Field notes
1-hour flight from Nairobi Wilson (WIL) to Olkiombo Airstrip + 30-minute 4x4 transfer
Scheduled bush flights land on Olkiombo's dirt runway. A camp open-sided 4x4 vehicle meets you on arrival for a short drive through the conservancy valleys.
Conservancy Guided Walking Safari
Because this camp is set in a private conservancy, guided bush walks are permitted. Arrange a 7:00 AM walking safari to learn animal tracks and local plant properties with a Masai tracker.
Structured Resort Atmosphere
Unlike smaller, highly intimate bush camps, the camp has a more structured, traditional resort layout, which can feel less adventurous than smaller tented camps.
