Your journey begins with a scenic 6โ€“7 hour (approx. 370 km) drive from Nairobi in a 4×4 pop-up Land Cruiserโ€”ideal for panoramic views and photography.

Today is dedicated to exploring the sanctuary’s rolling hills. Go on morning and afternoon game drives or guided nature walks, where youโ€™ll see elephants, buffalo, antelope, and more. The landscape offers both beauty and tranquility, and your lodge provides one of Kenyaโ€™s most unique wildlife viewing spotsโ€”right from your balcony.
