Detailed Itinerary

Starts From Nairobi
Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve
Your safari journey starts with a warm welcome from the team as they pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi. After a quick briefing, settle into a comfortable 4x4 jeep for a scenic drive to Samburu National Reserve. Arriving by midday, you’ll have time to relax over lunch before heading out on your first game drive. Here in Samburu, prepare for unique sightings of animals you won’t find in many other parks—like the rare Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, and reticulated giraffe. Your day wraps up with a delicious dinner and a night spent surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the wild.
Day 2: Full Day in Samburu
Get ready for a full day of adventure in Samburu! After an early breakfast, set off on morning and afternoon game drives through this stunning landscape, where you might spot big cats, elephants, and perhaps a crocodile sunning by the river. In between game drives, savor lunch and some downtime at your lodge. By evening, you’ll return from an exciting day with new memories, ready for dinner and a good night’s rest.
Day 3: Samburu to Ol Pejeta Conservancy
After breakfast, it’s time to head south to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, known for its incredible conservation work, especially with rhinos. Arriving in time for lunch, you’ll soon be back out exploring, with a chance to see the “Big Five” and visit Kenya’s only sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees. Tonight, settle into a cozy camp, where dinner awaits and the calm of the conservancy surrounds you.
Day 4: Ol Pejeta to Lake Nakuru National Park
This morning, enjoy breakfast before setting off for Lake Nakuru National Park. Known for its flocks of flamingos and rich birdlife, Lake Nakuru offers breathtaking landscapes and a good chance to see rhinos, giraffes, and leopards. After an afternoon game drive, relax over dinner and soak in the views from your lodge, surrounded by the unique beauty of Nakuru.
Day 5: Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, it’s off to the scenic Lake Naivasha, known for its hippos and birdlife. Once you check in and settle, you can opt for a boat ride on the lake (additional cost), a popular way to spot hippos and catch sight of fish eagles and other water birds. A visit to nearby Crescent Island is also an option, where you can experience a walking safari among zebras and antelopes. Return to your lodge for a restful night.
Day 6: Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
Following breakfast, you’ll travel to the famous Masai Mara, arriving by lunchtime. The Masai Mara is teeming with wildlife, and your afternoon game drive will introduce you to its wonders. From elephants and lions to cheetahs and buffaloes, the Mara offers one of the richest game experiences in Africa. After a full day, you’ll be ready for dinner and a peaceful night in camp.
Day 7: Full Day in Masai Mara
A full day in the Masai Mara awaits, with game drives in the morning and afternoon for maximum sightings. You may even catch the thrilling scenes of predators on the hunt or herds grazing peacefully. For a unique perspective, an optional hot air balloon safari is available (additional $450) at dawn, giving you an incredible bird’s-eye view over the plains. After a memorable day, enjoy dinner under the Mara’s starry sky.
