Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up in Nairobi, followed by a scenic drive to Lake Naivasha. Along the way, stop at a viewpoint to admire the stunning Great Rift Valley and capture its expansive vistas. Arrive at your Naivasha lodge by midday, where a delicious lunch awaits. Take some time to relax in your comfortable accommodation or explore the lodge’s lush surroundings and elegant amenities. In the afternoon, enjoy a serene boat ride on Lake Naivasha. Witness pink-backed pelicans glide gracefully across the water as their reflection creates rippling patterns; a lone African buffalo wades along the shallows, accompanied by flocks of oxpeckers perched on its back; and a family of baboons gather under the shade of fig trees, their antics bringing life and energy to the tranquil lakeside. As the sun sets, return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a luscious drink by the campfire. Take in the peaceful evening immersed in the tranquil lakeside ambience.

After a leisurely breakfast, depart for Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive at your lodge by lunchtime and enjoy a warm welcome with a sumptuous meal. While waiting for your upcoming expedition, indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment, take a refreshing dip in the pool, or spot wildlife wandering near the camp’s outskirts and waterhole if you’re eager for early animal encounters. In the afternoon, embark on a thrilling game drive through the park to marvel at the local wildlife living their everyday lakeside lives. Along the water’s edge, a small gathering of flamingos wades gracefully as herons stalk the shallows for fish. Black and white rhinos roam the grassy savannahs, their massive frames moving with surprising grace. High in the treetops, a sneaky leopard lounges lazily, its piercing eyes scanning the ground below for unsuspecting prey. Return to the lodge in the evening for a delightful dinner. Unwind in the rustic, safari-themed bar before regaining the comforts of your room and calling it a night.

After breakfast, bid farewell to Lake Nakuru and set off for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive takes you past the vibrant town of Narok and through the scenic Great Rift Valley, offering you majestic views to revel in until we reach our destination. Arrive at camp in time for lunch. Settle into your accommodation and explore the stylish amenities to partake in during your stay. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive in the Mara, traversing golden savannahs and lush riverine forests. Keep your eyes peeled for the renowned Big Five, along with towering giraffes grazing acacia trees, cheetahs prowling the plains looking for their next meal, and imposing elephants bathing in the mud to protect themselves from the heat. As the day winds down, return to the lodge for a delicious sundowner dinner. Spend the evening recounting the day’s adventures by the campfire under the moonlight or at the bar with a stimulating drink.

On this day, opt for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch to feast upon in the bush or two game drives with a midday break at camp. Furthermore, two fantastic optional activities are available for you to indulge in. Soar the early-morning skies with a hot air balloon ride, offering a bird’s-eye view of the endless Mara plains, and go on an afternoon visit to a traditional Maasai village to learn about their vibrant culture, watch traditional dances, and engage with the community. On your game drives, you can expect to spot lions basking in the sun (or, with luck, on a thrilling hunt), slender gazelles playfully bouncing by and curiously looking on at you, and, if the season allows, millions of wildebeests and zebras traverse the savannah in their Great Migration. Return to the lodge in the evening for a delicious dinner and your last night in the Mara. Reflect on your magical experiences under the Mara’s starlit sky, at the bar, or in the comforts of your intimate tent.

Begin your journey back to Nairobi, passing through the scenic Great Rift Valley and offering your final glimpses of the breathtaking Kenyan landscapes. Arrive in the city by early afternoon, just in time for lunch, followed by a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your unforgettable 5-day safari adventure. We hope this tour was magical enough for you to want to come back for another fantastic expedition through the untamed savannah wildscapes.
