The perfect safari if you have around a week in Kenya

If you have around a week in Kenya, then this itinerary is perfect. Spending your first three nights at our safari lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park, you’ll get your first taste of wildlife, but also be able to explore some interesting sites around Karen and Nairobi. From Ololo you’ll fly to the Masai Mara, where you will spend the next three nights on safari in what is one of Africa’s most remarkable national parks.

This safari showcases the best of Kenya, developed by our family through years of traveling and forming cherished friendships.

 

Stage 1

Nairobi

3 Nights

Crossing the Ololo footbridge is the beginning of a unique, once in a life time experience with all of us at Ololo.

3

Nights

You can choose to do as many, or as little, of the adventures we have on offer. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, visit the nearby baby elephant orphanage, or simply relax around the pool with a sundowner and bitings. Guests also enjoy a guided tour of our organic farm, that produces most of the food for your plate!

We can take you on game drives into the only national park in the world on the edge of a capital city. Nairobi National Park is a surprise package and many of these birds and animals are visible from our terrace and restaurant as they move around the bush. Ololo also takes guests to visit the renowned Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage without having to exit the national park.

You are invited to take part on an excursion to Karen to visit the famed Karen Blixen Museum, the Giraffe Centre or Kazuri Beads. Or more to your inclination some shopping at local markets and boutique stores can be arranged. Anselm Hot Glass Studio and Kitengela Glass is a walk away across the neighboring farms to Ololo, with one of our Askari guides.

Ololo Safari Lodge & Farm

Nairobi National Park, Kenya

14

Ololo Safari lodge is where our African story all started. Having bought the property in 2008, it took us 8 years to slowly turn it into a safari lodge, and welcome our first guests in 2016!

We live on-site, along with an incredible team of almost 50, who will make your experience at Ololo one to remember. We love meeting our guests and would love to show you around Ololo, share stories and welcome you to this beautiful country we call home.

Nairobi Wilson Airport > Masai Mara Airstrip

Stage 2

Masai Mara

3 Nights

The King of the Kenyan safari, the Masai Mara is bucket-list travel down to a tee.

3

Nights

The iconic wildlife (think big cats, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra and the famous river crossings of the Great Migration from July to September) is matched by some of the most beautiful scenery in Africa – and there’s a lengthy list of activities to help you discover it all.

Morning and afternoon game drives are the bread and butter of a Masai Mara safari, and all-day expeditions are common especially during the Great Migration. There’s usually a bush breakfast under a shady tree or a mobile sundowner bar to complete the experience too. Specific to the private Mara Conservancies are walking safaris and night drives, both allowing you to get to grips with the landscape in different ways. In specific locations, early-morning hot air balloon flights are possible – definitely worth booking in advance – as are horseback safaris for varying capabilities. Finally, many camps have partnerships with local Maasai communities for a chance to join them in their daily life.

Enkewa Camp

Masai Mara, Kenya

lodge

9

Enkewa Camp is one of our favourites in the Masai Mara, if not the whole of Kenya. It's a small, owner run camp of about 9 tents, in it very own secluded location close to Sand River and the border with Tanzania. This means that you can often go on safari without seeing another vehicle for hours, which is quite special for such a famous national park.
