Day 2 TUE Nairobi | Meals: B
The morning is at leisure.
This afternoon, travel out to the suburb of Karen to visit the former home of Karen Blixen. A walk around the grounds and through the house bring the author's words to life. Then, it is on to the Giraffe Center for a fun and educational encounter with the exquisite Rothschild giraffes. When the center was founded in 1979, only 120 of the Rothschild giraffe remained in Kenya - and they were on the verge of losing their "home" to a subdivision of property. Through careful breeding and reintroduction to the parks, there are about 300 Rothschild giraffes in Kenya today. In fact, you might see them again when you visit Lake Nakuru, one of the four parks in Kenya chosen to have a relocated herd.

Located high on the slopes of the Oloolaimutia Hills, Masai Mara Sopa Lodge was one of the first safari lodges to be built in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, a reason why its gardens and trees are so lush and mature. All the buildings follow the design of traditional African round houses with conical roofs, and these stretch along the line of the hills with the impressively large public area buildings and the swimming pool at their center.
Accommodation
The lodge has fifty guest cottages divided into two wings to either side of the main public areas.

Day 5 FRI Masai Mara-Great Rift Valley | Meals: BLD
Leaving the Masai Mara after breakfast with a picnic lunch, you'll travel across the 'breadbasket' of Kenya, past Narok and on to the vast plains on the floor of the Rift Valley.

Leaving Lake Naivasha behind, enjoy the spectacular views as you travel out of the Great Rift Valley and on through Kenya's highlands. Stop for a picnic lunch in Nairobi before heading southeast to Amboseli National Park. The park sits at the foot of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, and is probably most well known for its elephants. Game drive enroute to your lodge.
Set in 200 acres of private land, and with a rustic charm all of its own, the lodge nestles in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro which, at almost six thousand metres, is Africa�s highest and most famous snowcapped mountain. It was this region of Kenya that, in the 1930s, inspired Ernest Hemingway�s unforgettable stories �The Snows of Kilimanjaro� and �The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber� which were turned into more than successful feature films in the late 1940s due to their renowned actors. All forms of wildlife still abound in this wilderness which continues all the way to the Amboseli National Park, an easy twenty minute drive away from the lodge.
While the park conserves over six hundred breeding species of birds as well a host of rare and wonderful wildlife, this is also home to the Maasai people, perhaps the world�s most renowned African tribe.
Accommodations
Rustic, well spaced cottages meander through the vast expanse of our mature gardens and house our eighty three guest rooms. These are all brightly decorated with Maasai themed wall murals, and each room has been purpose built to contain either one or two queen sized beds as well as a veranda.
We also have a luxuriously appointed, extremely spacious, two bedroom Presidential suite with a private dining room and an attached kitchenette, and also with a huge lounge and a quite simply vast veranda
