Nairobi, Kenya

1 day

Urban wildlife and a thriving arts scene in the “green city in the sun”

suggested

Few cities can claim to be home to endangered black rhinos, lions, giraffes and zebras, but Nairobi National Park is just half an hour from the center of this fun, fast-growing capital. Not only can travellers take a safari with a backdrop of skyscrapers and find the history of these creatures in Nairobi National Museum, but there’s also a thriving community of artists, musicians, party-starters and trend-setters that populate the independent shops and DJ booths around town.

Your A&K Experiences: Feed endangered Rothschild’s giraffe at the Giraffe Centre, watch orphaned elephants play at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and listen to a traditional storyteller weave age-old folk tales at an exclusive A&K experience in Oloolua Forest in Karen.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

3 days

Secluded safaris with community spirit

suggested

Since its inception in 1983, Lewa has been a haven for endangered black rhinos, and now counts 248 of the beasts in its bounds, a remarkable increase from the initial 15. A significant proportion of its revenue is also invested into local community projects. Lewa is a private reserve, meaning guests have exclusive access to spotting the rhinos, lions, zebras and elephants that call the conservancy home, and can bed down in elegant lodges with breathtaking views of the powder-pink sunsets that bloom over the plains.

Your A&K Experiences: Spend your day viewing the conservancy’s epic game, either in safari vehicles or on foot; keep binoculars handy to spot lions, black and white rhinos, elephants and even the sitatunga, a semi-aquatic, swamp-dwelling antelope, before returning to your private veranda and toasting the day with a sundowner.
