Our annual Celebration of Wildlife to the Maasai Mara this October begins with this visit to Sheldricks Elephant Orphanage. During the trip you will be accompanied by Clive Thomas, Director of ‘Prestige Promotions’ who boasts 15 years safari experience as well as being a Kenyan specialist and general Bon Viveur!
Clive will be accompanied by a variety of conservationists, anti-poachers, rangers, an artist, a photographer and several entertainers - never a dull moment!
On your first day you will fly to Nairobi where you will visit the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, staying overnight at a lovely boutique hotel. The next morning you will depart in our private charter for Lake Navaisha where you will spend 3 nights at the luxury hotel ‘Loldia House’.
Your next destination is the Masai Mara where home for the next 4 nights will be the award winning Il Moran Camp, with its luxury safari tents. Along with the 3 game drives a day - where you will be accompanied by a local expert - there will be talks in the evening, tuition on how to get the best from your camera, and lots lots more!
Your final destination is Ithumba where you will spend 3 nights at their private luxury camp, visiting the elephants each day with an opportunity to bottle feed the baby elephants.
