Karibu Kenya! Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta Airport or pick-up from your Nairobi hotel, you’ll be transferred to our Nairobi office for a quick briefing and meet your Kenyan guide. Depart via the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway, stopping at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to soak in the panoramic views of Mt. Longonot, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Elementaita. Arrive in Nakuru in time for a picnic lunch, then head straight into Lake Nakuru National Park for an exciting afternoon game drive. Look out for endangered white and black rhinos, flocks of flamingos (season-dependent), Rothschild giraffes, and more. Overnight stay at a lodge or hotel in Nakuru.
After breakfast, drive toward the world-famous Maasai Mara. An optional stop at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride (extra cost) can be arranged based on your preference. Break for lunch in Narok Town before continuing to the Mara, arriving by mid-afternoon. Check in, relax briefly, and then head out for your first evening game drive in this iconic reserve. Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, depart with your packed lunch for a full-day game drive across the vast savannahs of the Maasai Mara. Renowned for the Great Migration and home to Africa’s Big Five, the reserve promises thrilling wildlife sightings including lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos. Visit the Mara River crossing point (seasonal), where crocodiles and predators await the migrating herds. Return by 5:00 PM with time to unwind, take a nature walk, or visit a nearby Maasai village (optional). Dinner and overnight at your camp/lodge.
Begin your day early with a sunrise game drive—perfect for catching predators in action. Return to your lodge/camp for breakfast, then check out and head toward the Isebania border. After immigration and visa procedures, meet your Tanzanian guide and continue your journey into Serengeti National Park. Enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge or camp, where dinner and a restful night await.
Today is all about exploring the magic of the Serengeti. Famous for its annual wildebeest migration and immense herds of zebra, the park also boasts lions, cheetahs, elephants, and hyenas. With a packed lunch in hand, set out for a full day of game viewing across different areas of the park. Cross rivers, cruise open plains, and enjoy endless wildlife encounters. Return to your lodge/camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, enjoy a final short morning game drive in the Serengeti before journeying toward Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you may choose to stop at the Olduvai Gorge (optional entry fee), the famed archaeological site often referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind.” Continue to your lodge or camp near Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight stay.
Enjoy breakfast at your lodge, then descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater—one of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife destinations. With your packed lunch, spend the day spotting black rhinos, elephants, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and a variety of bird species. The crater offers one of the best chances to see the Big Five in a single day. After the game drive and picnic, ascend from the crater and begin the drive to Arusha. Overnight stay in Arusha on bed and breakfast basis.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. Depending on your travel plans, you’ll either be transferred to the shuttle bus for your return to Nairobi, taken to Arusha Airport for your onward flight, or assisted with arrangements to continue your journey to Dar es Salaam by road.
