Mornings in Tarangire surely offer a rare and unique look into the park, as the air around this time feels much crisper and the warm sun rays slowly start to filter in, covering many areas of the park in a mellow hue.

At. 07:00 AM: After breakfast, you’ll head towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which consists of a volcanic region that comprises Lake Magadi, Ngorongoro Crater (also known as a caldera), and Olduvai Gorge (an ancient archaeological site).

Millions of years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater used to be an active volcano that was believed to be taller than even Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa’s tallest mountain) but erupted, resulting in its cone collapsing inward, which led to the creation of the now present 600-meter crater/caldera (a vast deep depression left after a volcanic eruption). 

To provide you the best experience, you’ll be going on a game drive around the crater floor that will consist of mostly open grasslands. Offering epic views of much wildlife like elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffaloes, warthogs, wildebeest, and lions, you’ll be able to see many diverse wildlife species just a few feet away from you!

Additionally, the crater floor is also said to be home to many diverse wild animals, out of which consists of a high concentration of predators. Surprisingly, no giraffes are found here due to the crater’s ecosystem lacking the essential food (acacia trees) needed for them to sustain their livelihood. 

Likewise, for bird lovers, this attraction is said to be an absolute heaven, as one is able to spot a variety of birds like ostriches, kori bustards, grey crowned cranes, and spurfowls.

Continuing on, you’ll then go for a short afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park, which can take around 4-6 hours to reach. 

You’ll mainly explore the park’s southern corridor region that is categorized by vast, short grass plains. To provide the best experience of Serengeti, you’ll have your lunch (a pre-packaged meal) in one of the park’s safe designated areas.

Soon after the meal, you’ll be driven to Central Serengeti, which features a ton of kopjes (rocky hills) that are scattered across this area. 

After a few hours of exploring the park, you’ll finally be taken to your pre-booked lodge, where you can complete the check-in procedure, have your dinner, and enjoy your overnight stay. 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included.

Founded in 1951, this park welcomes thousands of visitors each year thanks to its breathtaking natural landscapes, rich abundant wildlife, and diverse ecological systems, which you’ll get to witness from the comfort of your safari vehicle, as this day you’ll be participating in a full-day game drive here. 

Keep your eyes peeled, as you might get to see the Big 5 (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes) along with other wildlife species like wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, crocodiles, monkeys, and gazelles, which will surely add many moments of surrealness to your day here!

The tour guide will help you read animal tracks, sounds, and behaviour, which will help you understand about Sergenti’s diverse wildlife. 

After a few hours of game drive, you’re bound to get hungry, so you’ll have a bush breakfast and then continue to Seronera River, which is a major hunting ground for predators like lions and leopards. Hippos can also be commonly found resting in the river’s refreshing waters as well.

At. 07:00 AM: After having your breakfast, you’ll be taking a morning flight to Kenya to visit Maasai Mara National Reserve in a small aircraft used in shorter flights, especially suited for bush airstrips. 

As it can take around 1-2 hours to reach the Mara, during this time, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the serene views outside your window.

As soon as you land in the park, you’ll meet your tour guide and begin your game drive. Firstly established as a wildlife sanctuary and later turned into a prime game drive destination, Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for its rich biodiversity, the Big 5 and 9, diverse animal habitats, stunning landscapes, and the Maasai Mara tribe. 

Maasai Mara National Reserve is without a doubt Kenya’s most popular wildlife attraction! What makes this specific reserve an unmissable spot for many wildlife enthusiasts is its abundant population of the Big 5 (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes) and Big 9 (which includes the same animals listed above plus cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, and zebras).

To really know Mara, you have to know its 4 major sectors, namely the Mara Triangle, Central Plains, Northern Sector, and Eastern and Southern Sectors, where each of these areas offers its own unique natural landscapes and ecological features.

Similarly, the Mara River is another central highlight of the Mara, famed for its spectacular migration crossings. Flowing from the north to the south end, this river is one of the reserve’s major water sources, and animals like zebras, gazelles, elephants, and wildebeests can be found typically feasting on the refreshing waters during the morning hours.

After a few hours of exploring, you’ll head to your pre-booked resort where you can complete the check-in procedure and head for lunch. Following this, you’ll return back to the park and continue on your game drive.

Once you’ve finished your game drive, you’ll return back where you can rest for a bit, have your lunch, and enjoy the rest of the night.

Note: Please take into consideration that the flight time can be subject to change, and in case of such situations, you’ll be notified in advance.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included.

At. 05:00 AM: Welcome to a new day in Kenya! As your accommodation is located pretty close to the reserve, you’ll be going for a sunrise game drive, which is said to be one of the prime times to visit for game viewing, as predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards are said to be the most active and typically hunt for prey.

Additionally, as the morning approaches, you’ll also be able to spot herds of elephants, zebras, and antelopes grazing in open grasslands.

Home to more than 400 bird species that reside in this national reserve’s diverse ecosystems, a few common ones you might encounter during the morning hours include lilac breasted rollers, starlings, bee eaters, schalow’s turacos, secretary birds, ostriches, kori bustards, and sacred ibis. You’ll find these bird species usually in the open savannahs, tree branches, bushes, riverbanks, and woodland areas of the reserve. 

