This 5-day Kenya safari begins with a warm welcome in Nairobi before heading into the Great Rift Valley to explore Lake Nakuru National Park, home to rhinos, lions, giraffes, and hundreds of bird species. The journey continues to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, where you enjoy thrilling game drives and, depending on your accommodation choice, possibly a guided walking safari or a stay in the heart of the reserve. After unforgettable wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes, you return to Nairobi to relax or enjoy an optional activity before the end of your adventure.
As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Bwindi Trails Expeditions team or a hotel driver greets you with a big smile: ‘Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!’ He brings you straight to your hotel to relax and, along the way, you get your first impressions of vibrant Nairobi. The next day, your guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Let the adventure begin!
Lake Nakuru National Park is an amazing wildlife haven, smack in the middle of the Great Rift Valley. The Nakuru Lake in the middle of the park is its main attraction, with hundreds of birds flocking to its shores. The park used to be known for its many flamingos, but rising water levels caused these birds to migrate elsewhere. Luckily, they are slowly returning, and in any case, Lake Nakuru is a great place to visit with its black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard and over 400 species of birds.
Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara.
Today, you are going back to Nairobi, where you can either relax in your hotel room or do a nearby activity.
