Itinerary
Day
1
Nairobi Arrival. Overnight at Ngong House
Karen District, Nairobi
Arrive
at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in
the evening, where you will be met by the warm, smiling
face of your private guide, Paul. Paul will transfer
you to Ngong House, where you may have a light snack
before settling in for the night. During your first
night in Africa, you will probably awaken to the peculiar,
electrifying call of a territorial male tree hyrax!
In fact, these furry brown creatures that look like
giant guinea pigs are the closest living relatives
to the elephant! Enjoy your first night in Africa!

Tsavo
National Park, Chyulu Hills
After breakfast, you
will be transferred to the airport where you will
board a flight to the Chyulu Hills. As you fly into
the area to your right you will get your first glimpse
of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's largest free standing
mountain which sits amidst the vast plains of south
eastern Kenya. You arrive at the camp and are warmly
welcomed by your hosts Luca and Antonella and then
taken to your cottage. The thatched roof guest cottages
have a wide veranda to provide superb views of Mt.
Kilimanjaro and the Tsavo Hills. Activities include
nature walks and game drives in open-top, four-wheel-drive
vehicles. Due to a diverse habitat, a wide range of
wildlife is found here. Antelope, such as oryx and
gerenuk, mix with zebra, topi, impala, eland and wildebeest.
After your safari, return to the camp for a breakfast
that includes fresh local fruit such as mango and
pineapple. Following breakfast, you can enjoy an escorted
safari on foot, or just relax at the camp.

Masai
Mara Game Reserve
After breakfast, you
will be transferred to Airstrip for your scheduled
flight to the Masai Mara. The Mara holds the greatest
and most diverse concentration of wildlife remaining
in Africa today. It is home to the Masai people and
to small clans of Ndorobo, the traditional hunter-gatherers
of East Africa. Recalling an era of luxury and sophistication,
Cottar's 1920's Camp returns to the original spirit
and essence of 'safari,' reminiscent of a golden era
- an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure
and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting with
panoramic views and boundless game. Each day in the
Mara will be dramatically different to the next, you
may spend hours tracking rhino on foot with an Ndorobo
tracker, or sitting quietly for hours observing a
typical day in the life of a pride of Mara lions,
or let the circus antics of infant cheetah cubs bring
tears of laughter to your eyes.

The

in, you will enjoy lunch before your activities begin.
You will enjoy three wonderful days exploring this
incredible wilderness area with guides who will share
their knowledge of the native flora and fauna and
man's interaction with it! The Northern Frontier District
is a peaceful wilderness with spectacular vistas and
beautiful sunsets. Staying here, in the very heartland
of the nomadic Samburu, Borana, Maasai and Pokot people,
you will have the rare opportunity to experience cultures
and traditions that continue to move to the beat of
an ancient drum. Not only does this 12 Day African
Spice Safari Adventure introduce
visitors to a preserved native habitat, it also acquaints
you with a way of life that has stood the test of
time.
