Tour Overview
No country, perhaps, is more synonymous with a classic African safari than Kenya. With endless grasslands sprinkled with acacia trees, this is ‘Out of Africa’ and ‘Born Free’ country. Whether it’s exploring Lake Nakuru N.P, an excellent small park in East Africa, or the emblematic Masai Mara, wildlife is abundant all year round. During the migration season, the Mara as it is affectionately known is also home to one of the greatest sights of the natural world: millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing a crocodile-infested river on their great migration through the savannah.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Start Nairobi; To Lake Naivasha; Optional Afternoon Nature Walk
Location: Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, Elementaita
Accommodation: Serville Elementaita or similar
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
On arrival, we meet with those not travelling on the group flight at our
hotel in Nairobi. We drive north to the edge of the escarpment over the Rift
Valley before descending into the valley and to Lake Naivasha, where we will
enjoy a morning boat ride. We will continue for a further 1.5 hours to Lake
Elementaita, where we will check into our lodge and enjoy lunch. In the
afternoon, there will be an optional ( at additional cost) guided nature walk
available.
Day 2 : Morning And Afternoon Game Drives In Lake Nakuru N.P.
Location: Lake Nakuru
Accommodation: Serville Elementaita or similar
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Early start today for a 30 minute drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. We
will enjoy a full day of game drives today, with a packed lunch from our
lodge to maximise game viewing time. We hope to see many plains game
including gazelle, impala and giraffe and we will also be on the look-out for
predators as well as unique bird life.Â
The national park (285 km sq) is world-renowned for its (dwindling) flamingo
population made famous by Denys Finch Hatton's flight over it in the film
'Out of Africa'. Nakuru is also the best place in East Africa for White
rhino, and it is not unusual to see at least a dozen in a day. Coupled with
this, there is a healthy buffalo population, many other plains game and
frequent leopard sightings.
Day 3 : Days 3 - 5 Masai Mara
Location: Maasai Mara National Reserve
Accommodation: Camp
Accommodation Name: Enkorok Tented Camp or similar
Meals Included: No Meals
A long (approx 5hrs including comfort stops), beautiful and bumpy drive to
the Mara. We will arrive in the Mara early afternoon, in time for lunch (
not included today, for your own account) and check in afterwards. This
afternoon we will enjoy the first of several game drives in this remarkable
game area, departing at 4 pm. Returning to the lodge for dinner, you can
enjoy a relaxed evening in beautiful surroundings.
During time off you can rest in your private tents, the lounge tent or watch
game go by from the deck of your tent. If you fancy a lie-in one day or an
optional nature walk, this can easily be arranged.
The Masai Mara is one of the most famous ecosystems in the world. This vast
grassland is teeming with life; plains game including wildebeest, gazelle,
topi, zebra and buffalo abound in the rolling savannah, and never far away
lay the predators; cheetah, lion and hyena. Between mid-August to late
October one of the greatest spectacles on Earth takes place in the Masai Mara
- the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra
trampling their way across the long grass. Nothing is guaranteed on safari,
but with the help of our brilliant guides you should see and learn a huge
amount about the Masai Mara's resident wildlife during our game drives.
As a climax, there is the also the option of taking a sunrise balloon ride
over the African plains (subject to the weather conditions and availability).
Day 6 : Early Morning Game Drive Or Optional Walk; Transfer To Nairobi.
Location: Nairobi
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Eka Hotel or similar
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After a final early morning game drive, we leave after breakfast heading back
towards Nairobi. A picnic lunch will be taken en route. We spend our last
night in Nairobi.

The trip ends today in Nairobi. Those on the group flights will be taken this

Accommodation
We stay in four-star properties throughout this itinerary. Our first two nights are spent near Lake Elementaita and our last night is in Nairobi. The rest of the trip, we typically stay at Mara Kimana Camp within the Masai Mara National Reserve. The camp is on the banks of Sekenani River where wildlife can commonly be seen coming for a drink. We stay in permanent tents with private bathrooms in this classic African safari camp. We sleep on proper beds and there is electricity in the tents plus hot water for showers.
Food
*All breakfasts, 5 lunches and 5 dinners included.* Meals are generally taken at the lodge or camp but we may take pack lunches with us depending on the planned activities and game drives on a particular day. Breakfasts are generally made up of a selection of fruit, cereal, yogurt, bread as well, potentially, as some cooked elements. Lunches and dinners will normally have a variety of European and local dishes. There is also tea served before the late afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara. Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. *Water* Purified water is provided by the guide throughout your trip in 10litre drums carried on top of the vehicles, so you need only bring a reusable water bottle. In the lodges, generally, 1 bottle of water is provided free of charge so we suggest you fill your water bottle before you leave the vehicles for the evening. Otherwise, you will be able to purchase water at the lodge bar.
