A uniformed Old Line Safari Company representative meets you on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transports you to the gorgeous Giraffe Manor or Ngong House, both located in a quiet, leafy Nairobi suburb, where your room awaits you. For the rest of the day, you may relax and catch up with the time zone or opt to visit the David Sheldrick Trust (to see the orphaned baby elephants) or the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum (made famous in the film Out of Africa) at no extra charge.

Today, you catch your flight from Wilson Airport on a twin-engine aircraft to Amboseli National Park, where you'll check into the luxurious Tortillis Camp for two nights. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro on the border of Kenya and Tanzania, Amboseli offers excellent opportunities to photograph some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya. During morning and evening game drives, you may also anticipate seeing giraffe, Cape buffalo, and zebra, among a host of avifaunal species.

Next, you fly to the world famous plains of Maasai Mara National Reserve via the northern frontier district of Samburu. Your three-night stay in Elephant Pepper Camp recalls the early explorers' experience. With no electricity nor noisy generators, you'll quickly become accustomed to the bush life of early morning game drives to watch the waking plains and afternoon siestas, with plenty of time to write in your journal before tea and a late afternoon guided walk or drive. A balloon safari for a spectacular “hawk's eye view” of the game-studded plains breaks the routine, providing another memorable experience.

A final game drive at dawn to catch the best of the waking Mara plains seems in order. After breakfast, you must say goodbye to the camp staff before boarding your flight back to Nairobi. Lunch precedes afternoon shopping at Utamaduni Crafts Centre, followed by a farewell dinner. Then, it's time to transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to catch your departing international flight.
