Your Itinerary

Day 1-3 NAIVAHSA-Olerai House 
Vintage Africa will meet you on arrival in Nairobi on arrival or from your city hotel and transfer you to Olerai House,Douglas-Hamilton's Farm. Here, in this little oasis of peace, set in the Great Rift Valley, is a farm all green with age-old acacia trees and a feeling of a much-loved place. Billowing clouds mark the horizons, pelicans fly in formation and fish eagles call from treetops. A giraffe peers through a network of branches, a line of impalas pass by and all of a sudden a flock of sheep join the parade. Olerai House, where guests will spend their first nights, is a secluded farmhouse set in the glorious countryside of the north shore of Lake Naivasha...more about Olerai House. Elephant Watch Safari guests will be introduced to Africa and elephants in style at Olerai house. One needs time to adjust in Africa and each day will bring new adventures in beautiful places. Here, guests will also gain knowledge about the work of the Douglas-Hamilton's and get to know the elephants before meeting them out in the bush. Overnight at Olerai House (LDBB)

Day 4 -6 NORTHERN KENYA- Elephant Watch Safari
On the fourth day, a private charter will fly you out towards the northern arid areas of Kenya and land at Samburu National Park to start the Elephant Watch Safari. Everything is different in the north, the heat, the scenery, the colours and the smells. Even Elephants have a special smell. The first sighting will be en route to The Elephant Camp and here our guests will be introduced to the families whose surnames are the Musicians, the Clouds, Spices, Trees and so on. This will be the beginning of an intimate and very novel experience that we would like to share with you. We look forward to welcoming you into our world. Overnight at Elephant Watch Camp (LDBB)
