TOUR Itinerary
On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our local representative in Nairobi for a brief meet and greet. Later, proceed to your hotel in for check-in.
Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is the cosmopolitan city in East Africa and is located along the Nairobi River. It makes a great starting place for safari tours in Africa in and around Kenya. Nairobi, the fourth-largest city in Africa, is a lively and exciting place.
Although it has a reputation that discourages tourists from staying long, there are some fascinating attractions here, including its cafe culture, wild nightlife, National Museum, Karen Blixen Museum, and, most significantly, the only urban game reserve in the world, where wild lions and buffalo roam. Don’t forget to stop by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant orphanage.
Following lunch, our driver will arrive to pick you up for a trip to the giraffe centre where you’ll get the opportunity to interact with the giraffes and take pictures with them.
Overnight stay at the hotel in Nairobi.
After an early breakfast, check out from the hotel and travel to Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley.
Upon reaching Lake Navaisha, hop-on a boat ride to enjoy a walking safari on Crescent island. Crescent Island is a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife species, including giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and more. Unlike traditional vehicle-based safaris, walking safaris allow visitors to observe wildlife in a natural and unobtrusive manner.
You can get up close and personal with these animals, as animals are often more relaxed without the noise and disruption of vehicles, allowing for better observation of their natural behaviors.
After this immersive experience, we will proceed to Lake Nakuru and check-in at the hotel.

Flamingos , Pelicans, Cormorants, fish Eagles along with migratory species such as waders, ducks, and raptors, call Lake Naivasha its home. Migratory birds arrive at Lake Naivasha during the wet season, which spans from November to May. During this time, the lake’s water levels are higher, and there’s an increase in food availability, attracting thousands of birds from Europe, Asia, and other parts of Africa who travel along the East African Flyway.
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing at Lake Nakuru National.
Lake Nakuru National Park is a gem teeming with abundant flora and fauna. The lake supports much of the wildlife in this national park and is fondly called the “pink lake,” due to the abundance of flamingos here. While flamingos are the most famous residents of Lake Nakuru, it is one of Kenya’s premier rhino sanctuaries, providing vital protection for both black and white rhinoceros populations.
On the safari, you will have a high chance of spotting these endangered animals during their visit, contributing to conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding these majestic creatures.

The Masai Mara National Reserve covers more than 1500 square kilometers in the southwest of Kenya. It is without a doubt one of the country’s most notable natural attractions. In addition to charismatic animals like elephants, lions, leopards, and buffalo, the park also preserves crocodiles and hippopotamuses in the Mara River. Over 450 resident bird species add to the outstanding wildlife.
The Great Migration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can be witnessed here. Every year, millions of wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh grazing land, creating one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet.
After check-in, embark on your first exhilarating game drive in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, one of the best places to go on safari in East Africa.

Those with good fortune have seen a family of cheetahs crossing the road in front of them.

In the wild, the large creatures are not the sole source of entertainment.
