Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve

This day is planned in mind you may be picked from your hotel or the Airport changes can be done depending on your arrival time. The Kenyan breeze whips through your hair, a welcome respite from the already rising heat of the day. On our drive north from Nairobi to the Samburu National Reserve, you spot crocodiles along the sun-baked banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro River. And if Samburu's scenery looks familiar, it's not déj vu; these open plains featured prominently in the award-winning British drama, Born Free.

Our destination is Samburu National Reserve, a wilderness retreat of grassy savannah, rolling mountains, and glimmering horizons obstructed only. Your very first game drive is a smorgasbord of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including sightings of hippos and Nile crocodiles. The reserve is also home to kind-hearted Kamunyak ("Blessed One"), the miracle lioness who adopted at least six oryx calves. She hasn't been seen since 2004; will you be the one who spots her next?

Meal plan; Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Samburu Simba Lodge

Day 2: Samburu National Reserve

Awake with the sun for an early morning game drive. You're on the lookout for Samburu's special "Big Five" – rare sightings of Beisa oryx, gerenuk, Grévy's zebra, Massai ostrich, and reticulated giraffe (Somali giraffe). Just as the outdoors heat up, we're back inside for breakfast and leisure time at the lodge's pools, poolside bar, and health club.

As the sun's golden rays descend into the horizon, the bush comes alive with big game and hulking predators. Take advantage of dropping mercury and rising animal sightings, and head out on your second game drive (16:00) to spot hunting wildcats and lumbering elephants.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Samburu Simba Lodge

Day 3: Samburu to lake Nakuru

Early morning breakfast in Ashnil Samburu and check out for Lake Nakuru, Your first glimpse of Lake Nakuru is almost unbelievable, as a sparkling, blue lake materializes before your eyes, its shoreline an explosion of cherry-blossom pink. These rosy hues are owed not to flowers, but to flamingos – millions of these blush-colored fowl line the coastline.

An afternoon game drive introduces you to flamingos, and then some: more than 400 bird species reside in Lake Nakuru National Reserve, which shares its lands with endangered Rothschild's giraffes, black rhinos, white rhinos, lions, buffalos, and baboons, among other incredible animals.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge

Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

After early morning breakfast, you will check out and leave Lake Nakuru for Maasai Mara. You will pass through Narok Town, a famous Masai town as you make your way to Masai Mara. You will arrive in time to check-in at Ashnil Mara or Sarova Mara Game Camp and have lunch. After lunch, you will take off game drive through the park in search of lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, and other members of the “Big Five”, plus other animals. Later in the evening, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November.

There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve.

Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Loyk Mara Camp

Day 5: Explore Maasai Mara

Full-day game drives depart at 7.00 am, with your 4×4 fully equipped to cross the Mara plains in search of game. At 1800 meters above sea level it can get cold before the sun rises fully, so we provide blankets and hot water bottles to keep you warm.

By midday, it can become very hot indeed and sun-block lotion and hats are advised. Lunch is served under the shade of an Acacia tree or overlooking the snorting hippos which wallow in the Mara River.

As the afternoon draws to a close and the temperature cools, the shadows lengthen and the Bush changes once more. Evening sightings of rhino are not uncommon on the way back to camp. Even a bad day is a good day in the Mara since undoubtedly you will have encountered vistas, flora, and fauna new to you. Each can be revisited in the memory as you sink into your welcoming hot tub back at your tent.

Day 6: Explore Masai Mara

If you start first thing in the morning, you are likely to find the Mara at its most active. With the sun rising at around 6.00 am, this means an early start to your day. The reward is likely to be the sight of predators who avoid the heat: additional attractions include subtle light on the landscape and the joyous sounds of awakening birds, you return for a hearty breakfast at the camp after 9.00 am.

At around 4.30 pm, we like to explore our own Conservancy, as the cooling temperature brings out the predators. Lion-kills are often fought over by packs of hyenas, jackals, and other scavengers. Yet these life and death scenes are juxtaposed with the impossible beauties of the African sunset, as nature’s ever-changing palette streaks the sky with orange, red, and gold.

Anticipating sunset, your guide will have stopped to prepare sundowners, with a wide choice of drinks. Clasp your favorite, ease back in your chair, and watch light shift to dark, heat gives way to the chill.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Loyk Mara Camp

Day 7: Mara to Serengeti

Transfer after your morning breakfast to Serengeti National Park. This will take up to 8 hours of driving through rough roads. Serengeti National Park is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park. Its far-reaching plains of endless grass, tinged with the twisted shadows of acacia trees, have made it the quintessential image of a wild and untarnished Africa. Its large stone kopjes are home to rich ecosystems and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. Enjoy your en-route game drive at Serengeti National Park. Full board accommodation is included in the tour price.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Serengeti Wildebeest Camp

Day 8: Explore Serengeti

If you start first thing in the morning, you will find the Serengeti at its most active. This is when Africa can reveal its cool side, so you should wrap up warm, we aim to be on the road before the sun rises at around 6.00 am. Our pop up 4 by 4 bring you as close as possible to the wildlife, just when the action is likely to be most exciting. Few predators hunt during the heat of the day, so the early morning is the best time to observe the thrill of the chase. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape.

Heading into the bush for an evening game drive has a level of excitement and character all its own, as predators begin their nightly search for prey. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill. At a suitable vantage point, your guide will pause, allowing you to enjoy a sundowner in blissful comfort.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation; Serengeti Wildebeest Camp

Day 9: Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast you will check-out and depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a stopover at Olduvai Gorge where the anthropologists Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of both the ’”Nutcracker and Handy Man”, very significant links in the chain of human evolution. You will arrive at the The Rhino Lodge in time for lunch and then spend the afternoon at leisure. Later you will have dinner and then turn in for the night.

Meal plan; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
