Safari Overview
Experience an extraordinary and Exclusive Kenya Safari journey combining two of Africa’s most legendary destinations—the historic wilderness of Tsavo West and the wildlife-rich plains of the Maasai Mara. This exclusive 7-day itinerary showcases the timeless elegance of Finch Hattons, one of Kenya’s most prestigious safari camps, followed by intimate game viewing in a private Mara conservancy.
Finch Hattons Safari Camp embodies old-world safari romance reimagined with contemporary luxury. Nestled within Tsavo West National Park beneath the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, this iconic property honors the legacy of legendary aviator and adventurer Denys Finch Hatton, immortalized in “Out of Africa.” The camp’s dramatic setting features ancient lava flows, crystal-clear Mzima Springs fed by the Chyulu Hills, and diverse wildlife roaming across 9,000 square kilometers of pristine wilderness. Luxury Kenya tours rarely offer such authentic heritage combined with modern sophistication.
This carefully curated Kenya safari packages experience balances Tsavo’s rugged beauty with the Maasai Mara’s legendary abundance. While Finch Hattons provides exclusive access to lesser-visited Tsavo landscapes where elephants, leopards, and diverse birdlife thrive away from tourist circuits, the Olare Motorogi Conservancy delivers intimate encounters with the Mara ecosystem‘s remarkable predators and massive herbivore concentrations. Private conservancy access ensures uncrowded game viewing, flexible schedules, and off-road driving privileges unavailable in public reserves.
Each property represents safari excellence. Finch Hattons offers lavish tented suites with private decks overlooking hippo pools, gourmet dining featuring locally-sourced ingredients, and guided excursions to geological wonders like Mzima Springs’ underwater observatory. Your Mara camp provides equally sophisticated accommodations within exclusive conservancy boundaries where wildlife densities rival the best of East Africa. Expert naturalist guides throughout your journey share deep ecological knowledge, enhancing every wildlife encounter with context and insight that transforms observation into understanding.

Fly to Tsavo West, landing near the legendary Finch Hattons Safari Camp. Your dedicated guide welcomes you and transfers you to camp, where a chef-prepared lunch awaits alongside stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Two days of exclusive game drives explore Tsavo's dramatic landscapes—ancient lava flows, acacia woodlands, and the remarkable Mzima Springs where hippos and crocodiles inhabit crystal-clear waters. Visit the underwater observatory for unique perspectives on aquatic life. Wildlife encounters include elephant herds, leopards, lions, buffalos, and over 600 bird species. The camp's luxurious amenities and impeccable service ensure evenings are as memorable as daytime adventures.
Fly to the exclusive Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara. Your expert guide provides a personalized briefing before escorting you to your luxury camp for lunch and relaxation.
Three full days of morning and evening game drives showcase the Mara ecosystem's legendary wildlife—lion prides, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and vast herbivore herds across sweeping savannahs. The conservancy's low-density tourism model permits off-road driving and flexible schedules, maximizing extraordinary sightings. Witness predator-prey interactions, observe breeding herds, and experience why the Mara remains Africa's premier safari destination. Private conservancy access ensures intimate, uncrowded encounters throughout your stay.
After breakfast, fly to Nairobi where a comfortable day room at an elegant hotel provides the perfect transition. Refresh, reflect on your remarkable journey from Tsavo's volcanic landscapes to the Mara's golden plains, and prepare for your international departure carrying unforgettable safari memories.
