Kenya Trails

Land on the flight of your choice in the bustling Kenyan capital city of Nairobi. Meet your driver upon arrival and, after a short program briefing, transfer to the Karen Residence tucked away in the leafy Karen suburb. Enjoy dinner at the club (cost on your own) before retiring to your room for a restful night's sleep.

A note to prepare: A good portion of the day is spent exploring by vehicle, and the roads are likely bumpy and dusty.

After check out, meet your driver guide who transfer you to Nairobi National Park with a picnic breakfast for a game drive.

Then drive a short distance to Daphne Sheldricks’ Elephant Orphanage – where you have an opportunity 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.

You'll then visit the Karen Blixen Museum, which is a chance to go back in time and discover the famous Karen Blixen’s house exactly as it was when she lived in Kenya. Located in an area that was once part of Karen Blixen’s vast coffee estate, ‘bogani’, 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.

After lunch at the lovely Matteos Restaurant, you'll depart on the next part of your adventure which takes you from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi city to Nakuru.

Note to prepare: Today's drive is approximately 3 hours and the roads are in good condition.

Spend the entire day at Lake Nakuru. Enjoy the morning and afternoon game drive.

Today you set out for what likely be the highlight of your trip: the world-renowned Masai Mara. Widely known as one of Africa's greatest wildlife reserves, you find acacia-dotted plains, meandering rivers, lush woodlands, and, of course, an abundance of wildlife. Game viewing in the Masai Mara is spectacular year-round; keep your eyes peeled for a lion stalking their prey, a herd of elephants stomping through the grass, or a pod of hippos wallowing in the rivers. The great wildebeest migration also passes through this area, and those visiting during the right time of year see an estimated two million wildebeest as they migrate through Kenya and Tanzania. 

After a full day of game viewing you return to your tented safari camp. Enjoy an evening under the stars.

Note to prepare: Today's drive is approximately 5 hours, with some sections of the road being bumpy.

The next two days are spent exploring the Masai Mara in search of wildlife and other natural wonders. Your expert guide do their best to ensure all must-sees are spotted and captured on camera! For those wishing to participate in optional activities such as a hot air balloon ride, please inquire with your trip planner. 

Retire to camp peaceful evenings under the expansive Kenyan sky, exchanging stories from the day. 

After breakfast, check out and pick up your picnic lunch boxes. You'll then be driven back to Nairobi and dropped off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for your departure.

Note to prepare: Today's drive is approximately 6 hours, with some sections of the road being bumpy.
