Full details of the prize

From the wide grasslands of the Masai Mara to the majestic wildlife that roams within it, there is no place like Kenya from which to experience a classic safari. And with A&K, pioneers of the luxury safari in the 1960s, a Kenya safari becomes the experience of a lifetime.

With A&K, this Kenya safari holiday means days abuzz with bush walks, evening drives aboard comfortable 4x4 vehicles and nights spent under a blanket of stars. An A&K Kenya safari is also an opportunity to discover local conservation efforts, such as an elephant research centre or a tree-planting community project. Experience nature’s astounding beauty and the rich culture of the Mara with A&K.

Arriving late, you’ll stay in Nairobi for one night before driving to Sanctuary Olonana, an award-winning tented safari camp. Situated on a private stretch of the Mara River in the heart of Kenya’s most famous game reserve, the Masai Mara, this is a small and exclusive camp. The first of Sanctuary’s luxury safari properties, it has been built along sustainable lines which, along with the innovative wetlands and tree-planting projects, have earned Sanctuary Olonana a Gold Award from Ecotourism Kenya. Game drives, cultural visits, bush dinners, sundowners, scenic flights and balloon rides, Olonana makes for a wonderful African safari. Refurbished in 2018, Sanctuary Olonana boasts an impressive showcase of modern design blended with distinct traditional African finishes.

Having spent four incredible nights on safari, it’s on to Nairobi for a night and full day sight-seeing. Our tailor-made Nairobi tours illuminate the charm of the Kenyan capital, a city that amply rewards those who choose to explore its many charms. Taking its name from the evocative Maasai phrase meaning “the place of cool waters”, Nairobi is often seen merely as a jumping-off point for Kenya’s many incredible wildlife reserves, but to do so means missing out on a wealth of attractions. You’ll visit a giraffe sanctuary and the Sheldrick Trust’s elephant orphanage and stay at a five-star hotel before your journey back to the UK. International flights, transfers, accommodation, game drives and some meals included.
