The city and its surrounding area form the Nairobi County. The name “Nairobi” comes from the phrase Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to “the place of cool waters”. However, it is popularly known as the “Green City in the Sun” and is surrounded by several expanding villa suburbs. Also referred to as the “safari capital of the world”, Nairobi happens to be the only city in the world with a naturally occurring wildlife park within its boundaries, just a little beyond the central business district. This makes for excellent photography; wildlife casually in their natural habitat, with city sky scrapers towering in the background.

Borana Conservancy in the Laikipia region of Kenya is located at the foothills of snow-capped Mount Kenya. Sirai House sits in a secluded 250-acre estate, high on a ridge with spectacular views in all directions, surrounded by indigenous forests and game-rich Kenyan hills and plains.

  • All meals and overnight at Sirai House Cottages LDBB

 

Borana is home to an abundance of wildlife including many critically endangered species, most notably the healthy populations of black and white rhinos which are flourishing here, thanks to the security and conservation measures in place. More than 35,000 acres in size, Borana is just 17 miles north of the equator and is at an altitude of around 6,500 feet – which means the weather is warm during the day and cool at night all year round. The high altitude also means the region is malaria free.

The Masai Mara offers wonderful scenery and plenty of game-viewing opportunities. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago. Maasai Mara has got over 450 species of birds. One has to explore the plains and rolling hills for a chance to spot the elephant, black-manned lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, and with diverse species of hoofed animals.

  • Day spent game-viewing in the reserve.
  • All meals and overnight at Angama Mara – Tented Suite LDBB

 

The Masai Mara is justifiably one of the most famous game reserves in Africa. Dominated by great rolling plains of savannah grasslands, the Mara sustains the greatest variety of wildlife in Africa and indeed in the world. The concentration of game is at its highest from July through October when the reserve is host to the annual migration of more than a million wildebeests and zebras. However, game viewing is excellent year-round with giraffes, buffalo, zebra, eland, hartebeest, and Thompson’s gazelle offering a rich choice for the predator lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

It should be noted, however, that during the rainy season, the grass is fairly tall in some areas, which may affect visibility and restrict game drives slightly.

The neighbouring Maasai people, after whom the park is named, are nomadic. While on game drives, you will often notice young tribesmen herding their cattle amongst the plains game. They are colourfully attired, usually wrapped in bright red cloths, and armed with spears and rungus (tribal clubs).
