Day 1-2
NAIROBI, Kenya
Stay one night at the famous Giraffe Manor, home to a herd of endangered Rothschild Giraffe.
Built in the 1930s and set in 12 acres of indigenous forest, Giraffe Manor is the ultimate location to spend your first night in Kenya. Experience the most unique breakfast in the world, sharing with the resident herd of endangered Rothschild Giraffes as they poke their long necks through the windows for a treat. Spend the day visiting the AFEW Giraffe Centre across the lawn from the manor to learn about these spectacular creatures, or bump into some of the warthogs, bushbuck or bird species that call the manor home. Enjoy the views over Ngong Hills with your afternoon tea in the manor’s beautiful courtyard playing croquet, before spending the evening in the Orchid House surrounded by 150 different orchids.
Day 2-5
SOLIO GAME CONSERVANCY, Kenya
Spend three nights exploring the highlands of Northern Kenya at the luxurious Solio Lodge on a private conservancy.
Fly to Solio Lodge in Northern Kenya to stay three nights in a private game reserve in between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains. Stay in one of the lodge’s luxurious and intimate cottages overlooking the rolling hills and Mount Kenya. The Solio Game Conservancy is one of the most successful rhino breeding reserves in Kenya, and guests can enjoy sightings of both black and white rhino whilst out on a game drive, as well as leopards, lions and cheetahs. Guests can also pick from a range of exciting activities such as horse riding through the reserve, cycling and guided walks, a scenic helicopter ride over Mount Kenya or a trout fishing adventure in the rivers of Aberdare National Park.
Day 5-8
WEST GATE CONSERVANCY, Kenya
Finish your Kenya trip in remote luxury at the Sassab Lodge on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River overlooking the peak of Mount Kenya.
Take a private charter flight from Solio Airstrip to Sasaab in Kenya’s Northern Frontier District, overlooking the Laikipia Plateau towards Mount Kenya. Sasaab offers exceptional safari experiences in an area renowned for the ‘Samburu Special Five’ – the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and beisa oryx. Spot them all on a game drive or on a guided walk in Buffalo Springs or the Samburu National Reserves. Alternatively, explore the Northern Frontier on a guided camel tour, all with Sasaab’s highly experienced local Samburu guides. In the evenings, enjoy a sundowner on ‘Sundowner Rock’, unwind with a massage overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River or even try fly camping secluded in the wilderness under the bright night stars.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
