DAY 1 | TRANSFER TO SUMBARU RESERVE | MEAL PLAN: FB
At 8; 00am we will set off from the hotel of stay in Nairobi CBD and head north eastwards to Samburu National Reserve. It is one of the unspoiled reserves in Kenya and boasts of the samburu five that include the northern specialist species such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and the beisa oryx.
It is also home to predators like lions, leopards and cheetahs. This eco-system also harbors elephants, wild dogs and abundant birdlife.
We will have a late lunch and game drive to get us acquainted with the reserve.
This day ends with dinner and overnight at lodge
DAY 2 | GAME DRIVE | MEAL PLAN: FB
On a day like this, what better way to kick off than an early morning game drive in search of wild game? We will then connect to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, located in a remote range. It takes in orphaned and abandoned elephant calves in a drive to transform local lives and preserve natural resources.
We will have a late lunch and then an afternoon game drive to seal off the day.
This day ends with dinner and overnight at lodge
DAY 3 | TRANSFER TO NAKURU | MEAL PLAN: FB
At 7:00am we will leave Samburu for Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake, to help us break the journey to Maasai Mara. It is part of the Great Rift Valley surrounded by forests and is considered a world-class birding destination.
Upon arrival, we will visit the crescent island where we get to walk close to wild animals, and have perfect photographic moments.
This day ends with dinner and overnight at lodge
DAY 4 | GAME DRIVE & COMMUNITY VISIT | MEAL PLAN: FB
At 7:00am we take on a journey to the famous Masai Mara - a preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya. It derives its name from its “spotted circles of vegetation” in the Masai language, and is popular for being home to one of the seven natural wonders – the wildebeest migration.
In approx...5 hours we will arrive in time for a late lunch, and later have a short game drive in the park. An option would be to visit the native Masai warriors in their villages. The Masai culture is one of the less tapped cultures in the world, with their lives unnervingly portraying how true it is that civilization hasn’t affected them much. A short visit here is dubbed an intellectual pit stop.
This day end with Dinner and Overnight at lodge
DAY 5 | FULL DAY GAME DRIVES | MEAL PLAN: FB
On this day, we will fully immerse ourselves in one of best safari destinations in Africa. Fully day game drives wait us. During the drive, we are bound to see varied wildlife, from lions prides, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards, hyena, zebras and bison’s.
We will have a picnic lunch at the Mara River which lies across the wildebeests & Zebra migration path. Later on, drive back to the lodge/camp.
This day end with Dinner and Overnight at lodge
DAY 6 | DEPARTURE | MEAL PLAN: BB
After an early breakfast, you will have a game drive as you depart Mara for Nairobi. You will have lunch in Nairobi at a recommended restaurant before heading to JKIA for your outward flight.
However there’s an option to take part in an optional Balloon safari the drive to Nairobi. There’s no better way to experience perfect serenity whilst soaring up above the savannah.
