TOUR DURATION: 7 NIGHTS
h Nairobi: 1 night h Samburu: 2 nights
h Mt Kenya: 1 night h Lake Nakuru: 1 night
h Maasai Mara: 2 nights
DAY 1 h On arrival transfer to the Nairobi Serena for one
night in a Standard Room.
DAY 2 h Drive to the beautiful Samburu National Reserve
with lunch en route before enjoying a game drive in the
afternoon. Spend the next two nights at Samburu Simba
Lodge. The lodge overlooks the Buffalo Springs National
Reserve and the Uaso Nyiro River, with fantastic views over
the rolling plains (approx. 195 miles).
DAY 3 h Morning and afternoon game drives in Samburu.
Lesser visited than its more southerly neighbours, this
relatively small reserve’s main attraction is its ‘dry country’
animals rarely found in other regions, including the longnecked
gerenuk, reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra.
DAY 4 h Drive to Mt Kenya National Park and the beautifully
located Serena Mountain Lodge. Set under the slopes of
Mt Kenya amongst dense forest, the lodge enjoys its own
water hole frequented by wildlife day and night (approx.
100 miles).
DAY 5 h Drive via Thomson’s Falls to Lake Nakuru for lunch
and a game drive. Lake Nakuru is home to an abundance of
flamingos and sometimes all that can be seen is a mass of
pink! Lake Nakuru National Park also provides habitat for
lion, leopard and Rothschild giraffe, as well as white rhino
and the endangered black rhino. Enjoy an afternoon game
drive in the national park and overnight at Lake Nakuru
Lodge (approx. 180 miles).
DAY 6 h After breakfast, drive to the incredible Maasai
Mara Game Reserve with lunch en route. Overnight at Mara
Serena Lodge. The Mara Serena is spectacularly located high
on a hill with amazing views over the Mara River in one of
the best locations for game viewing (approx. 185 miles).
DAY 7 h Today enjoy a memorable breakfast by the hippo
pool! A full day in the Mara follows with morning and
afternoon game drives. The reserve offers fantastic chances
of seeing the Big Five amongst its rolling plains and wide
open savannah – and even better opportunities for viewing
big cats. Other wildlife to spot includes elephant, giraffe,
hyena, impala, wildebeest and buffalo. You may take the
optional balloon safari (see Upgrades) over the Mara.
DAY 8 h Depart for Nairobi after breakfast arriving in
time for a delicious lunch at a Nairobi restaurant (approx.
180 miles). You will return to the Nairobi Serena for the
afternoon where you may wish to prebook a day room
before your onward journey. Alternatively, extend your
holiday to the Kenya Coast or Zanzibar (see right).
