Day 1

Nairobi To Maasai Mara NR

Your journey begins with the hum of Nairobi fading behind as you cross the sun-kissed Great Rift Valley. The landscape opens into golden plains where acacia trees silhouette against the sky. As you enter Masai Mara, a herd of elephants may greet you by the roadside. The day ends with your first game drive — the low rumble of the Jeep, the rustle of grass, the pulse of the wild. The moment you spot your first lion or gazelle, something stirs inside — a deep connection with nature, primal and profound.

Approximate drive time: 5–6 hours.

Day 2

Full Day Maasai Mara NR

Rise with the sun or float above it. The optional balloon safari offers a breathtaking view of the Mara awakening, dotted with wildebeest and shadowed by soaring eagles. Later, your game drive unveils the Big Five in their natural rhythm: lions lounging in the golden light, giraffes gliding silently, and the distant thunder of hooves. The Mara isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling of being completely alive, in awe, and small in the presence of something eternal.

Day 3

Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru NP

After a final sunrise in the Mara, stop at a Masai village en route, where the warmth of tradition, chants, and dance wrap around you. By afternoon, the alkaline waters of Lake Nakuru shimmer with blush-pink flamingos. Keep watch for white rhinos and elusive leopards among the fever trees. Today is a bridge — from wild plains to cultural heartbeats, predators to peace. Enjoy an evening game drive in this flamingo-rich national park.

Approximate drive time: 5 hours.

Mid-range lodge located just outside Lake Nakuru NP

Day 4

Lake Nakuru NP to Lake Naivasha

Wake up to a breathtaking sunrise in Lake Nakuru and head to Lake Naivasha. Sail into serenity with a boat ride across Lake Naivasha, past hippos snorting in the water and fish eagles calling from the trees.

Optional: Take a walking safari or explore the dramatic cliffs of Hell’s Gate. The breeze here feels softer, the pace slower — a moment to breathe. Nature doesn’t always roar; sometimes, it whispers healing into your soul.

Approximate drive time: 2 hours.

Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge

A Mid-range lodge located at Lake Naivasha (Naivasha)

Day 5

Lake Naivasha to Amboseli NP

Journey southward to Amboseli. The dusty roads wind past local villages and rolling hills before the iconic view of Mount Kilimanjaro greets you at sunset, casting a majestic glow across the savannah. Herds of elephants roam in silhouette as your Jeep rolls into camp. Your arrival feels like a homecoming to a place you’ve never been, yet already love.

Approximate drive time: 5–6 hours.

Day 6

Full Day Amboseli NP

Spend the day discovering Amboseli’s contrasting landscapes—dry open plains, swampy wetlands, and woodlands. With Mt. Kilimanjaro as your backdrop, you’ll track some of Africa’s largest elephants, watch buffalos graze in the marshes, and spot crowned cranes and flamingos by the lake edges. Visit Observation Hill for sweeping views of the entire park, then return to your lodge for Dinner and a final evening by the fire before your nights rest.

Day 7

Amboseli NP to Nairobi

As you journey back, your heart carries more than photos. Stop for a celebratory feast at the Carnivore Restaurant, where the flavors of Africa linger on your tongue — grilled meats, laughter, and toasts shared. You return changed. Africa is no longer just a dream; it’s a memory, a story, a part of who you are now.

Approximate drive time: 5 hours.

Optional: Farewell lunch or dinner at Carnivore Restaurant.
