Kenya Wilderness Safari

On arrival at the airport, one of our office representatives will meet you outside the customs and immigration halls and give you clear and detailed information about your 6-day incredible tour. Thereafter, you will be driven to the Northern part of Kenya towards the cool slopes of Mt. Kenya. You will enjoy the sight of the rich agricultural plantations of the central highlands of Kenya. You will arrive at your camp in time for lunch. You will have an afternoon game drive. In the evening, you will return for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will depart after breakfast and be driven to Aberdare National Park which is a short distance within the Aberdare ranges. On arrival, you will check in at the base of the Ark Hotel, the Aberdare Country Club followed by lunch. Later, you will transfer to the Ark Lodge (carry lightweight bags only). You will spend the afternoon viewing animals from the decks. The ark lodge resembles Noah’s Ark and it overlooks a floodlit waterhole and saltlick which attracts a host of awesome wildlife. Thereafter, your dinner will be served.

After breakfast, you will be driven towards the Great Rift Valley. You will arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch. After your lunch, you will relax at the lodge. At 4:00 pm, you will begin your game drive. Lake Nakuru National Park is a world-class bird-watching safari destination and is fondly referred to as the bird watcher’s paradise. The park has more than 25 black rhinoceros plus around 70 white rhinos. There are also several Rothschild’s giraffes, waterbucks, lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The park has also been a paradise for the lesser and greater flamingoes. When the sun sets, you will return to your lodge for your dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will proceed to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve via the Great Rift Valley. You will have en-route game drives to your hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Masai Mara is famous for its high concentration of big cats and its annual migration of millions of wildebeests between July to October. You will arrive at your lodge/camp in time for lunch and check-in. In the afternoon, you will enjoy an enthralling game-viewing drive. Spotting lions, cheetahs, and other spectacular predators will be the highlight of your day (if luck is on your side). This evening, you will enjoy a sumptuous dinner at your camp.

On this day, you can choose to go on a full-day game drive in the Mara with a picnic lunch or morning and afternoon game drives. Between the game drives, an optional visit (payments direct) to the local Masai Village will be conducted. The trees in the distance might turn out to be a family of giraffes. Those clumps of bushes a pride of lions, and the rock that moves a rhino lumbering out of your way. With diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family of cheetahs or a herd of elephants crossing the path in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment — a family of warthogs may amuse you, running as fast as their little legs will carry them until they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup. Later, you will return to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

This is the very last day of your incredible safari, you will depart from Masai Mara after having your delicious breakfast and your packed lunch and be driven to Nairobi and dropped off at the airport or the hotel of your choice.
