    Tour Plan

    Day 1 Ol Pejeta – A Rhino Sanctuary Awaits

    Begin your adventure with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport. Journey north through Kenya's picturesque countryside, with Mount Kenya's towering peaks guiding your way. Arrive at Ol Pejeta Conservancy by midday and enjoy a hearty lunch at your stylish camp. After settling in, take a moment to explore the tranquil surroundings or visit its private waterhole, where you might spot antelopes, giraffes, and rhinos quenching their thirst. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive. Spot majestic elephants roaming the plains, zebras grazing in harmony, and, of course, the critically endangered northern white rhinos that make this conservancy so special. Visit the inspiring Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where rescued chimpanzees thrive in a safe haven. As twilight falls, return to camp for a delightful dinner. Unwind with your favourite drink at the cosy bar while enjoying traditional music and dance performances.

    Day 2 Lake Nakuru – Flamingos and Forested Wonders

    Enjoy a delicious breakfast before leaving Ol Pejeta and driving towards Lake Nakuru National Park. Pass through lush farmlands and scenic highlands, arriving at your lodge by noon, which will give you ample time to indulge in a tasty lunch and even a couple of amenities, such as an ice-cold drink at the bar or a relaxing massage at the spa. Take the afternoon to explore Lake Nakuru's unique landscapes on a game drive. Witness dazzling flamingos in modest numbers lining the lake, white rhinos grazing peacefully on the grasslands, and the occasional leopard resting high in the acacia trees. This park is also home to baboons, waterbucks, and over 400 bird species, making it a haven for bird enthusiasts. As the day draws to a close, return to the lodge for a tasty dinner. Relax by the pool, take in the peaceful ambience of the lodge, or enjoy the shimmering views of the lake from your room's veranda.

    Day 3 Masai Mara – Into the Wild Heart of Kenya

    After breakfast, embark on the drive to the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve via the Great Rift Valley. This journey also serves as an en-route game drive, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking vistas and wildlife spectacles till your destination. Arrive at Simba Lodge Mara by midday for lunch. Take time to settle in, explore the lodge's grounds, or cool off with a refreshing swim before heading out for your afternoon game drive. The Mara's vast savannahs are teeming with wildlife, offering thrilling encounters with pride of lions, herds of buffalos, packs of wild dogs and hyenas, flocks of vultures, and clusters of wildebeests. Return to the lodge at dusk for a delicious dinner. Unwind with a game of pool in the lounge or relax in the comfort of your room, drifting to sleep with the sounds of the wild outside.

    Day 4 Masai Mara – Wildlife Encounters and Optional Adventures

    Start your day with an optional hot air balloon safari, offering a magical sunrise experience as you float above the Mara's endless plains. After landing, celebrate with a hearty breakfast in the bush. Spend the day on game drives, whether you choose a full-day adventure with a picnic lunch or two shorter drives with a midday break at the lodge. Encounter big cats stalking the savannah, scavengers ganging up on lone hunters, and, during the migration season, wildebeests and zebras crossing predator-filled rivers a few tens of thousands at a time. In the afternoon, enhance your experience with an optional visit to a Maasai village. Engage with the community, learn about their traditional way of life, and witness their vibrant dances. As evening falls, enjoy a farewell dinner at the lodge. Share stories of your safari adventures around the campfire, cherishing your final night in this wildlife paradise.

    Day 5 Until Next Time

    After a hearty breakfast, say goodbye to the Masai Mara and begin your journey back to Nairobi. The drive takes you through the stunning Great Rift Valley, offering one last chance to soak in Kenya's natural beauty. Arrive in Nairobi by early afternoon. Enjoy a tasty lunch at a local restaurant before being dropped off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your adventure.
