Experience 8 Days Nairobi to Masaimara Trip Package

Tented Camp 3

On arrival in Nairobi, you will be met and transferred to your hotel by our Intrepid representative. You may wish to speak to our representative regarding any additional tours or activities that you might wish to do while you are in Nairobi. There will be a trip briefing at the hotel at approximately 6.00 pm this evening.

Tented Camp 3

Depart Nairobi and head north west towards Lake Nakuru National Park (approximately 4 hours), arriving in time for lunch. Afterwards climb into our truck for an afternoon game drive and hopefully see some of the once abundant pink flamingos converge on Lake Nakuru, all under the watchful eye of nearby rhinos and zebras.

Tented Camp 3

Leave the camp after breakfast and head to a nearby village with a local guide. This is a fantastic opportunity to interact with the locals and get a feel for everyday life. Here you will learn about local projects where the women yarn and knit wool, make art from banana bark and recycle plastic bottles.

Tented Camp 3

Today is free to explore at your leisure. See all that this vast lake has to offer on a waterside bike ride or opt for time on the water instead and head out on a boat trip. If hiking is more to your tastes then there are two spectacular walks to consider the first through the leafy hills and mountains of the Crater Lake Game Sanctuary, and the second to Hell/’s Gate National Park.

Tented Camp 3

We head south-west to our next destination, the Masai Mara - arguably one of the finest game reserves in Africa (300 km, approx 8 to 9 hrs). On the way you will stop in Loita Hills, a remote region that/’s home to the traditional Maasai people.

Tented Camp 3

Today we wake before dawn to start our full day game drive. The Masai Mara is known for its rolling green plains, riverine woodlands and annual wildebeest and zebra migration. We may be lucky to observe black - maned lion, leopard and cheetah.

If you missed out on seeing one of the Big 5 (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceros) yesterday, never fear! Today is another day to experience the National Reserve on the included game drive. Alternatively wake earlier and enjoy a magnificent safari balloon ride.

After breakfast, we return to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon, where our safari ends (240 km, approx 5-6 hrs). If you are departing from Nairobi this evening, please do not book a flight to depart prior to 8 pm. To reduce your travelling time back to Nairobi, you may wish to consider a flight from Masai Mara to Nairobi (additional cost).
