Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

At 07h00, we’ll pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or the airport and head out on our first safari leg through the Great Rift Valley escarpment. After our relatively short drive, we’ll arrive at Lake Naivasha, a freshwater Rift Valley lake where we will transition from Jeep to boat for a safari across the lake. On the water, we’ll glide past curious hippos and exotic fish and have a chance to take in the full avian life, such as cormorants and pelicans. Then, we’ll switch gears for a guided walking safari to close-by Crescent Island Sanctuary, where we can stroll by peacefully grazing antelope, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and more. You'll check in at the hotel around lunchtime and have lunch.

We’ll cycle (or take the 4x4 if you choose) to Hell’s Gate National Park for a safari through the gorge, where we can see gazelles, zebras, and others.

Dinner and your overnight stay are at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort.

Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve

We’ll be up early to enjoy the light breaking over the forest and lake, hearing the birds, and seeing the animals come to life. After breakfast, we will check out and set off for Masai Mara National Reserve, which is approximately a drive of 4 to 5 hours. We'll arrive in time for lunch and check-in. Later in the afternoon, we'll head out for an afternoon game drive at the famous Masai Mara National Reserve, home to the Eighth Wonder of the World, the great wildebeest migration. Here, we'll be on the lookout for many animals, such as lions, leopards, Maasai giraffes, lions, Cape buffalos, cheetahs, elephants, and many more.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge.

Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Enjoy an early morning breakfast, as today will be a game-viewing extravaganza! We will traverse the Masai Mara Reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game. Masai Mara National Reserve remains the most exciting wildlife ecosystem in the world. It hosts the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals than any other wildlife park in the region. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wild game species make it a one-stop shop for game-viewing activities.

We will have a picnic lunch at the Mara River as we watch hippos, crocodiles, or maybe the great migration (July – October).

Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge.

Masai Mara National Reserve - Nairobi

After a leisurely breakfast at your lodge/camp, your dedicated driver-guide will assist you with the checkout process and proceed to Nairobi, Kenya’s colorful capital city. On the way, your guide will point out the extinct Longonot volcano, a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s, and its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong’ot, meaning “mountains of many spurs” or “steep ridges”.

You'll arrive in Nairobi in time for lunch and later transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your flight back home.
