Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Your safari begins with an early departure from Nairobi as you travel through the Great Rift Valley toward the Masai Mara.

Along the way, you'll see rural communities and dramatic landscapes before reaching one of Kenya's most wildlife-rich regions.
After settling into your accommodation, head out for your first afternoon game drive. The open grasslands provide opportunities to encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, antelope, lions, and cheetahs.

Early morning is particularly rewarding for predator sightings and photography as animals become active across the plains.
Continue searching for the Big Five while observing large herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, buffalo, and other plains game. Lions and cheetahs may be seen hunting or resting, while leopards can sometimes be found around wooded areas. Depending on the season, migratory wildlife can add another spectacular dimension to the experience.

Upon arrival, explore Lake Nakuru National Park in search of rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, and predators. The lake and surrounding habitats also support an impressive range of birdlife.

Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
Continue from Lake Nakuru toward Lake Naivasha through the scenic Rift Valley. The shorter travel distance allows more time to appreciate the surrounding landscape and enjoy a slower-paced freshwater experience. The lake's lush environment provides a striking contrast to the drier wildlife landscapes visited earlier in the safari.
Once at Naivasha, enjoy the lake surroundings and choose optional activities according to your interests. A boat safari can provide close views of hippos and waterbirds, while a guided walking experience on Crescent Island offers opportunities to see giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and other wildlife on foot. The day provides a welcome change from conventional vehicle-based game drives.

Enjoy an afternoon game drive after settling into your accommodation. Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds, but the park also supports buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelope, hippos, and numerous bird species.
