Day by day
- Day 1
Nairobi to the Maasai Mara
An early pickup and a drive through the Great Rift Valley, with a stop at the escarpment viewpoint. You'll arrive in time for lunch at camp, followed by your first afternoon game drive.
- Day 2
Full day in the Maasai Mara
A full day on the plains, with options for a morning-only, afternoon-only or full-day game drive depending on how you'd rather pace it. This is prime Big Five country.
- Day 3
Second day in the Mara
One more full day exploring different corners of the reserve, ending with a sundowner as the plains cool into evening.
- Day 4
Maasai Mara to Lake Nakuru
A road transfer back through the Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru, arriving in time to settle in before an afternoon game drive along the lake's flamingo-lined shallows, Lake Nakuru is one of Kenya's few gated rhino sanctuaries, so both black and white rhino are realistic sightings here.
- Day 5
Full day at Lake Nakuru
A relaxed full day exploring the park's forest edges and open shoreline, with the chance of leopard in the acacia woodland as well as the birdlife the lake is famous for.
- Day 6
Final drive and departure
A last morning game drive before breakfast and the transfer back to Nairobi.
