Itinerary
Nairobi to Samburu
Leave Nairobi for the semi-arid landscapes of northern Kenya. The drive crosses agricultural highlands before descending into the drier Samburu region, giving guests a clear sense of changing ecosystems.
- Morning transfer: Depart after breakfast with lunch en route or at the lodge.
- Afternoon drive: Begin the first Samburu game drive, focusing on elephants, reticulated giraffes, Grevy's zebras, gerenuk, oryx and predators where possible.
Full Day in Samburu
Spend the day exploring Samburu, Buffalo Springs or the surrounding wildlife areas depending on accommodation and fees. Samburu should be described as one of Kenya's most distinctive safari regions, not simply as another park.
- Morning game drive: Use the riverine areas and dry plains to search for Samburu Special Five species and large mammals.
- Midday rest: Return to camp for lunch, rest and swimming where available.
- Afternoon drive: Return to the reserve for golden-hour photography and possible predator activity.
Samburu to Lake Nakuru or Rift Valley
After breakfast, travel south toward the Rift Valley. This day connects northern Kenya wildlife with lake scenery and rhino conservation landscapes.
- Scenic drive: Travel through changing farmland, towns and valley views.
- Afternoon lake park drive: If staying near Lake Nakuru, enter the park for rhino, buffalo, giraffe and birdlife viewing, subject to timing.
Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
This day slows the pace with a lake experience. Lake Naivasha works well after several long game-drive days because it adds water scenery, birds and optional walking safari elements.
- Morning activity: Take a final Lake Nakuru drive or depart after breakfast depending on routing.
- Naivasha boat ride: Enjoy a boat safari for hippos, fish eagles and waterbirds.
- Optional Crescent Island: Add a guided walking safari where appropriate.
Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara
Depart for the Masai Mara through Narok and Maasai country. The afternoon introduces guests to the Mara plains.
- Road transfer: Drive with comfort stops and lunch timing built around lodge location.
- Afternoon game drive: Begin searching for plains game, elephants, giraffes, lions and other wildlife.
Full Day Masai Mara
This is the headline wildlife day of the circuit. The guide should focus on high-potential wildlife areas and adjust to season, weather and recent sightings.
- Morning safari: Start early for predators and active plains game.
- Full-day option: Carry picnic lunch to explore deeper areas of the reserve.
- Evening return: Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
Masai Mara to Nairobi
After breakfast, return to Nairobi with optional brief exit viewing depending on lodge location and departure time.
- Checkout and drive: Return via Narok and the Rift Valley.
- Drop-off: End at Nairobi hotel, airport or agreed point. Offer beach extensions or an extra Mara night for guests who want a less compressed route.
