Itinerary

This three-day safari travels from Nairobi to Laikipia for two nights of daytime wildlife viewing, then returns to Nairobi. An arrival-afternoon drive, morning and afternoon drives on the full day, and a final morning drive make up the game-viewing programme. The focus is Laikipia’s landscape and the wildlife encountered along permitted vehicle routes.

Day 01 :

Nairobi to Laikipia: Afternoon Game Viewing

The safari begins with the private road journey from Nairobi to Laikipia. An afternoon wildlife drive introduces the landscape around the selected safari base, following the permitted viewing routes. The guide arranges stops around the animals and birds encountered, with time to observe the surrounding grassland and woodland habitats. The outing begins the two-night Laikipia stay and introduces the viewing landscape for the full day that follows.

Day 02 :

Laikipia Morning and Afternoon Game Drives

Morning and afternoon game drives explore the permitted viewing areas for the selected Laikipia base. The guide explains the habitats and wildlife encountered along the route, with viewing stops shaped by animal movements and visibility. The separate outings give time to observe different parts of the landscape through the day, without promising a particular predator, rhino or wild-dog pack. The programme is vehicle-based throughout the day.
