Day 1
Nairobi - Lake Naivasha
Nairobi - Lake Naivasha
We’ll pick you up in Nairobi early, whether from your hotel, residence, or the airport, and embark on our safari northbound to Lake Naivasha. The brief journey will see you pass through some stunning terrain, with ridges, rocky outcrops, and volcanic detritus all around. Next to Lake Naivasha is Hells Gate National Park, one of the few parks in Kenya that allows cycling safaris.
After your morning of adventure, your driver will take you to your chosen accommodation inside the national park where you will be served lunch and given time to relax. The afternoon takes you on even more adventures, with a boat ride out on Lake Naivasha and chances to see the thousands of flamingos that flock here for feeding and mating rituals. A further walking safari on Crescent Island will give ornithologists a perfect chance to spot the famed birds of the lake.

After breakfast, you’ll head straight up to Masai Mara. Part of the Great Plains that stretches across the border with Tanzania and into the Serengeti, this national reserve is home to some of the highest concentrations of wild animals on the continent. All of the big five of African safari reside here.
Along with hundreds more species your guide will be able to help you spot and identify. This starts as soon as you pass through the gates of the park and take a game drive to your chosen camp or lodge, where you’ll then take lunch.
The afternoon takes you back out onto the plains for another game drive and exploration of this majestic landscape. Upon your return to your accommodation, you’ll have dinner and a chance to rest in preparation for the day ahead.

Day 3
Game Drive In Mara
Game Drive In Mara
Watching day is a magical experience no matter where you are, but in a hot air balloon floating over the Masai Mara is one of the more wonderful ways to start the day. Wake up before day break and ascend up over the plains, with the peace of the night being broken by the dawn chorus, just about audible all the way up in the basket.
Once back on solid ground, you’ll have a champagne breakfast with views over the grasslands to accompany your meal. The balloon trip is an additional extra at $480 per person, you can opt for a morning game drive instead.
The afternoon will take you into the picturesque landscape once more, with a game drive through the park. Be ready to spot the big five, and the other mammals and birds that you’re here to see. Tell your guide what you’re hoping to see on your final full day and they will work with other guides in the park to see if they can fulfil your dreams. Return to your accommodation in the evening, to take your last dinner.
