Into the Wild - Your Journey begins in the Legendary Masai Mara

Into the Wild - Your Journey begins in the Legendary Masai Mara

Your personal safari guide will meet you at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, and together you’ll set off on a scenic 4–5 hour drive into the Great Rift Valley and onwards to the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve. Along the way, enjoy glimpses of rural life and rolling landscapes before arriving at your lodge in time for a delicious lunch. After some rest, head out for your first afternoon game drive, where the savannah comes alive with elephants, zebras, and maybe even a cheetah on the move.

The 2 days offer a full immersion into the wild with morning and afternoon game drives. Spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—alongside giraffes and vibrant birdlife. Your guide will tailor the pace for your family, with optional visits to a Maasai village for cultural insights. In the evening, relax by the campfire or under the stars at your comfortable safari lodge.

Lake Nakuru - White Rhinos and Pink Flamingos

After a hearty breakfast, you'll say goodbye to the wide plains of the Mara and set off on a picturesque drive north to Lake Nakuru National Park. This 4-hour journey takes you through scenic hills, valleys, and small towns, offering a glimpse of Kenyan life along the way. Upon arrival, check in to your lodge nestled within the park and enjoy a fresh, hot lunch before taking some time to relax and recharge.

Later in the afternoon, head out on a game drive through this vibrant park, known for its birdlife and its efforts to protect endangered rhinos. Flocks of flamingos often color the lake’s edge in pink, while white and black rhinos graze in the open grasslands. You might also spot buffalo, waterbuck, and elusive leopards hiding in the acacia trees. As the sun begins to set, return to your lodge for dinner and a peaceful evening in this scenic lakeside haven.

Tranquil Lake Naivasha - Walking Safari and Boat Adventure

Start your morning with a sunrise game drive to soak in the last sights of Lake Nakuru’s wildlife before heading south to Lake Naivasha, a peaceful freshwater lake just under two hours away. Check in to your scenic lodge by the lake and enjoy lunch overlooking the water, where hippos often peek above the surface. After a little rest, your afternoon offers one of the most unique and family-friendly wildlife encounters of the trip.

Venture to Crescent Island, a private sanctuary where you can safely walk among freely roaming giraffes, zebras, and gazelles. This guided walking safari provides an up-close, non-intrusive way to experience Kenya’s herbivores without the need for vehicles. From there, you’ll set out on a boat safari across Lake Naivasha. Glide past floating hippos and watch for fish eagles diving from above. The golden light reflecting on the water creates a perfect end to the day.

From Safari Trails to Ocean Tides – Diani Beach Escape

After breakfast, your safari guide will transfer you back to Nairobi, where you'll catch your scheduled flight to Mombasa on Kenya’s tropical coast. A short transfer brings you to Diani Beach, a coastal paradise known for its soft white sand, swaying palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Upon arrival at your resort, settle in and take your first deep breath of ocean air—it’s time to relax.

Over the next four days, enjoy the perfect balance of rest and recreation. Swim in the warm sea, lounge under palm trees, or explore the beach on a camel ride. If you're feeling adventurous, consider a snorkeling trip to the coral reefs, a visit to the Colobus Monkey Sanctuary, or a full-day dhow cruise with dolphin spotting and Swahili seafood.
