Six days. Three national parks. Endless adventure - get ready to see the very best of Kenya. You’ll chase the Big 5 on game drives, then crank up the thrill with mountain biking, white-water rafting, and zip-lining. Then connect with local culture in a Maasai village. Unforgettable is an understatement.

Itinerary

Hello and welcome, adventurers! We're kicking off 6 days of pure, unfiltered epicness with a game drive that'll set the tone for the whole trip. Meet your crew, grab your camera, and let's hit the road - your adventure starts now.

Hop on! Today, you'll have the option to cruise through Nairobi National Park on overland trucks. Keep your eyes peeled for waterholes, cityscapes and the elusive white rhino. If you like, you'll also have time to visit the Sheldrick Elephant rehabilitation nursery, where you can watch baby elephants play and bathe in the water, and hear the fascinating story of their road to recovery too - just remember you'll need to have bought your ticket in advance on the Sheldrick Website. Passing through the Great Rift Valley, we'll get to our Maasai Mara camp.

In the evening, we'll set up our very first camp of the trip(!). Then you're free to spend the evening chatting & bonding with your crew around a bonfire, and grabbing dinner at the camp.

Accommodation: Bunduz Mara Camp (or similar)
Included Meals: Dinner

It's game drive time (for the full day!). After trucking around in search of Africa's elusive big cats, we'll settle down by a scenic spot for lunch. And then head back on the road for some more wildlife spotting. Oh, and if you're here at the right time of year, you'll even have the chance to witness millions of wildebeest and zebras en route to greener pastures AKA the Great Migration.

Accommodation: Bunduz Mara Camp (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Rise and shine, Kenyan explorers! Today, you'll have the chance to visit a Maasai village, meet members of the tribe & even learn their traditions. Then, it's back to Nairobi. This afternoon, we'll make a quick stop to visit the Kibera Slum in Nairobi. You'll see the incredible work being done by the Mirror of Hope Foundation - working to break the cycle of poverty through education and helping women & children to improve their quality of life. Time to settle down in our camps for the night. So, rest up and keep dreaming of all the adventure that awaits us tomorrow.

Accommodation: Savage Wilderness Camp (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Love adrenaline-pumping activities? Boy, you're gonna love today. White water rafting. Rock climbing. Archery. Ziplining. There's no end to all the fun you can opt in for here. Best part? You've got an onsite restaurant (with a pool & bar) to fuel up as you go.

Bye bye Sagana, you've been epic. We'll hit the road once again, making a quick lunch stop for some delicious DIY sandwiches. Aaaand finally, we're in Amboseli! And of course, it's time for a game drive. So keep an eye out for the some epic wildlife (maybe even against the backdrop of Mt Kilimanjaro!) before we head to our camps for the night.

Accommodation: Kimana Camp (or similar)
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Naww it's the last day already? ! We've  got one final game drive this morning before we make our way back to Nairobi. And with that, our wonderful, epic, surreal trip has sadly come to an end. With full hearts and memories made, it's time to say fond farewells to your new lifelong friends, and to our African adventure.

Included Meals: Breakfast
