This 11 night safari covers a range of breathtaking locations and remarkable properties starting in Kenya’s sprawling capital of Nairobi and ending in Volcanoes National Park for some thrilling gorilla encounters. After arriving in Nairobi for a night, you’ll spend three nights in the famous Maasai Mara seeking out the Big Five on its astonishing reserve. At the Angama Mara, balanced on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, start your day with sunsets from your balcony or hot air balloon safaris over the plains. From here, travel to Chyulu Hills National Park for an exceptional stay at Ol Donyo Lodge, a highly luxurious accommodation offering uninterrupted views of Mount Kilimanjaro and a wealth of inclusive activities. Next is a night of cultural immersion in Rwanda’s capital of Kigali before enjoying panoramic views of Rwanda’s lakes and volcanoes at the Virunga Lodge, a perfect sanctuary in Volcanoes National Park.

Maasai Mara
Property
Angama Mara
Tent, Fully Inclusive
Built on the Out of Africa escarpment by Steve and Nicky Fitzgerald, who spent decades building lodges across Africa for &Beyond and came out of retirement to build this one, arguably their best. A thousand feet above the Mara Triangle, the view alone justifies the price point. Their attention to detail is evident at every level, and it shows in the combination that earns the position: that escarpment, the Triangle's quieter game viewing, and a level of polish that only a career like the Fitzgeralds' could produce.

Ol Donyo Lodge
Villa, Fully Inclusive
ol Donyo Lodge, a Relais & Châteaux property owned by Great Plains Conservation, occupies a singular position in Kenya's safari landscape. Set on the Maasai-owned Mbirikani Group Ranch covering 274,000 acres of wilderness, the lodge bridges Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks while bordering Chyulu Hills National Park. This remarkable setting delivers unobstructed views of Mount Kilimanjaro and offers a diversity of experiences rarely found in a single African destination. Where many safari properties focus exclusively on vehicle-based game viewing, ol Donyo's strength lies in its extraordinary range of activities—from horseback safaris to mountain biking—creating a multidimensional East African experience beyond traditional game drives.
