Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

Your safari journey begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi, traveling through the majestic Great Rift Valley. Upon arrival at Lake Nakuru, check into Lanet Matfam Resort and enjoy a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive through the park, famous for its population of rhinos, lions, buffalo, and diverse bird species. Thousands of flamingos often flock to the shores, creating a spectacular pink hue around the lake. After your drive, return to the resort for dinner and relaxation.

Day 2: Lake Nakuru to Lake Bogoria

Day 4: Lake Naivasha to Maasai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, leave the serene Naivasha behind and journey to the iconic Maasai Mara. Check into Mara Spring Camp and have lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive. The Maasai Mara is world-famous for its incredible wildlife, including the Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos – as well as cheetahs, zebras, and giraffes. After your drive, return to the camp for dinner and rest under the African skies.

Day 5: Full Day in Maasai Mara

Spend a full day immersed in the wonders of the Maasai Mara. Begin with an early morning game drive to catch the wildlife at its most active, followed by breakfast back at the camp. You’ll enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, with plenty of opportunities to spot predators like lions and cheetahs. If you're visiting during the Great Migration, you'll witness one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles as thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River. End the day with a delicious dinner and a relaxing evening at the camp.

Day 6: Maasai Mara to Nairobi

After breakfast at the camp, you’ll pack your bags and start your journey back to Nairobi. There will be no morning game drive, allowing for a more leisurely departure.
