Itinerary
Nairobi Arrival and Safari Orientation
Guests arrive in Nairobi and settle in before the safari begins. This is the right time to confirm dietary requirements, rooming list, luggage needs and any special interests such as birds, photography, culture or family travel.
- Meet and greet: Airport or hotel pickup and transfer.
- Briefing: Review the route, vehicle, accommodation level and daily departure rhythm.
Nairobi to Amboseli
Drive south to Amboseli, known for elephants and views of Mount Kilimanjaro when the sky is clear. The afternoon game drive introduces the open plains and wetland habitats.
- Morning drive: Travel through Kajiado country toward Amboseli.
- Afternoon drive: Look for elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and birdlife.
Full Day Amboseli
A full day in Amboseli gives guests a better chance of clear mountain views and large elephant sightings. The guide can split the day into morning and afternoon drives with rest at lodge.
- Sunrise drive: Best chance of Kilimanjaro views and active wildlife.
- Midday rest: Return to lodge during the hottest hours.
- Evening drive: Explore marsh areas and viewpoints before sunset.
Amboseli to Lake Naivasha
Travel north through Nairobi or the Rift Valley corridor to Lake Naivasha. This day shifts from savannah wildlife to lake scenery and relaxed activity.
- Transfer: Drive with comfort stops and lunch en route.
- Boat safari: Enjoy hippos, fish eagles and lakeside birdlife if included.
Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru
Continue to Lake Nakuru National Park or the wider Nakuru area for rhino-focused game viewing and Rift Valley landscapes.
- Morning at Naivasha: Optional Crescent Island or Hell's Gate visit depending on interests.
- Nakuru drive: Enter Lake Nakuru for rhino, giraffe, buffalo, antelope and birdlife viewing where timing allows.
Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara
Depart for the Masai Mara, Kenya's most famous wildlife area. The drive passes through Narok and pastoral landscapes before reaching the Mara ecosystem.
- Road transfer: Drive after breakfast with lunch timing based on lodge location.
- First Mara drive: Explore the plains in the late afternoon.
Full Day Masai Mara
This is the strongest wildlife day of the itinerary. The guide should plan around predator activity, riverine areas, plains game and guest priorities.
- Morning drive: Search for big cats, elephants, buffalo, giraffes and plains game.
- Picnic or lodge lunch: Choose a full-day route or split drives depending on the lodge.
- Optional extras: Balloon safari and cultural visit can be offered at extra cost.
Masai Mara to Nairobi
Return to Nairobi after breakfast. The final day should include enough buffer for evening flights because road conditions and traffic can vary.
