7 Day Laikipia & Migration Safari
Discover Kenya’s conservation landscapes on a 7-day fly-in safari from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta and the Masai Mara. Experience intimate eco-camps, exceptional wildlife, endangered species encounters, and immersive safari activities in protected wilderness areas.
This unforgettable 7-day safari begins in the heart of Nairobi with a night at the eco-friendly  Nairobi Tented Camp, tucked away in the indigenous forest in Nairobi.Â
From there, a scenic flight takes you north to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a leading conservation area on the Laikipia Plateau in the foothills of Mount Kenya. Here, you’ll spend two nights, where expert guides lead game drives and walks in search of elephants, lions, and the endangered species that Ol Pejeta Conservancy works tirelessly to protect. Home to the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, a visit to the conservancy’s endangered species enclosure is a deeply moving experience. Optional activities like lion tracking and chimpanzee sanctuary visits make this a truly memorable stop.
Next, fly southwest to the famed Masai Mara National Reserve, where you’ll stay in the exclusive Mara Ripoi Conservancy. During the Great Migration season, witness the thundering herds of wildebeest crossing the plains — along with the big cats that follow them. With day and night game drives, guided walks, and fewer vehicles than in the main reserve, you’ll enjoy a more immersive and uncrowded safari experience.
Every element of this itinerary — from the expertly guided safaris to the scenic flights between camps — is designed to maximise your time in the wilderness, while supporting community-owned conservancies and conservation efforts across Kenya.

Rachel Chambers
Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!.

Andrea Landaeta
Hola, I’m Andrea and my love affair with the captivating world of safaris began during my teenage years when I embarked on my very first safari in Kenya. There, amidst the awe-inspiring wildlife and expansive plains, I found my true passion. Over the years, Kenya has called me back time and time again, leading me to explore its myriad camps, conservancies, and renowned parks. More recently, I’ve had the privilege of staying at all the Porini Camps, where the spotlight shines on wildlife conservation—a cause close to my heart as I traverse the globe. While Kenya holds a special place in my wanderlust-filled heart, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda have also woven their magic into my soul.
