7 Day Remote Kenya Safari
7 Day Remote Kenya Safari
Laikipia and Mathews Range
Take a seven-day remote safari in Kenya to visit two isolated, highly productive wildlife conservancies. Take a camel safari to see a different side of Kenya, and explore the country’s forests and pristine mountain streams on foot.
Remote Kenya Safari
Experience If you are visiting Kenya for the second time, this 7-day remote safari is ideal. Since the safari is conducted within private conservancies, you are free to partake in some of the other safari activities available, such horseback game viewing or, for the more daring, a camelback safari.
The 70 known mammal species that call Lewa home find refuge in its varied habitats, which include pristine forest, rich grasslands, natural springs, and acacia woodland. The area is also known for its breathtaking vistas of the snow-capped Mount Kenya.
Next, proceed to the Matthews Range, which is covered in tropical forests and is home to a variety of unique birds, shy creatures, and magnificent butterflies. With the assistance of a local Samburu guide, explore the forest pathways and learn the secrets of the forest

Day 1- 3: Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
Your remote Kenya safari vacation begins with a morning scheduled flight to the Lewa Conservancy. Here, you can spend your days exploring this diverse Kenya wildlife-rich landscape.
This is one of the best places in Kenya to see the endangered cheetah, Grevy’s zebra and rhinos. Whilst on your game drives, with guides from the local area, you have the chance of seeing languishing leopards or lions treed by buffalos.
A game drive in the African wilderness is always a unique experience. As an alternative, you can take a safari on a horse or, for less experienced riders, a safari on a camel.
On top of a hill, savor picnic meals while taking in expansive views of the plains and springs below. After a long day, return to camp for a delicious dinner and watch the sunset while sipping a cool sundowner while taking in the sights of the plains’ fauna.
Day 4: Lewa to the Matthews Range
On the fourth day of your distant Kenya safari holiday, after breakfast, enjoy a picturesque drive from Lewa to the Matthews Mountains. As you ascend the range, you will pass past typical Samburu villages with happy, waving children dressed in traditional Samburu attire.
Witness the women wearing vibrantly beaded necklaces, and the Samburu warriors, known as Moran’s, clad in all their finery, including spears and daggers.
The higher you go, the farther you are from civilization, and the more rugged the route becomes. The camp in this unusual hideaway position is a welcome sight at the end of this winding trail.
You will arrive in time for a fantastic meal that has just been prepared. Following tea and pastries in the afternoon, you can go on a Samburu guide-led stroll through the forest. Savor the area’s tranquility and calm. As you take in the sounds of the jungle, all the tension of the contemporary world seems to melt away.
Day 5 – 6: Elephant Paths and Samburu
Spend the next few days relaxing and exploring this beautiful region during your trip to Kenya. Follow the ancient paths made by the elephants as they traverse the forest. Listen to the elephants call one another through the trees. Watch the bushbuck as they come down to the stream in front of the camp.
A number of birds in this area will be singing in the morning. After taking a stroll through the forest’s dappled shadow, cool down in the chilly, crystal-clear ponds. Ascend the mountain while passing past the old, local cycads. After supper, have pre-dinner cocktails while chatting about the day’s events while seated around the campfire and listening to the scops owl’s hoot.
The Samburu method of starting a fire without matches or a lighter is another thing you can master. Test your accuracy with a Samburu spear throw. Visit the adjacent village to find out more about this intriguing culture. This walking-only camp is a little slice of heaven, a throwback to a bygone era, and a remembrance of more carefree days.
Day 7: Matthews Range to Nairobi
This tour concludes in Nairobi, where you will fly back to after making your way back down the mountain range on the last morning of your Remote Kenya Safari.
