Days 1-4 Borana Lodge
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and escorted to Nairobi’s domestic Wilson Airport. Your private charter flight will depart at 10:20, arriving at Lewa Main Airstrip about an hour later. There you’ll be collected by someone from Borana Lodge and driven for 45 minutes (unless wildlife sightings slow you down!) to the property, your beautiful home for the next three nights.
Borana Lodge
Borana is steeped in history and style. Located deep inside the Borana Conservancy, Kenya’s newest and most successful rhino sanctuary, it’s set on a beautiful hillside to provide far-reaching views, and additionally boasts wonderfully organic design. Established in 1993 as one of East Africa’s original boutique eco-lodges, Borana has since been the prime economic driver enabling this conservancy to safeguard vital habitat for endangered species.
Days 4-7 Segera Lodge
After breakfast at approximately 11am, you will take a private chartered flight from Borana’s airstrip onto Segera’s airstrip courtesy of another private charter. Memorably crossing the vast Laikipia Plateau, this flight will take approximately 20 minutes.
Segera Retreat
By dropping fences and reopening migration corridors, Segera has reverted a working cattle ranch back into a thriving wildlife-conservation area. Alongside lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas, there awaits extraordinary birdlife and many rare and endangered species including Grevy’s zebra, patas monkeys and even wild dogs. More elephants migrate through each year, as drama regularly unfolds on the 50,000-acre estate. After dark, you’ll hear the roar of a male lion, the melancholy whoop of hyenas or zebras anxiously yipping. There is nowhere quite like it.
Segera includes an original farmhouse, secluded master suites and six thatched villas positioned in landscaped, botanical gardens and centred around a vast swimming pool with outdoor baths, ensuite bathrooms and private decks.
Days 7-10 Cottar’s 1920S Camp
After breakfast at approximately 11am, you will take a private chartered flight from Borana’s airstrip onto Segera’s airstrip courtesy of another private charter. Memorably crossing the vast Laikipia Plateau, this flight will take approximately 20 minutes.

Day 11-Depart
Depart from Cottar’s 1920s Camp after breakfast and drive back to Keekorok Airport for a scheduled flight to Nairobi. This departs at 11:00, arriving at Wilson Airport at approximately 12:15. You’ll be met by a Cottar’s Safari Services representative and taken to a nice restaurant of your choice for lunch (at cost). Afterwards comes the opportunity to explore some of the city’s highlights, before dinner (also at cost) and a transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your flight home.
