Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our expert tour guide, who will accompany you on the drive to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a renowned wildlife sanctuary located about 3 hours from Nairobi. Once you arrive at Sweetwaters Serena Camp, check in and enjoy a leisurely lunch with stunning views of Mount Kenya in the background.
In the afternoon, enjoy an exciting game drive, giving you the opportunity to see the Big Five, with special attention to the thriving population of black rhinos. Later, visit the enclosure of the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world and learn about the global conservation efforts to protect this subspecies. Return to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park, a journey of approximately 3 hours. Upon arrival at the Lodge, you’ll receive a warm welcome and have some time to rest and enjoy lunch. In the late afternoon, explore Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its large population of flamingos that create a stunning pink shoreline. Return to the lodge for dinner and relaxation.
After an early breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. Witness the diverse wildlife, including lions, leopards, giraffes, and over 450 bird species. You may also choose to visit the Makalia Falls, a picturesque waterfall within the park.
Afterward, depart for the Maasai Mara National Reserve, a journey of approximately 5 hours. Upon arrival at the lodge, check in and have a leisurely lunch.
In the late afternoon, begin your first game drive in the Maasai Mara, known for its abundant wildlife, including the Big Five. The reserve is particularly famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate from the Serengeti. Return to the lodge for dinner and an evening around the campfire.
Start your day early with an optional hot air balloon safari, available at an additional cost of $450 per person. Drift above the vast savannah as the sun rises, spotting wildlife from a unique vantage point. After landing, indulge in a luxurious champagne breakfast in the bush.
Alternatively, begin your day with a traditional morning game drive, where you may encounter the “Big Five” and other fascinating species. Return to the lodge for lunch and some relaxation.
In the late afternoon, head out for another thrilling game drive, maximizing your chances to spot more wildlife and capture incredible photos. Back to the lodge for dinner. The evening can be spent enjoying Maasai cultural dances or simply unwinding by the fire.
We begin our day with an early morning game drive, taking advantage of the cool morning air when animals are most active. This is a magical time to experience the beauty of the African savannah and perhaps witness a spectacular sunrise over the Mara. After the morning game drive, we'll return to the camp for a hearty breakfast.
Following breakfast, there's an option to visit a nearby Maasai village (at an additional cost) to learn about their rich culture and traditions. As our safari adventure comes to an end, we'll check out of the lodge and begin our journey back to Nairobi.
The drive-back offers one last chance to soak in the stunning landscapes and reflect on the incredible experiences we've had. Upon arrival in Nairobi, we'll either drop you off at your hotel or transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.
