Day 01 :
Arrival

You will arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. You’ll be met by a driver and transferred to your hotel. Depending on arrival time, you can explore Nairobi: visit the Giraffe Center, Elephant Orphanage, and later enjoy a relaxing dinner at a local restaurant.

After an early breakfast, you'll head north to Samburu’s rugged wilderness, passing through the central Kenya highlands, where you will get a glimpse of the beautiful Mt. Kenya. You will arrive at noon. After lunch, you will check in. You will begin your adventure with a late afternoon game drive, seeking unique wildlife like Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, and the reticulated giraffe. You'll return to the camp for dinner under starlit African skies.

You'll enjoy a full day in this unique ecosystem. Samburu offers some of Kenya’s best wildlife viewing without the crowds — you may see elephants crossing the river or leopards resting in acacia trees. You'll visit a Samburu village to learn about their semi-nomadic lifestyle, traditional dances, and colorful beadwork.

You'll drive south into the Great Rift Valley, arriving at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch. This compact but scenic park is home to both white and black rhinos, and its shores attract flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants. You will enjoy an afternoon game drive with stunning views from Baboon Cliff.

Today, you'll travel to the legendary Masai Mara, Kenya’s premier safari destination. You'll arrive at your camp in time for an afternoon game drive — you may already spot lions, elephants, and perhaps even a cheetah stalking prey. Later, you'll enjoy dinner at the lodge.

You'll set out early for a full-day safari across the vast Masai Mara, home to one of Africa’s most diverse and abundant wildlife populations. You'll explore the sweeping plains in search of the Big Five, along with the Mara’s famous big cats and dramatic predator-prey encounters. At midday, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild, soaking in the uninterrupted views and the sounds of the savannah before continuing your adventure into the afternoon.

Your last day in the Mara is yours to savor. You'll take a morning or afternoon game drive. Then, you'll wind down with a private sundowner in the bush, a time-honored safari tradition with drinks and snacks as the sun sets over the savannah. Later, you'll head back to camp for dinner for the last night in Mara.

After breakfast, you'll depart the Masai Mara and drive through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha. You'll arrive by afternoon at the tranquil freshwater lake, home to rich birdlife and hippos. In the evening, you'll relax at your lodge or take a boat ride for a close encounter with nature.

You'll cycle or hike through Hell’s Gate National Park. You will hike or cycle past towering cliffs, gorges, and hot springs. You'll spot wildlife like zebras and gazelles past towering cliffs and lava flows. Option to soak in the Olkaria Geothermal Spa after a day of exploration. Perfect for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

After an early breakfast, you'll leave Crater Lake in Naivasha and drive to Amboseli via Nairobi. You will arrive in time for a game drive beneath the snow-capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Get your cameras ready for epic shots of large elephant herds against Africa’s most iconic backdrop.

After breakfast, you will grab packed lunches and head out to Amboseli National Park for a full day of game drives in Amboseli’s wetlands and dry plains. You'll visit a traditional Maasai boma and learn about their pastoral lifestyle, songs, and dances. Expect majestic elephants and vibrant culture.

Today, you'll pack your bags and take a Journey to Tsavo East, Kenya’s largest and wildest park. You will explore its sweeping savannahs, spot red-dust elephants, lions, and giraffes, and marvel at the Galana River’s Lugard Falls. Your overnight stay will be in a safari lodge within the park.

After an early breakfast, you'll enjoy a final morning game drive in Tsavo East. Then, you'll drive south to the coastal destination Mombasa. Here, you will explore Old Town and Fort Jesus before continuing to Diani Beach. You'll check into your beachfront lodge and relax by the Indian Ocean.

On this day, you'll relax on Diani’s palm-fringed beach or dive into water sports like kitesurfing. You'll cruise by dhow to Kisite Marine Park, snorkel coral reefs, and watch for dolphins. You will return to Diani for sunset views and a tranquil evening on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast.

On this day, you'll spend the morning relaxing by the beach, as this will be our last day. Later in the afternoon, you will board the scenic SGR train from Mombasa, crossing Tsavo’s vast plains and rolling highlands. You'll arrive in Nairobi and transfer to your hotel. You'll enjoy your final evening with leisure, shopping, or a farewell dinner in the capital city.

Day 16 :
Departure

You'll enjoy a relaxed Nairobi morning before your flight. You'll visit the Giraffe Center or the Karen Blixen Museum if time allows. You'll transfer to the airport for departure, leaving with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s safari and beach adventure.
