Discover the beauty of Kenya on this ultimate safari tour that will take you from tented accommodation with views of Laikipia Plateau, to a luxury camp in the Masai Mara, before ending at the world-famous Giraffe Manor.

On this tour your accommodation is from The Safari Collection; a luxury portfolio of camps and lodges in Kenya that has sustainability and conservation at its heart.

Authenticity drives the experience for guests, whether that’s watching elephants from your four-poster bed at Sasaab, hearing the lions roar as you swim in your private pool at Sala’s Camp, or learning about the conservation of the Rothchild’s giraffe as you feed the residents of Giraffe Manor from your balcony. Each of these stops on the tour will put you front and centre for epic wildlife encounters, from the Big Five to the Samburu Special Five, and even, at certain times of year, the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration.

The three bases to this Ultimate Kenya Safari Tour have been carefully chosen because they offer something unique and unlike any other. Giraffe Manor is legendary for its images of guests feeding Rothchild’s giraffes as they poke their heads through the large windows of the historic manor house at breakfast. At Sasaab your game drives are bursting with wildlife you’re unlikely to see on other safari tours, including the ‘Samburu Special Five’, five species unique to the area: the Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Gerenuk antelope and Somali ostrich. While Sala’s Camp is renowned for its authentic Masai Mara experience in what is a quiet location in the National Reserve, and also a prime spot for seeing the wildebeest migration.

This luxury Kenya safari tour offers bucket-list experiences, five-star accommodation, wildlife encounters aplenty, and a seamless Inspiring itinerary.
