7-Day Private Flight Charter Kenya Safari from Nairobi | Samburu Riverbanks & Borana Rhino Country

When you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our safari team will welcome you before your private transfer to a luxury hotel in Nairobi.

Once you have settled into your room, take some time to rest after your long journey across international borders. You might choose to relax in the gardens, arrange a spa treatment, or ask our staff to organise an optional excursion if your arrival time allows. Optional excursions include visits to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Giraffe Centre, and Nairobi National Park.

An overnight at your hotel before the next day’s journey north.

After having breakfast, your private transfer will take you to Wilson Airport for your chartered flight to Samburu.

Enjoy the privacy of having an aircraft all to yourselves as you leave Nairobi and enter the vast open areas of northern Kenya; upon your arrival, your camp guide will meet you and take you to your accommodation.

Check in, have your lunch, and then go to your suite before taking part in the shared afternoon game drive.

Take in the different kinds of scenery that Samburu has, such as dry plains, acacia woodlands, and vegetation along the river. As your guide talks about how wildlife adapts to this special environment, look out for elephants, giraffes, antelope, and predators.

If you are drawn to a Samburu luxury riverfront safari, our team can recommend accommodation overlooking the river. When your chosen property faces the river or a waterhole, enjoy opportunities to watch wildlife between excursions, with sightings shaped by the season and animal movements.

Go back to your lodge for dinner and to spend the evening under the northern Kenyan sky.

Start with a game drive in the early morning while the air is still cool.

Look for the well-known Samburu Special Five: the Grevy’s zebra, the reticulated giraffe, the Somali ostrich, the beisa oryx, and the gerenuk. Your guide will keep an eye on recent wildlife activity so that you have the opportunity to see elephant families and other animals moving around in the landscape.

Go back to your of accommodation for lunch and then spend a relaxed afternoon.

If you are interested in tented camps with private plunge pools in Northern Kenya, we recommend Sasaab in Westgate Conservancy.

Proceed for an afternoon game drive before heading back for dinner.

If you want a cultural experience, we will arrange a visit led by the local community in cooperation with your accommodation and the local hosts.

After having breakfast, leave the accommodation and proceed to the airstrip for your private charter flight to the Borana Conservancy.

Your journey then takes you into Laikipia, with its rolling hills, open grasslands, and views of the distant mountains providing a new background for the next chapter of your safari.

We coordinate your arrival through an approved airstrip serving Borana and your onward transfer to the accommodation. Have lunch and use the time to get used to your surroundings before taking part in the afternoon game drive.

With your guide, proceed for a drive in the conservancy searching for black and white rhinos, giraffes, zebras, elephants, and other animals. You will also find out how conservation efforts, the local communities, and tourism all play a role in protecting this area.

Go back to your lodge for dinner with views of the wilderness.

Start with a private game drive or a rhino-tracking activity.

If you are interested in private rhino tracking in Laikipia, we will request exclusive guiding and confirm the available arrangements before booking. Learn how rangers monitor and protect rhinos while exploring their habitat. Participation requirements depend on the activity, and sightings remain unpredictable.

Go back to your accommodation for breakfast or for refreshments as specified in the morning schedule, and then have lunch along with some time for relaxing.
