Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi – Lake Nakuru
Our company representative will provide meet and greet services at the airport , and brief you about your safari as well as introduce your driver guides who will be taking you for the safari to the group.
Afterwards, proceed to Lake Nakuru National park, arriving for lunch at your lodge. (though this will be determined by your flights arrival time in Nairobi). Afternoon at rest, and later proceed for a game drive in the park.
Meals and overnight at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge/similar.
Day 2: Lake Nakuru – Lake Naivasha
Early morning game drive, then return to your lodge for breakfast. Later, leave for the nearby papyrus-fringed Lake Naivasha, for a relaxed day/afternoon. With over 400 species of bird, this freshwater lake is a birding Paradise. Along the lake’s fabled waters, we are bound to see some of the area’s more intriguing species—hippos, giraffes, buffalo and even the arboreal colobus monkey. Lake Naivasha lies in the Great Rift Valley and the name derives from the local Maasai name Nai’posha, meaning “rough water” because of the sudden storms which can arise. Lunch at your lodge in Naivasha, and then in the afternoon, we suggest the following activities:
Proceed for a boat ride, then visit crescent Island for a guided walk or visit the nearby Elsamere Conservation Center, home to the late Joy & George Adamson – pioneers in the field of conservation, watch a film on their conservation work and later a boat ride on the lake followed by 4 o’clock tea & snacks.
Transfer back to your hotel.
Meals and overnight at Sawela Lodge or Similar.
Day 3: Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara
After early breakfast, leave for Masai Mara, arriving for lunch at your camp.
The Maasai Mara is Kenya’s finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Maasai people live in peace with one another.
No matter how much you have thought about Africa, this is more than you expected—the big five-Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino and Cape buffalo are in abundance.
Afternoon game drive, then return to your camp.
Meals and overnight at Enkorok Mara Camp or Similar
Day 4: Masai Mara Full Day
After breakfast, depart the camp with picnic lunches for a full day game viewing, returning to your camp in the late afternoon to freshen up and later dinner.
Today we will be spending in the vast eco-system of the Mara searching for the big five and much more. We are in Kenya for our dreams, the Masai Mara. We spend another exciting day here, giving us the luxury of time to appreciate the region’s rich wildlife by game drives. Zebra, wildebeest, topi and hippos are common, as are leopards, lions and cheetahs.
You also have an optional balloon safari at an additional cost — Many call it a once in a lifetime experience, once you are up, you won’t want to come down, and once you land, champagne breakfast awaits you. Game viewing is great from the air with the opportunity for beautiful pictures. It’s worth noting that every game drive is different from the other, and missing one is missing out on the fun.
During our stay we also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people at an additional cost to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.
Meals and overnight at Enkorok Mara Camp or Similar camp.
