Upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be greeted by our representative and transferred to your Nairobi hotel.
Spend the afternoon at leisure, unwinding from your journey or exploring optional city attractions such as the Karen Blixen Museum or the Giraffe Centre. In the evening, settle into your room for a comfortable overnight stay, ready to begin your safari adventure the following day.
Overnight stay
After breakfast at your hotel, depart Nairobi and drive north towards the Aberdare Range. You’ll pass through scenic highlands, farmland, and small towns en route.
Arrive at your base hotel or lodge for lunch, then transfer to a tree lodge or a game-viewing property within the Aberdares (if included in your lodge choice). Spend the afternoon and evening observing wildlife that visits nearby salt licks or waterholes—elephants, buffalos, and various antelope species are common here. The high altitude lends a cool, misty ambiance, providing a distinct contrast to other Kenyan parks. Enjoy dinner at your lodge and an overnight stay surrounded by nature’s peaceful sounds.
Overnight stay
After an early breakfast, depart the Aberdares and descend into the Great Rift Valley, marveling at breathtaking views along the way.
Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park by midday, where you will head to your lodge or camp for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive around the lake’s shores, famous for their seasonal display of pink flamingos. Keep an eye out for black and white rhinos, which thrive in this protected area, and you may also spot leopards lounging in the acacia trees. Conclude the day with dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge, listening to the wildlife activity around the lake.
Overnight stay
Rise early for breakfast, then set off toward the southwest en route to the Masai Mara. As you cross the Rift Valley floor and approach the Mara region, you’ll notice the landscape shifting to rolling grasslands dotted with lone acacia trees.
Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for lunch, followed by a short rest. In the late afternoon, head out on your first Masai Mara game drive, scanning the plains for elephants, giraffes, zebras, and big cats such as lions and cheetahs. Return at sunset to your accommodation for dinner, reflecting on the day’s exciting wildlife encounters.
Overnight stay
Today you will explore the Masai Mara in depth. Set out early for a morning game drive, when predators are often active. Depending on the season (typically July to October), you may be lucky enough to witness the Great Migration—massive herds of wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River.
Between game drives, enjoy leisure time at your camp or lodge. In the afternoon, venture back onto the savannah for another game drive, hoping to spot any species that eluded you earlier. Return for dinner and a final overnight stay under the star-filled African sky, accompanied by the distant sounds of nocturnal wildlife.
Overnight stay
Bid farewell to the Masai Mara on one last early morning game drive, seizing any remaining photo opportunities. After returning to the lodge for breakfast, gather your belongings and depart for Nairobi.
Enjoy a final game drive or bush walk, relax at the lodge, and end with a memorable farewell dinner under the stars.
