Aberdare mist, Ol Pejeta rhinos, Lewa’s Grevy’s zebra and three nights in the Mara, linked by flights.
This is a slower, deeper way to see Kenya. You begin with the misty forest of the Aberdares, spend two nights each at Ol Pejeta and Lewa for the rhinos, and finish with three nights in the Mara.
The camps are small, the drives between them are short or flown, and the last days at the Mara River are unhurried.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flights depend on aircraft availability and will be confirmed when you enquire. The migration is a natural event and cannot be guaranteed.
Best time for this trip Jun to Oct, Dec to Feb
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
