Discover a quieter, more exclusive side of Kenya on this6-Day Whispers of the Wild Kenya Safari, combining three days at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy with two days at Loisaba Conservancy in the Laikipia Plateau. Away from the busier safari circuits, these private conservancies offer rewarding wildlife encounters, conservation experiences, and a chance to appreciate northern Kenya's landscapes at a more relaxed pace.
Begin your journey in Nairobi and travel north to Lewa, a celebrated conservation landscape known for its black and white rhinos, elephants, Grevy's zebras, and diverse wildlife. Spend three days exploring its open grasslands, wooded areas, and rolling terrain through guided game drives and conservation-focused experiences. With time to explore, you can enjoy wildlife observation without feeling rushed between destinations.
Continue to Loisaba, a vast private conservancy with rugged hills, open plains, and sweeping views across Laikipia. Its wildlife includes elephants, lions, leopards, Grevy's zebras, reticulated giraffes, and other species adapted to northern Kenya's drier landscapes. Depending on the lodge and activities available, your stay may also include guided walks, night drives, or other conservancy experiences, subject to local rules and availability.
Travelling in a pop-up roof 4x4 safari vehicle, this itinerary is designed for travellers who value conservation, varied wildlife habitats, and time to connect with the wilderness.
