Itinerary

Our trips throughout Kenya and Tanzania have a maximum group size of six travellers in addition to a CEO and a driver who are both trained safari guides. That means everyone gets a window seat and twice the insight about the astounding wildlife all around you.

Rise early for our drive to Lake Nakuru, which is known for housing a large variety of birds. We’ll arrive at our lodge inside the park around lunchtime. Get settled and head out to spot some rhinos and other wildlife on an afternoon safari drive. (B/L/D)

Enjoy two safari drives; one in the morning and one in the afternoon, catching this park and the wildlife at different times of day. Afterwards, drive along the shimmering shores of Lake Nakuru before stopping at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). At this government institution you will hear a talk from a representative discussing the issues surrounding the poaching of rhinos and what is being done to manage their conservation. (B/L/D)

Immerse yourself in this wildlife haven. Listen to colobus monkeys call from the trees, watch buffaloes stagger through the swamps, and peer through your binoculars searching for lovebirds, ibis, and fish eagles. The name Naivasha comes from the Maasai “Nai’posha”, which means “rough water”, but Lake Naivasha is generally calm as we watch for animals in its depths. (B/L/D)

We can’t start a day of adventure on an empty stomach! Tuck into breakfast before we depart for the famous National Reserve of the Masai Mara. Arrive in the afternoon and take some time to settle into our safari camp before venturing into the reserve on a wildlife safari drive. There will be an excellent chance here of seeing the “big five”: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino. (B/L/D)

Rise and shine for an early morning safari drive into the reserve to try and track the animals that roamed through the savanna during the night. This is the time of day when ungulates like Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelle are at their most active. In the late afternoon, set out on another safari drive to appreciate the timeless landscapes of the Masai Mara. (B/L/D)

Rise early for a final morning wildlife safari drive, enjoying the African sun as it rises over the savannah of the Mara plains. Return to Nairobi in the late afternoon and opt to join the CEO in a farewell dinner. (B/L)

Depart at any time. (B)
