Day 2-3 Sweetwaters - Ol Pajeta Ranch House Transfer to Wilson Airport to catch your scheduled flight to Nanyuki. You will be met and transferred to the intimate and exclusive Ol Pajeta Ranch. When you stay at the Ranch House, you have chosen to retreat back into history, to the bygone traditions of Kenya's farmhouse hospitality. The house was originally the home of Lord Tom Delamare, and subsequently the property of Billionaire Adnan Khashoggi, comprises of six elegantly appointed bedrooms overlooking extensive tropical gardens to the much frequented waterhole beyond.
Against the backdrop of Mt Kenya, the house is set in the private 24,000 acre Sweetwaters Game Sanctuary in which roam elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion and a myriad of other plains game. Here there are no crowds, no timetables, no rush. Meals and sundowners in the bush; Day and night game drives in 4x4 vehicles; escorted bird and game viewing walks, a ride on horseback through Acacia-covered plains, visits to the Chimpanzee Sancturary, and "Morani" Daphne Sheldrick's famous orphaned black rhino, or just relax beside on of the two swimming pools.

Day 4-6 Masai Mara - Little Governors Camp Transfer to the Nanyuki airstrip for your scheduled flight to Masai Mara Departing at 10h00. On arrival at the airstrip you will be met and transferred to your camp where you will spend the next three nights. Masai Mara is traditionally the lands of the Maasai. The Mara is basically open rolling grassland dotted with the distinctive flat-topped acacia trees tucked away in the southwest corner of the country.
Wherever you go in the Mara, the one certain thing is that you'll see an astonishing amount of game. Of the big cats, lions are found in large prides everywhere. Other cats include cheetahs and leopards. Other animals found here are elephant, buffalo, zebra, hippo, antelopes, giraffe, baboon, watt hog, spotted hyena and grey jackals. The highlight of the Mara is no doubt the annual wildebeest migration when literally millions of these beasts migrate into the Mara (July -August) which is truly a staggering experience.

A living room perched graciously under a baobab, leading a few steps to a dazzling bedroom with ensuite facilities, is all that exists on the small hillside.
A few more steps downwards lead to a pavillion on the edge of the water, perfect for Daytime lounging, refreshments and shade. Staff and boatmen are at your service and meals are served on three different locations:- bedroom/planetarium, beach house, dining platform.
