A Leisurely Breakfast Begins the Day

Your chef is on hand to prepare breakfast to kick off the day to a great start and it’s a leisurely and relaxed start to the day.

Breakfast is mostly taken on the outside terrace which has magnificent views of the nearby mountains. It's a great panoramic vista that really captures the essence of the life and environment of the local Maasai tribes

A Chance to Buy Some Arts and Crafts

As a memento of your visit, you will receive a handmade Maasai wristband that will hold fond memories for you of your time with your Maasai host. And in addition to this, your Maasai host will display a selection of Maasai jewellery and curios which have been made by the villagers.

Leaving the Village via Helicopter enroute to Ololo Safari Lodge

We fly back to Nairobi enroute for Ololo Safari Lodge & Farm which is right on the southern boundary of Nairobi National Park. Ololo Safari Lodge will be your base for three nights. Your flight will put down in the grounds of Ololo Lodge. Ololo Safari Lodge is an amazing property that caters for solo travellers up to family groups.

Early morning game drive, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage and Ololo farm tour and lunch

For those energetic enough who want to experience an early morning game drive, the opportunity to witness the wildlife activity in the park beckons again. Being situated on the park boundary means no super early starts and Ololo game drives embark between 6.00 and 6.30 am every morning. It's home to over 100 species of mammals including a large population of black and white rhino, Cape buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena, zebra, jackal, and antelope such as eland, hartebeest, and impala.

After an exciting game drive, it's back to Ololo for a hearty breakfast. The lodge prides itself on serving excellent farm-to-table food and your plate will be filled with fresh produce; eggs, mushrooms, milk and yoghurt, fruit and vegetables are all produced using organic farming practices.

Then there will be a late morning visit to the nearby Sheldrick Wildlife Trust that also occupies a site on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Returning from the Sheldrick Trust, enjoy a delicious lunch at Ololo and then while away the afternoon relaxing on the terrace or open lounge with a drink.

Day 3 (afternoon) A Community Visit to Entrepreneurial Grandmas

After lunch you will visit a project that is turning around the lives of grandmas in a local community. You meet some engaging and entrepreneurial grandmothers who are beating their generational cycle of poverty. Many Kenyan grandmothers play a vital role in raising their grandchildren and extended families, and you’ll visit a pig farm, which is a project supported by One Horizon and travellers like yourself to improve the livelihoods of grandmothers by empowering them through small-scale farming. They invite you to assist with farming activities, join in some joyful singing and dancing over a cup of local tea or chai, and by sharing lots of laughter and listening to their inspirational stories, you'll get a real insight into the strength and resilience of these remarkable Kenyan women.

Returning to Ololo for Dinner

In late afternoon there's be time to relax by the pool or in the open lounge and peacefully watch the passing herds of wildlife across the Mbagathi River in Nairobi National Park. Or perhaps indulge in an invigorating massage (optional extra before dinner.

Flying to Lake Navaisha

After breakfast at Ololo Lodge, we depart to the airport for a short flight to Lake Naivasha. It’s a spectacular flight which starts with spectacular view over Nairobi before flying up the Great Rift Valley before landing at Naivasha airport. This flight is exclusively for you and your party and is a great way to travel up to the Lake via the majestic Masa Mara.

Boating on Lake Naivasha to Spot Hippos

Upon arrival in Naivasha, we head over to Sopa Lodge where we will take to the water to spot hippos. Sopa Lodge is an amazing venue, and you may be lucky to also spot the giraffes and zebra which pass through the grounds of the lodge. There are numerous water bucks wandering the grounds as well. And as we board our craft for 90 minutes on the lake, it’s time to ready our cameras to capture the pods of hippos which call the lake home. The bird life is also astounding. And all this before returning to the lodge for lunch.

Lunch at Sopa, free time and your flight back to Nairobi

The rest of the day is spent enjoying lunch in the award winning Sopa Lodge Restaurant and the grounds and wildlife of the lodge. You are free to wander around and also take a swim in the pool. It’s a great way to relax and to take in all that Kenya has to offer you. And about 4pm we will return to the airport and our aircraft for the trip back to Nairobi. Another amazing flight and a great way to end the day.
