Day 1: Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

Your driver guide will pick you up in a private 4 x 4 Safari Jeep for the easy and scenic road trip
along the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Along our route, we’ll take in the dramatic rise of the
escarpment walls.
Arriving at Lake Naivasha, we’ll take a fun sailing safari across this freshwater lake, gliding past
hippos and catching sight of pelicans, cormorants, and maybe some antelope grazing on the
shore.
Then we’ll hop over to nearby Crescent Island for a guided walking tour of this unique private
reserve. This is the best way to get close to gently grazing zebra, buffalo, giraffe, impala, and
gazelle.
Our third park of the day takes us to Lake Nakuru – a visual feast with the lake bordered by
acacia forest, towering rocky escarpments, waterfalls, and wooded hills. The bird and wildlife
are just as diverse – pelicans, kingfishers, storks, herons, eagles, and sometimes even bright
flamingoes.
Dinner and Overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Day 2: Nakuru - Maasai Mara

We’ll be up early for a game watching drive around the park and then we’ll head out to the
Masai Mara National Reserve.
We’ll make stops to relax and to enjoy the vistas as we head into Masai country.
Arriving at the reserve in the afternoon we’ll break for lunch amidst the rolling hills and golden
grasslands of the great park. The Masai Mara is home to thousands and sometimes hundreds of
thousands of herding wildlife crossing its timeless plains.
We set out on the first of many game drives on our three days in this world-famous reserve. If
there are any special requests you have, please share them with your driver/guide.
Dinner and Overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Day 3: Full Day Maasai Mara

We’ll get up early to start our full day at the park – a day spent having as many game drives as
you wish.
If you happen to be here during Migration (June – October) you’ll witness an endless flow of
herding wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, streaming into the park over the Mara River.
Any time of the year, be ready to discover the widest variety of animal life in the region,
especially the big cats. The park is also home to buffalo, elephants, rhino, giraffes, and
countless more wildlife.
We’ll have a picnic lunch at the Mara River, scene of the animal crossing, and also home to
hippo and waiting crocodiles.
If you’d like to create some other unique memories, we offer several optional activities like a
cultural encounter with the local Maasai people. Visit their nearby village, meet the original
inhabitants of these lands, and learn about their herding lifestyle.
For a soaring adventure over the park, ask your guide about an early morning hot air balloon
safari. You’ll sail above the dawn as it lights up the sprawling fields and first stirrings of wildlife.
Dinner and Overnight stay at your preferred accommodation.

Day 4: Maasai Mara - Nairobi

After breakfast, you shall proceed to Nairobi on a leisurely drive with stops to view landscapes
and attractions along the way.
Heading back to town we’ll pause to enjoy the views and lunch at a scenic location.
We should arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon with drop off at your preferred place.
