Day 01: Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you are met as you disembark and assisted with immigration procedures.  Thereafter,drive towards Kenya's highest mountain, Mt. Kenya.  Cross the Equator near Nanyuki to the Northern Frontier District and on to Samburu National Reserve, arriving for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a safari drive in this physically dramatic park that borrows its name from the nomadic tribe that lives in this area.  

Dinner and overnight at your  LODGE or similar

Day 02:An early morning drive along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, where elephants are often seen to wallow is followed by a sumptuous breakfast at your camp / lodge. PM safari drive in the park during which you are likely to spot the rare species of animals that Samburu is famous for:  Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, long necked gerenuk and the Beisa Oryx.  The bird life is diverse and prolific and includes marshal eagle, pygmy falcons, hornbills and Egyptian geese.

Dinner and overnight at your  LODGE or similar

Day 03:    After breakfast, depart for Kenya’s central region. The drive today  takes you through some of Kenya's richest coffee farming land and past Kikuyu smallholdings. You will arrive at the small market town of Nyeri for lunch. The town hosted the founder of the Boy Scout movement, Lord Baden Powell, in the last years of his life and he is buried there. Your afternoon and night will be spent animal viewing under “the artificial moon” from the lodge’s balconies - as animals come to drink and lick salt at thewatering hole below.  Other activities that can be organized in this region include game drives in the salient as well as nature walks to the Chania River.

Dinner and overnight at  LODGE or similar

Day 04:Check out after breakfast, and depart for Nakuru, making a brief stop at Nyahururu Falls. These falls – also known as Thomson’s Falls - were discovered in 1883 by Joseph Thomson, a Scottish geologist and naturalist. The Ewaso Narok River drops a sheer 243 feet over a ledge of volcanic rock, to create these falls. Proceed to Nakuru, arriving for lunch at your camp.  In the afternoon, enjoy a safari drive around the lake - home to hundreds of flamingos. Lions, buffalo, waterbuck, baboons and many other species of animals can also be found in the surrounding acacia woods and with luck you may spot a rhino or a leopard! The park has earned a reputation as a haven for endangered species- particularly the Rothschild Giraffe as well as the black and white rhino.

Dinner and overnight at FLAMINGO HILL CAMP


Day 05: Breakfast at your lodge followed by departure to Lake Naivasha where you will spend your day at leisure. Lake Naivasha which lies among extinct volcanoes on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. The fresh water lake – fringed by papyrus – was originally called Nai’posha by the Masai, which means rough waters.  This was later misspelt as Naivasha and this name has since stuck. The area is one of Kenya’s prime agricultural regions owing to the fertile soils and water supply from the lake.  Your afternoon will be spent enjoying the amenities of your lodge / camp.  There are a variety of activities to be enjoyed in this region: Boat rides on the lake, sundowners, bird walks, horseriding as well as cycling. Two smaller lakes nearby; Oloidien and Sonachi - a bright green crater lake - are worth exploring.  Safari drives to the nearby Hell’s Gate National Park can be arranged. The name Hell’s Gate is derived from the park’s predominant features - a pair of massive red tinged cliffs framing a geothermically active interior of steam vents and bubbling springs.  Unlike many other parks, walking is permitted in Hells’ Gate which makes it ideal for rock climbing and trekking.

Dinner and overnight aLODGE or similar

Day 06:    After breakfast, depart for  Masai Mara National Reserve.  Arriving for lunch.  After lunch, go on your first safari drive in this world famous park that plays host to the “greatest spectacle” on earth - the annual migration that takes place between the months of July and October. The park is watered by the Mara and Talek rivers and opens onto the Serengeti plains of Tanzania. The park abounds with plains game – eland, topi, gazelles and many more – which provide a rich choice of menu for the predators that hunt in this pristine wilderness. Numerous species of birds – both resident and migratory – have been recorded here

Dinner and overnight at MARA SENTRIM  MARA SOPA LODGE or similar

Day 07:     A full day to enjoy the unlimited animal viewing opportunities in this reserve.  Set in the heart of Africa’s Great Plains, the Masai Mara boasts 1,672 sq. kilometres of unspoilt wilderness. It offers some of the best animal and bird-viewing not only in Kenya, but in Africa. The views across the rolling golden grasslands studded with acacia trees, rivers and forests are dazzling, the sense of space overwhelming.  During your morning and afternoon drives, you will probably see lion, buffalo, elephant and with luck cheetah, rhino or even a leopard!

Dinner and overnight at LODGE or similar

Day 08:     This morning, a last opportunity for animal viewing and maybe your "dream" photograph.  After breakfast, drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the early afternoon.
