Brief Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi
The journey begins in Kenya's multicultural capital. Get to know this modern city with its colourful markets and atmospheric bars.
Day 2: Lake Nakuru
Pitch tents alongside glistening Lake Nakuru then head out on an afternoon game drive. Fringed by acacia trees, the lake is transformed into a shimmering pink haze as hundreds of flamingos descend upon it. Keep an eye out for other wildlife - the savanna area also boasts a wide variety of animals including giraffes and lions.
Days 3 & 4: Lake Naivasha
Encounter friendly locals on a village visit, then discover Lake Naivasha - a birdwatchers' paradise with floating islands of papyrus reeds. Camp by the lake and explore this beautiful area independently.
Day 5: Loita Hills
Travel across the Great Rift Valley floor to Loita Hills, right in the heart of Maasai country. Tonight, camp among these friendly, semi-nomadic tribespeople and learn about their ancient culture from a local elder. Perhaps pick up a local recipe while sharing a campfire meal.
Days 6 & 7: Masai Mara National Reserve
Help the Maasai milk their cattle before tackling the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve: a huge area of woodlands and open plains backed by the striking Esoit Oloololo Escarpment. Safaris through the park might reveal prides of lions, herds of elephants and perhaps even a stealthy cheetah. In the rainy season, this area is flooded by over a million wildebeest on their annual migration.
Day 8: Nairobi
Hit the road and leave the open expanses of the African bush behind. Travel through Maasai farmlands on the journey back to the urban jungle of Nairobi.
