Nairobi | Kenya

Arriving in Kenya’s capital marks the start of your East African adventure. While Nairobi is just a one-night stopover, it’s the perfect opportunity to shake off the jet lag and begin your journey with purpose.

Enjoy meaningful wildlife encounters at the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center. Both experiences are heart-warming and allow you to get up close to these iconic species while learning from the dedicated teams working to protect them and other vulnerable wildlife.

Ubuntu Travel co-founders Kyle and Leah always recommend a night at Giraffe Manor, one of their personal favorites in all of East Africa.

Masai Mara | Kenya

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most iconic national reserve. It offers unparalleled Big Five game viewing across vast, open plains.

This classic safari destination provides year-round wildlife sightings. Expect to see lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos on every game drive.

From July to October, the Great Wildebeest Migration moves into the Masai Mara. Over two million wildebeest and zebra cross from the Serengeti, creating dramatic river crossings and intense predator action.

Start your day with a sunrise hot-air balloon safari and enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush. For a cultural experience, visit a local Maasai village to learn about their heritage and way of life.
