Day by day

Day 1

Nairobi to the Maasai Mara

A transfer through the Rift Valley with a stop at the escarpment viewpoint, always a hit with kids, arriving at camp in time for lunch and an easy first game drive.

Day 2

Full day in the Mara

A full day of game viewing paced for younger travellers, with flexibility to keep drives shorter and build in breaks back at camp between sightings.

Day 3

Second day in the Mara

One more day exploring the reserve's plains, with the lodge's pool and grounds there to burn off energy in between.

Day 4

Maasai Mara to Lake Naivasha

A road transfer to Lake Naivasha, arriving at a resort known for its lakeside pool and grounds where giraffe and hippo sometimes wander through, a favourite for families after a few full days of early starts.

Day 5

Naivasha at leisure, with an optional boat trip

A relaxed day by the lake, with an optional boat ride and walking safari on Crescent Island available locally, a rare chance to walk safely among giraffe, zebra and antelope with no predators on the island, always popular with children.

Day 6

Final morning and departure

A relaxed final morning before the transfer back to Nairobi.
