Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

In the morning, you will be picked up in Nairobi at your preferred location. Your journey begins with a scenic drive down into the Great Rift Valley, where sweeping views and dramatic escarpments set the tone for the days ahead. Upon reaching Lake Naivasha, you’ll step aboard a boat for a tranquil safari across the shimmering freshwater lake. As you glide over the water, keep an eye out for pods of hippos, fish eagles swooping overhead, and the rich birdlife that thrives along the shores.
After the boat safari, you’ll land on Crescent Island for a guided walking safari. This private sanctuary is home to giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and countless birds, all roaming freely in an open, predator-free environment. Walking among them offers an intimate perspective that’s impossible from a vehicle. After this immersive experience, you’ll head to your lodge in Naivasha to relax, enjoy the gardens or take in the peaceful lakeside atmosphere as the sun sets.

Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru National Park

Today you depart from Naivasha and travel through the scenic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley towards Lake Nakuru National Park. The drive offers beautiful views of rolling hills, open countryside, and local villages, giving you a glimpse of daily life in rural Kenya along the way.

Upon arrival in Lake Nakuru National Park, you begin your game drive immediately. The park is known for its diverse ecosystems, ranging from wooded areas and rocky escarpments to open grasslands surrounding the lake. You search for white and black rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and, with some luck, lions resting in the acacia trees. The lake itself often attracts large numbers of flamingos and other bird species, making it a paradise for bird lovers. After an exciting introduction to the park’s wildlife, you continue to your lodge to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Maasai Mara National Reserve

Today you have a full day to immerse yourself in the magic of the Maasai Mara. You set off early, when the wildlife is most active and the morning light paints the plains in soft golden tones. Your guide will take you deep into the reserve, exploring different ecosystems, from open grasslands teeming with grazers to riverine forests where elephants and buffalo often gather. Throughout the day you’ll search for the Big Five, observe predators on the move, and witness the everyday drama of life in the wild. A picnic lunch is enjoyed under the shade of an acacia tree, with panoramic views stretching out in every direction. In the afternoon, you continue your game drive as the temperatures cool and animals become active again. You return to the lodge in the early evening to unwind, share stories, and enjoy dinner surrounded by the sounds of the savannah.
