Wake in the safari capital of the world. Board a light aircraft and fly north into the award-winning Ol Pejeta Conservancy to Sanctuary Tambarare. Tucked in the shadow of Mt Kenya, Sanctuary Tambarare looks out across 90,000 acres of unspoilt land, where Africa’s most iconic wildlife roam.

Days 5: Ol Pejeta Conservancy – Masai Mara National Reserve

Fly south to the boundless plains of the world-famous Masai Mara. The reserve’s wide-open spaces and rich biodiversity make for effortless game viewing, particularly in this corner, considered one of the finest areas for wildlife in all of Africa. The unending landscape hosts some 450 bird species, 95 animal species and all of the great predators, including the country’s largest lion population. Transfer to the luxurious Sanctuary Olonana, an exclusive hideaway set on a private stretch of the Mara River.

Days 6-7: Masai Mara National Reserve

At Sanctuary Olonana, game viewing starts from the camp. Meet a pod of hippos that live in the river close by and venture forth for two full days of exploring the savanna, woodlands and tree-fringed rivers of the Masai Mara. Sanctuary's experienced guides take you to all the hidden spots in open safari vehicles with views from every angle. You might see a leopard retrieving its kill from the upper branches of an acacia, or an elephant protecting its young from opportunistic lions. Amid the stunning scenery, watch as Maasai tribesmen traverse the plains or herd goats and cattle. You will also be able to participate in the AKP Tree Planting Project, visit the neighbouring Maasai village or the AKP safe water initiative. Later, sip sundowners as you take in the beauty of the sunset colouring the Mara plains.

Day 8: Masai Mara National Reserve – Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Fly to Entebbe and onwards to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where once-in-a-lifetime encounters with Uganda’s endangered gorillas await. Arrive at your luxurious Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, situated uniquely inside the national park. Bwindi’s mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests. The ‘impenetrable forest’ protects an estimated 459 mountain gorillas — roughly half of the world’s population — including several habituated groups, which can be tracked.

Days 9-10: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Spend two days trekking through the forest to find a gorilla family. The walk is rigorous, up and down steep forested slopes and through thick jungle vegetation, however sighting the gorillas in the undergrowth is an inspiring moment. Spend time observing the family as they interact with each other, play and forage. The camp will pack a delicious picnic including fresh fruit, sweet and savoury delights. Once back at camp, enjoy drinks under the stars by the roaring campfire as you discuss your amazing adventure. Dinner is a three-course silver service overlooking the rainforest.
