7 DAYS KENYA WIDLIFE SAFARI
Day 01: Arrival in Nairobi
On arrival at Nairobi airport, you will be met and briefed about your safari before being transferred to your hotel in the Karen suburbs.
Overnight: Nairobi
Day 02: Visit the Kren Blixen Museum, David Sheldrick’s Centre and the Giraffe Centre
Nairobi – Elementaita. This morning we visit the Karen Blixen Museum. Located in an area that was once part of Karen Blixen’s vast coffee estate, the museum was Karen’s home from 1917 until 1931. The house and grounds were made famous by the film ‘Out of Africa ’and have been restored by the Danish community of Kenya. Visitors have a glimpse of typical colonial life in Kenya at the turn of the twentieth century. Then we travel on to the Daphne Sheldrick’s Centre (strictly open for one hour 11:00 am – 12 noon) to visit the many baby elephants that have been rescued from threatening situations in Kenya’s various national parks and even get a chance to see the calves being fed and playing with the staff. the Sheldrick Centre for orphaned Rhinos and Elephants, and finally the Giraffe center which offers the unique experience of hand-feeding these gentle giants at eye level from a raised platform while watching the warthogs below snuffle around looking for titbits.
After lunch, we depart on the next part of our adventure that takes us from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi city to the small but beautiful soda ash lake located in the famous Great Rift Valley, named Lake Elementaita. Lake Elementaita is home to numerous flamingos and over 400 species of birds. We spend the night at a lovely eco-friendly lodge perched on a hillside overlooking the lake.
Overnight: Lake Elementaita | Accommodation: Sunbird Lodge. | Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Day 03: Elementaita & Nakuru
The second great lake we visit on our tour is Lake Nakuru. 30 minutes’ drive from your accommodation overlooking Lake Elementaita, Lake Nakuru is situated in the middle of the national park to which it lends its name. Teeming with wildlife the park has so much to offer. Sometimes, when the water levels are low, the entire lake is covered in flamingos, turning the whole area pink. Lions, buffalos, as well as many rhinos, call this corner of Kenya home and a game drive around the park is always rewarding. If we are lucky we may even spot a leopard relaxing in a tree beside the lake. After a game-packed morning, we arrive back at Sunbird Lodge for a late lunch, and can later enjoy the rest of the afternoon by the pool on taken on hikes around the lake.
Overnight: Lake Elementaita | Accommodation: Sunbird Lodge. |Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Day 04: Transfer to Masai Mara
Leaving the Great Rift Valley behind we drive to Kenya’s famous Masai Mara, the setting for the Great Migration and countless wildlife documentaries. The Masai Mara is the highlight of this safari. We arrive for lunch at our camp and spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the pool and waiting for the late afternoon when the temperature cools to head out on our first Mara game drive. Back at the camp, dinner is served and gives us the perfect opportunity to look back at our day and relive all those highlights.
Overnight: Masai Mara | Accommodation: Tipilikwani Mara Camp. | Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Day 05: Safari in the Mara
After breakfast this morning we drive across the plains in search of the Big Five and other plains game. The early mornings are one of the best times to view the animals as this is when they are their most active before the heat of the day sets in and after a mid-morning of relaxation and lunch, head out into the reserve for a chance to tick off some more animals on your “must-see” list. Keep your eyes peeled as you hunt for the last members on your list.
Overnight: Masai Mara | Accommodation: Tipilikwani Mara Camp. |Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Day 6: Optional hot air ballooning
This morning, there is the opportunity to rise early and experience a game viewing adventure from an entirely different perspective! A hot air balloon safari across the Masai Mara (at additional cost) which takes off in the crisp morning air, and lasts for approximately an hour, allows for a beautifully peaceful experience floating silently high above plains, forests, and rivers. Upon landing a fully cooked champagne breakfast awaits. More game viewing opportunities arise later that morning en-route back to camp and in the afternoon. In addition to the abundance of spectacular game, there are also over 450 species of birds that have been identified in the Masai Mara Ecosystem.
Overnight: Masai Mara | Accommodation: Tipilikwani Mara Camp. |Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Day 07: Transfer from Masai Mara to Nairobi
This morning we enjoy our last sunrise in the Masai Mara with tea or coffee on the veranda. After a great final breakfast, we drive back to Nairobi stopping at the Great Rift Valley for one last photo opportunity before you’re dropped off at the airport. Onward international flights should depart no earlier than 6pm or 5pm for domestic flights.
