The Peponi Safari
Ten Nights Across Kenya
Safari, unhurried.
A personally hosted journey through Kenya's wildlife, culture and landscapes — from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara and beyond.
Travel in a small group, with time built in to slow down, stay longer at sightings and experience each place properly rather than rushing through it.
From city experiences and local culture to exceptional game viewing in the Mara, every part of the journey is thoughtfully planned and personally hosted from start to finish.
Your ten night journey
2 nights | Arrival and Nairobi
Settle in and begin discovering Kenya's capital. Visit the Nairobi National Park, the Elephant Sanctuary, Giraffe Centre or Animal Orphanage.
Explore local markets and enjoy the city's vibrant dining and nightlife scene.
4 nights | Maasai Mara
Set out on early morning and late afternoon game drives in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and the Mara's extraordinary birdlife.
Between drives, return to the lodge for breakfast, lunch, rest and time to simply enjoy the surroundings.
1 night | Nairobi Overnight stop
Return to Nairobi after your exhilarating 4 nights in the Maasai Mara, for a relaxed overnight stay.
Unwind at your hotel and prepare for the next chapter of your journey. Shilen and Sahel will brief you on what to expect next and share a few of Nairobi’s lesser-known eateries.
2 nights | Amboseli / Second Destination
We recommend Amboseli renowned for its elephant herds, open plains and extraordinary views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Alternatively, your journey can include another Kenyan destination such as Samburu, Meru, Ol Pejeta or the Aberdare Range.
1 night | Nairobi & Farewell
Spend your final evening in Nairobi with time for a relaxed dinner, last-minute shopping or simply reflecting on the journey.
Shilen and Sahel remain with you through the final stage of your Peponi experience before your departure home.

Travelling for Photography?
Shilen is always happy to help guests get more from their photography, whether that means understanding animal behaviour, improving composition or making better use of changing light.
For photographers wanting a safari specifically structured around light, positioning, longer sightings and dedicated field-based guidance, Peponi also offers a photography-focused experience with more time to observe, anticipate and work each scene properly.
