In the evening, have dinner by the fire under the forest canopy. Listen to stories that share the culture and ecology of the Aberdare highlands.

On the fourth day, you’ll leave the forested highlands and travel into the wide-open savannah and private conservancies of the Laikipia Plateau.

Upon arrival, you embark on a guided game drive through private conservancies. You’ll see elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more in a quieter, conservation-focused setting. Rangers will share their knowledge of wildlife protection and ecosystem management.

As the sun sets, enjoy a classic savannah sundowner. Then have an open-air bush dinner under a sky full of stars, blending wilderness with peace and quiet.

On your last day, start with an early morning game drive across the conservancy. This is your final chance to spot wildlife, and you may also join rhino tracking or visit conservation projects, if available.

Mid-morning is dedicated to conservation learning, during which you visit sanctuary projects or community-led wildlife initiatives to gain a deeper understanding of Kenya’s conservation efforts and the importance of coexistence between people and wildlife.

After a relaxed lunch at the lodge, take some time for reflection, photos, or simply to rest before getting ready to leave.

Your journey ends with a transfer back to Nairobi, wrapping up a highland safari full of landscapes, wildlife, culture, and memorable experiences.