After a few hours of game drive, you’ll then have a bush breakfast beside the Mara River, which in itself is one of the most luxurious experiences one can have in the park! You’ll be served delicious breakfast items that you can enjoy outside in the wild.

For a much more immersive experience, you can also request your tour guide to take you to sections of the reserve that you might have missed the day earlier, as the Mara comprises a large area and consists of many mixed ecosystems. You’ll spend this day again looking for the Big 5 along with other species of animals like hippos, giraffes, cheetahs, crocodiles, jackals, waterbucks, and baboons.

Additionally, lunch (a pre-packaged meal) will also be served during your sightseeing break, with timings arranged by your tour guide’s plan for the day. After a full day of exploring Maasai Mara, you’ll make your way to your resort, where you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner and spend the rest of the night.

Optional: For a much richer and more immersive experience in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, you can also add a hot air balloon safari to the itinerary (or visit a Maasai Village). If you choose to do so, please notify us in advance, as prior booking is required for this.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included. 

At. 07:00 AM: After breakfast, you’ll then be heading north to Lake Naivasha, which is a picturesque freshwater lake located within the Great Rift Valley. 

Comprising an area of 139 square kilometers, this lake is home to a large population of hippos along with a variety of bird species like African fish eagles, pelicans, and kingfishers. 

During the 5-6 hour drive to this destination, you can sit back and relax and take in the scenic views out of your vehicle window that will comprise scenic savannah plains and vibrant green farmlands. 

Optional: If time permits, you can also briefly stop by Escarpment Viewpoint (also known as Rift Valley Viewpoint) as it falls on the way. From the viewpoint, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the Great Rift Valley Floor that consists of vast green plains, rolling hills, rugged cliffs, and even Mount Longonot.

Before exploring Lake Naivasha, you’ll firstly stop at your pre-booked resort to complete the check-in procedure and have your lunch. After resting for some time, you’ll finally make your way to this scenic attraction. 

To provide you with the best experience here, you’ll go on a boat ride (around 45 minutes) to the popular Crescent Island. 

During the boat ride, you can see pods of hippos swimming in the refreshing waters, but you can mostly only see the top part of their body, primarily their eyes, ears, and nose peeking out of the deep, blue waters! 

As Naivasha is said to be the home to over 400 bird species, a few you might witness during your visit are African fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, and cormorants. 

Upon reaching Crescent Island, your tour guide will then assist and take you on an educational nature walk of this place. Unlike other Kenyan natural attractions that house predators like lions and leopards, you’ll find that this place only has herbivorous animals like zebras, impalas, waterbucks, monkeys, and wildebeest, making it totally safe for visitors to walk on the ground. 

Likewise, there is also an ostrich feeding area just near the entrance, where you can feed these birds at an additional charge. We suggest you be careful while providing them food, as they like to really peck humans, so make sure to maintain a safe distance if you choose to engage in this activity. 

As you explore this island on foot, you’ll have many unbelievably close encounters with many diverse wildlife species native to the island. If lucky, you might even spot groups of animals like hippos, zebras, and impalas all in a single location, providing you with unreal nature walk experiences! 

Likewise, lunch will be provided to you during the sightseeing break organized by your tour guide. 

After all your sightseeing activities are over, you’ll make your way to your resort, where you'll enjoy your overnight stay.

Note: For maximum safety, a tour guide will be provided to you during this day of the tour as well. We kindly ask you to follow all the instructions and safety protocols set by your guide. Additionally, during your visit to Crescent Island, make sure to maintain a safe distance and try not to approach any of the wild animals that you might encounter during the walk. 

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included.

At. 07:00 AM: After a fulfilling breakfast at the resort, you’ll explore two popular attractions, namely the Giraffe Center and the Karen Blixen Museum. 

First on the list, you’ll visit the Giraffe Center, which was established in 1979 with the aim of protecting endangered Rothschild giraffes (a species of giraffe) that were decreasing significantly in western parts of Kenya during the mid-19th century. 

Animal lovers will treasure this center, as you can see many giraffes in their natural habitat, and some of them are said to be very friendly, as they can often be seen nudging tourists for attention.

You’ll also have the chance to hand feed these gentle giants, but we do advise you to be careful, as they love to get super close to you and demand those treats right out of your hands!

Following this, you’ll stop by the Karen Blixen Museum, a national museum that was built in the memory of Karen Blixen, a Danish author who wrote the famous book, “Out of Africa”. Due to the book’s huge success, it was later adapted into a movie, which won seven Academy Awards in 1986!

Being a perfect destination for history lovers, the museum will provide you insights into Blixen’s time in Kenya. You’ll get to explore rooms containing furnishings, artifacts, and photos from her time in the country. If you like, you can also explore the tranquil garden located just in front as well.

If there’s extra time, you can also explore nearby local artisan markets and shop for local souvenirs like traditional woodcrafts, paintings, and Maasai jewellery as well. Likewise, lunch will be provided to you during the sightseeing break organized by your tour guide. 

After completing all your sightseeing activities, you’ll then be driven back to the resort, where you’ll have your dinner and enjoy your overnight stay.
