Arrive in Nairobi and make your way to the confirmed meeting arrangement for the group safari. The reference programme uses Sarova Panafric Hotel for the first night and includes dinner. This opening night gives the group time to meet, receive the safari briefing and prepare for the northbound departure the following morning. Airport transfer arrangements should be checked separately because the reference product lists them as available at extra cost.

Group Joining Safaris
View collection
Resident group joining safaris for Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
A distinctly different group safari for travellers who have already seen the classic Mara circuit or want to prioritise northern Kenya and conservation. The programme begins with a Nairobi gathering night at Sarova Panafric Hotel, then spends two nights in Samburu before moving to Ol Pejeta Conservancy for three nights. Samburu introduces arid northern landscapes and the species often promoted as the 'Special Five', while Ol Pejeta provides Big Five game viewing, major rhino-conservation context and a broader mix of activities. The reference itinerary is a scheduled-departure product rather than an any-day departure and accepts up to eight travellers per vehicle. It also lists game drives, armed-guide walking, boat and mountain-bike activities among the possible programme components.
