Elephant, buffalo and leopard regularly visit the farm. Wildlife viewing on foot or by vehicle is tailored according to the movement of wildlife and steered away from mass tourism. Rekero guides, from the local Masai and Ndorobo communities, will accompany you on day and night game drives, bush walks, bird watching trips, picnics, sundowners and cultural visits.

Transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Naivasha. Transfer to Kongani Game Valley Ranch, a thousand-acre game park overlooking Lake Oleiden. Built in 1926 on the Naivasha lakeside by Margaret Carnegie, a wealthy american widow, it was named after the antelope of the species that they found there. Privately owned, Kongoni Game Valley still preserves the natural beauty of this land and its wildlife. Life here is restful and luxurious. Meals are international in flavour, the owner's Mediterranean roots result in fabulous home-made Italian dishes with pastas and ice creams to die for, but menus are tailored to guests' needs and requests. Daily game drives and walking safaris are taken with masai guides whose knowledge of medicinal herbs and plants is just as fascinating as their understanding of wildlife. Further activities include boating on lake, bird watching and sundowners while a large sparkling swimming pool provides a place to cool off in the hot afternoon sun. Overnight on full board basis.

 DAY 9-11 - SOUTHERN KENYA - Ol Donyo Wuas
After breakfast transfer to the airstrip for your flight to the Chyulu hills. On arrival you will be met and transferred to Ol Donyo Wuas, a private lodge situated on the slopes of Chyulu hills. Built in 1986 as Richard Bonham's private home, the lodge has exclusive access to 250,000 acres of East Africa's wilderness. The lodge is built on lava rock overlooking vast plains with Mount Kilimanjaro rising mistily in the distance. Built from indigenous materials, Ol Donyo Wuas harmonises with the landscape. The main lodge and the six cottages are solidly built of local stone and sinuously twisted wild olive timbers from fallen trees. Rich, dark woods combine with Masai carvings, flowing mosquito nets on four poster beds and soft fabrics to make a decorative style that is sophisticated in its pleasing simplicity and yet which refuses to prevent the eye turning outwards to the wonderful vistas. The activities on offer are extremely varied. Game drives and game walks are complemented by plant walks with Masai guides who offer information on medicinal and other uses for the local flora. The pleasure of early morning game walks or horse rides is enhanced by a huge bush breakfast, cooked under acacia trees, eaten at a fully laid table and beautifully served. Other activities include visit to the caves in the Chyulu Hills, a masai village and sundowners, taken on the terrace or Nongea Rocks with the roseate evening sky surrounding you. Overnight on full board basis at Ol Donyo Wuas.
