Kenya Wildlife Safari

Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi

The journey begins in Kenya's multicultural capital. Get to know this modern city with its colourful markets, welcoming restaurants and atmospheric bars.

Day 2 Lake Nakuru

Pitch tents alongside glistening Lake Nakuru, then head out on an afternoon game drive. Fringed by acacia trees, the lake shimmers pink throughout the year as hundreds of flamingos descend upon it. The savannah area also boasts a wide variety of animals including giraffes, rhinos and lions.

Days 3-4 Lake Naivasha

Discover this birdwatchers' paradise ringed by flat-topped acacia trees. It's possible to spend free time here cruising the lake to spot hippos, trekking out into Hell's Gate National Park to explore its dramatic caves and gorges or simply relaxing in the beautiful lakeside surroundings.

Day 5 Loita Hills

Travel across the Great Rift Valley floor to the Loita Hills, right in the heart of Masai country. Tonight, camp among these friendly, semi-nomadic tribespeople and learn about their proud and ancient culture. Perhaps pick up a local recipe while sharing a campfire meal.

Days 6-7 Masai Mara National Reserve

Help the Masai milk their cattle before tackling the world-renowned Masai Mara: a huge area of woodlands and open plains backed by the striking Esoit Oloololo Escarpment. Safaris through the park might reveal prides of lions, herds of elephants and maybe even a stealthy cheetah. In the rainy season this area is flooded by over a million wildebeest on their annual migration.

Day 8 Nairobi

Travel through bush and back to the urban jungle of Nairobi.
