The Elsa's Footsteps - Larsons

This breathtaking 9-day flying safari combines the dry and savagely beautiful bush country of Meru National Park, Samburu National Reserve and Shaba National Park in northern Kenya with the open rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara plains.

Joy and George Adamson's legendary adopted lioness, Elsa, roamed in many of these areas during her lifetime, while Shaba National Park is where Penny the famous leopard was released. This safari will allow you to follow in their footsteps.

The hand-picked accommodation included in this itinerary is full of character. Your stay at Elsa's Kopje is a real treat. Hidden away amongst the rocky crags, the camp is built very near to the site of George Adamson's original campsite. There is a sense of space and style which encourages pure relaxation. The ultimate 'pool with a view' looks out across the plains, perfect for chilling out after a game drive or guided walk in the bush.

Situated in the heart of Samburu National Park on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, on the border of the old Northern Frontier Province you will find Larsen's Camp. Named after Erik Ole Larsen, a legendary Dane credited with defining the 'luxury safari under canvas' experience. Larsen's Camp is a member of 'The Small Luxury Hotels of the World', a tented boutique camp combines colonial elegance with a casual atmosphere.

Your safari ends in the Masai Mara with a stay at the unique Cottars 1920's. Situated in an exclusive and extensive concession, this area is private. The camp recalls an era of romance and adventure. Book early to secure one of only a handful of tents, each made of authentic white canvas and luxuriously furnished. A stay here is truly a unique experience.

This wonderful safari itinerary starts with a day at leisure in Nairobi, we have some fantastic Nairobi Tours and Excursions that can be pre-booked.
