Stunning northern kenya – 5 days safari

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our representative; your host in Kenya. Welcome to Nairobi, a vibrant city undergoing a cultural and artistic renaissance. After a brief introduction, you’ll be transferred to the charming Hemingways Nairobi for a restful start to your journey.

HEMINGWAYS NAIROBI

A serene retreat in the heart of the city, Hemingways Nairobi is a five-star boutique hotel redefining luxury in Kenya’s capital. With just 45 expansive suites, this plantation-style haven offers space, light, and timeless elegance — each suite measuring 80m² and opening onto a private balcony with sweeping views of the Ngong Hills.

From the moment you arrive, our personalised service sets the tone. A dedicated butler attends to your every preference — from your choice of tea to how your clothes are pressed — ensuring effortless comfort throughout your stay.

Whether you’re unwinding in the spa, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a quiet stroll through the gardens, every detail is anticipated. Back in your suite, lights are dimmed, pillows just right, your nightcap waiting, and tomorrow’s plans seamlessly arranged.

This morning, we board a private charter flight to Segera Retreat, soaring above the dramatic landscapes of northern Kenya. As we fly low over Laikipia’s vast conservancies, you’ll enjoy spectacular aerial views of golden savannahs, winding rivers, and the distant silhouette of Mount Kenya — a breathtaking introduction to the wild beauty that awaits.

Landing on Segera’s private airstrip, you’re welcomed into a sanctuary where conservation, luxury, and creativity converge. This 50,000-acre retreat is a haven not only for iconic wildlife like lion, leopard, cheetah, and elephant, but also for rare and endangered species such as Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and African wild dog.

From the moment you arrive, the experience is personal and immersive — an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore one of Kenya’s most inspiring private reserves.

Full Days in the Conservancy – Game Drives & Optional Adventures

After breakfast, your day unfolds with a deep dive into Segera’s vibrant conservation and community initiatives. Join the inspiring all-female ranger unit from the Conservation Centre and take part in an engaging tracking session with trained dogs — learning how subtle clues in the landscape are used to protect wildlife.

Continue the experience with a visit to a traditional Samburu manyatta, offering a window into rural life and ancestral culture. From there, head to the SATUBO beading collective, where the women behind Segera’s iconic beadwork share their craft, stories, and stunning creations — each piece a testament to empowerment and tradition.

Throughout the days, enjoy game drives across Segera’s vast 50,000-acre conservancy, home to elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, and wild dog. Your expert guide will take you deep into the bush in open-sided vehicles, revealing not just the wildlife but the rhythms and relationships of the Laikipia ecosystem.

At your own pace, take a guided tour of Segera’s flourishing gardens and solar farm, followed by a stop at the award-winning Waterbank School — a ground-breaking model of sustainable design and education in a remote setting. For a touch of relaxation, opt for a rejuvenating spa treatment or a refreshing dip in the pool.

Another highlight awaits with a private art tour, where Segera’s acclaimed collection of contemporary African art is brought to life by your expert host. Sculptures, installations, and photographs invite you into Africa’s dynamic cultural landscape — from past to present.

Later, step into a bee suit and learn the ancient Samburu practice of wild honey harvesting. Explore the delicate ecological role bees play and enjoy a fresh taste of honey straight from the hive.

For those craving a wilder touch, venture out again on an afternoon or evening game drive, when the landscape glows gold and predators become active.

As the day winds down, enjoy a quiet sundowner or a wild film night under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the bush. Or take it a step further — spend the night at the extraordinary Nay Palad Bird Nest. This elevated, open-air nest offers a candle-lit dinner and an unforgettable sleep-out beneath a canopy of stars, cradled by the call of the African night.

Every experience at Segera is an invitation to connect — with nature, with people, and with purpose.

After an early breakfast, we bid farewell to the wild beauty of Segera and board a private charter flight back to Nairobi, soaring over the vast Laikipia Plateau and witnessing Kenya’s dramatic landscapes from above.

Upon arrival in the capital, take time to relax and enjoy a few final leisure moments — perhaps with a quiet lunch, some last-minute shopping, or simply reflecting on the extraordinary journey.

Later in the day, you’ll be transferred to the international terminal in good time for your late-evening departure — bringing your unforgettable African adventure to a close.
