Kenya Explorer

Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi

Get a feel for urban African life in bustling Nairobi.

Days 2-3 Samburu National Reserve

The bright traditional dresses of the Samburu tribespeople are highly visible on a drive across the foothills of Mt Kenya. Grab the opportunity to tour a village to learn more about these and other nomadic communities. Within the Samburu, look out for endangered Grevy's zebras and crocs submerged in the muddy waters of the Ewaso Nyiro River that meanders through the otherwise parched landscape.

Day 4 Lake Nakuru

Witness one of the world's greatest spectacles - thousands of pink flamingos and other water birds feeding in the shallow waters of Lake Nakuru. An afternoon game drive provides a look at the park's four-legged attractions, perhaps even the rare white-stockinged Rothschild's giraffes.

Day 5 Lake Naivasha

Spend the morning watching hippos and buffaloes wallow in lakeside swamps and listen out for the chatter of black and white colobus monkeys in the treetops. Maybe cruise the lake in the afternoon sunlight to spot the many bird and animal species that live here.

Days 6-7 Masai Mara National Reserve

With everything from elephants and wildebeest to lions and hyenas, the variety of wildlife in the famed Masai Mara is breathtaking. It's even possible to take an early morning balloon ride to watch the wild park come to life at sunrise.

Day 8 Nairobi

Return to the safari capital of the world in cosmopolitan Nairobi.
