Your next two days will be spent on an active safari, exploring the landscape and encountering wildlife in an array of exciting ways.
Early morning bush walks and exciting rhino tracking experiences are some of the most exhilarating ways to explore the Conservancy.

Day 5 Return to Nairobi, dusk game drive
On your final morning, enjoy a scenic helicopter excursion to Mount Kenya with Tropic Air. Soaring over the plains, you will soon reach the spectacular foothills of Mount Kenya. You will settle on the mountain to explore the rugged scenery and enjoy breakfast with a difference, before trying your hand at trout fishing in one of its beautiful, glittering lakes. Tropic Air is the leading provider of helicopter excursions in northern Kenya, and all pilots are trained as extensively knowledgeable guides, including your fishing-instructor-cum-pilot.
Upon your return, it shall be time to depart for Nairobi. Once back in the city, you shall be met by a representative from The Emakoko, who shall escort you back to your accommodation at this remarkable property offering a ‘safari in the city’ experience. You will return in time for a rest – perhaps by the pool, or maybe in The Emakoko’s library – before enjoying a dusk game drive, followed by a delicious dinner and drinks by the fire.
