Arrival in Nairobi – Welcome to Hemingways Elegance

Touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and be greeted by our representative who’ll whisk you away to Hemingways Nairobi or Hemingways Eden Residence — an oasis of calm tucked within the leafy Karen suburb. After check-in, unwind with a welcome drink as the evening light dances across the Ngong Hills. Enjoy a relaxed dinner at The Brasserie or indulge in a cocktail on the terrace.

Day 2

Nairobi to the Maasai Mara – Into the Wild

After a leisurely breakfast, transfer to Wilson Airport for your scenic flight to Ol Seki Airstrip in the Naboisho Conservancy. As you soar over the Great Rift Valley, the landscapes unfold into endless savannahs below. On arrival, your guide will take you to Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, where luxury tented suites open to sweeping views of the wilderness. Following lunch and a short rest, head out for your first afternoon game drive — lions lazing under acacias, elephants roaming gracefully, and perhaps a cheetah on the hunt. Return to camp for a sundowner, then a candle-lit dinner beneath the stars.

Day 3

Golden Mornings and a Bush Breakfast to Remember

Awake to the sounds of the wild — birdsong, rustling grass, and distant calls of the savannah. Set out early for a morning game drive, when predators are most active. After thrilling sightings, your guide will lead you to a secluded spot for a bush breakfast surrounded by untamed beauty. Return to camp to relax before lunch and a peaceful siesta. In the afternoon, visit a Maasai village to experience the community’s deep traditions and storytelling. As night falls, embark on a guided night drive to encounter nocturnal creatures under the glittering African sky.

Day 4

Full Day Safari in Naboisho and the Greater Mara

Today is your deep dive into the wild. Enjoy a full-day game drive across Naboisho and into the famed Maasai Mara Reserve. With your picnic lunch packed, follow the river’s edge, where hippos bask and crocodiles linger. The Mara reveals its rhythm — vast herds of wildebeest, elegant giraffes, and the quiet dignity of elephants in motion. As the day closes, return to camp for an evening of storytelling around the fire and a private dinner under the stars.
