Itinerary

Day 1

This day, you will begin your 12 days Kenya and Tanzania safari with a pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or Airport by our guide, then depart to Lake Nakuru National Park. You will have a short stopover at Great Rift Valley Escarpment to get an overview and a little information about how the rift valley was formed. Later after 30 minutes, proceed to Lake Nakuru to arrive in time for lunch at your lodge. Refresh, take lunch, and relax for about one hour. Afternoon game drive will follow until sunset. You will get a great chance to explore the shore lake of Lake Nakuru which is bound with a lot of bird species, lion climbing trees and you will also spot black and white rhino. Dinner and Overnight at the lodge/camp.

Day 2

Wake up this morning early to catch up sunrise from the hills of Aberdare as you enjoy your hot buffet breakfast. After breakfast, check-out of the lodge with game viewing en-route to Lake Naivasha. Arrive at your lodge/camp in time for a hot buffet lunch. Check-in at your room, have lunch, and refresh. This afternoon, fill yourself with a beautiful walk around the lodge as you enjoy the serenity. There will be an optional boat ride at the lake and also visit crescent island at an extra cost. Spend your beautiful afternoon at Lake Naivasha then later dine yourself for a hot dinner. Overnight at the lodge/camp 

Day 3

Wake up early for a cool breeze from the lake. Have your hot breakfast then check-out to proceed to Masai Mara National Reserve. Drive through the floor of Great Rift Valley with a magnificent view of Mount Longonot then via Narok town to arrive at your camp in time for lunch. Check-in, enjoy your hot buffet lunch then refresh as you await your afternoon game drive at 1500hrs. After a short rest, start the first introduction game drive in the afternoon, tracking the various animal species and birds that inhabit here with your driver-guide until sunset. Dinner and Overnight at the lodge/camp 

Day 4

The Mara reserve is 1510 km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

A full-day game drive with picnic lunch until sunset. Dinner and Overnight at lodge/camp 

Day 5

Today is an early wake-up. Enjoy your breakfast then depart from Masai Mara to the Isebania border. You will arrive at the Kenya-Tanzania border in time for a hot lunch. At this point, if you did not have an entry visa, you can fill it at the border with assistance from our guide. After lunch and clearance formalities, your guide at the Kenya side, will handover you to our Tanzania guide to proceed with him at the Tanzania side safari. Leave the Isebania border to Serengeti to arrive in the late afternoon with a game drive on the way to your lodge. Dinner and Overnight at the lodge/camp

Note: The road from Masai Mara National Reserve to the Isebania border, is a bit bumpy. We recommend not to fit people with back problems. For elderly people, we can advise our guide to go slowly.

Day 6

You will marvel at what Serengeti has to offer regarding wild game hence famously known as the World’s largest wildlife sanctuary.

The park is home to the big seven including; lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, rhino, and African hunting dog. The Serengeti stretches 14,763 (5,700 sq miles) stretching North to Kenya and bordering Lake Victoria to the West. Serengeti has the highest concentration of large mammals on this planet and it's famously known for its 2,500 Lions the largest concentration found anywhere. The park also has over 518 identified bird species where some of them are Eurasian migrants who are present in the European winter months from October to April.

Huge herds of ungulates dominate the crater floor with zebras, wildebeests, elands, Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelles being the species most commonly seen. But the crater is also home to the “big five” and elephants, lions, and buffaloes are often spotted. The almost extinct black rhino can also be found in the crate and sightings aren’t rare either. Serval cats, spotted hyenas, and jackals are also often seen while cheetahs are more difficult to spot. Later in the evening, return to your lodge/camp for dinner and Overnight.

The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the north-eastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive. Dinner and Overnight at your lodge/camp
