring region known for wildlife not seen anywhere else in Kenya.

December 13: Lake Naivasha
Drive through the Great Rift Valley and descend the escarpment to Lake Naivasha. Spend the afternoon at a local primary school helping them practice English, distributing much-needed supplies, or planting tree seedlings. Stay overnight at the Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge.

December 14, 15, 16: Maasai Mara National Reserve
Cruise amongst the hippos and enjoy a private walking safari where much of ‘Out of Africa’ was filmed. Fly in a private charter plane over the expansive Great Rift Valley to the world famous Maasai Mara National Reserve where day and night game drives will provide you with the chance to photograph the full range of African wildlife including lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, and giraffe. The award-winning Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp features Hemingway-style tents with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and solar electricity.

December 17, 18: Nairobi Departure Flight
After one last game drive, fly over the sweeping savannahs and back to your day room in Nairobi for a chance to swim, shower, and pack your luggage.
