On day one of your Kenyan safari, we'll pick you up from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Then, it's off to Aberdare National Park in the Central Highlands. Lunch awaits at our unique 'tree lodge', offering prime views of a mesmerizing natural waterhole and saltlick, lit up for nighttime viewing. Spot elephant, rhino, buffalo, and more. Your lodge, elevated on stilts, provides excellent game-viewing from wooden decks and balconies, even after dusk. Enjoy your first safari dinner in this enchanting setting.
After breakfast, we head out of Lake Nakuru National Park on a game drive before a short drive to Lake Naivasha, another beautiful lake in the Great Rift Valley. Surrounding the lake are forests with impressive acacia trees, home to birds and black-and-white colobus monkeys. Enjoy a boat ride to see hippos and water birds, then take a guided walk in Crescent Island Game Sanctuary to see antelope, zebra, and giraffes. Next, we stop for lunch and refuel in the Masai town of Narok before entering the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Keep an eye out for herbivores like waterbuck, zebra, and gazelle expertly pointed out by your Kenyan safari guide. Depending on the season, you might witness the wildebeest migration between the Masai Mara and Serengeti National Park. Reflect on the day's adventures over dinner at your cozy camp/lodge.
After an early breakfast and with packed picnic lunches by the Mara River, we spend the entire day on a game drive. Look out for big cats on the grassy plains and rocky kopjes. The Masai Mara is known for its large prides of lions and cheetahs hunting in family groups. Other predators like jackals, hyenas, and bat-eared foxes are active in the morning. The acacia woodlands are home to giraffes, elands, impalas, topis, and hartebeests. The Mara River hosts half-submerged hippos and some of Africa's largest crocodiles. You can opt for a hot air balloon safari for $425 per person, floating over the plains and rivers at dawn to watch wildlife below. Another option is a visit to a Masai village for $20 per person, offering an interactive insight into the culture of the semi-nomadic Maasai warriors, deeply connected to the land and animals of the Mara.
On your final day on safari, enjoy a last early morning game drive in the Mara followed by breakfast at your camp or lodge, and then drive back to Nairobi. On the way we stop on the Great Rift Valley escarpment to take in the sweeping views of the lakes, rivers and arid plains. We then transfer you to your Nairobi hotel or the airport for your onward flight.
