Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 JKIA ( Nairobi) /Hotel - Masai Mara National Reserve

Meet and greet at the airport or hotel by the tour driver guide.
Depart from Nairobi to start your safari to Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley, where you will stop for panoramic and breathtaking views.
Descend the escarpment and drive through the Hemingway trails to Narok town.
Proceed to Masai Mara, check in at your camp, and enjoy lunch.
Enjoy an afternoon game drive through the park, viewing the migrating wildebeest and zebra.
Search for the cheetah, lion, elephant, buffalo, and other members of the Big Five, along with various other animals.

Day 2 Masai Mara National Reserve Full Day

After breakfast at 07:30 hrs, spend the full day game viewing across the rich, tree-studded grassland and rolling hills.
The famous Masai Mara is renowned for its great herds of plains game, black-maned lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and is also home to numerous elephants and virtually every other type of wildlife found in Kenya.
Lunch will be served in the park near the Mara River, which forms the border between Kenya and Tanzania and is famously known as the site of the annual wildebeest migration.
After lunch, continue with a game drive exploring different sections of the park.
Return to the camp at 17:30 hrs.
Optional: Visit the local Maasai villages or take a nature walk with Maasai guides (at your own cost).

Day 3 Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru National Park.

After an early breakfast at 06:30 hrs, depart from Masai Mara for Lake Nakuru with lunch en route.
Arrive at Lake Nakuru in time for hotel check-in and afternoon relaxation.
Later, enjoy an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, which is one of the largest ornithological spots globally.
Lake Nakuru is part of the Great Rift Valley, which stretches 6,500 kilometers from Jordan to Mozambique and is the largest rift on Earth.
The alkaline lake attracts vast numbers of pink flamingos seasonally.
Other wildlife sightings may include hippos, white and black rhinos, giraffes, tree-climbing lions, leopards, and a wide variety of birds.

Day 4 Lake Nakuru National Park

Enjoy another game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park.
The park offers unique bird-watching opportunities.
It is home to many of Kenya's iconic wildlife species.
Spend your day exploring more of the Great Rift Valley ecosystem.
Observe flamingos, antelope, and predators in their natural habitat.

Day 5 Hells Gate National Park - Nairobi

After an early breakfast, depart for Hell's Gate National Park, named after a narrow break in the cliffs - once a tributary of a prehistoric lake that fed the early inhabitants of the Rift Valley.
Begin a 2-hour guided bike tour through the park, where you may see herds of Thomson's gazelle, eland, zebra, and hartebeest.
Hell's Gate is also a birdwatcher's haven, with over 100 species including Evreux's eagles, augur buzzards, vultures, and swifts.
Continue on foot into the park's gorges and caves carved into the sedimentary rock.
After a 1-hour nature walk, visit a local Maasai community to learn about their customs and traditional way of life.
Later, depart for Nairobi.
Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport between 16:30 hrs and 17:00 hrs.

All arrangements including hotel, game drives, food arrangements, personalised s (Read More)ervices by İmara Destinations was excellent We started our trip from New Delhi to Nairobi via Mumbai by Indigo flight. Dennis was there to welcome us at the airport early in the morning. We started off to Samburu, had lunch on the way had a relaxing evening at the resort. We had a wonderful game drive next day at the samburu national reserve, saw a leopard, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, etc from close quarters. We went to ol Pajeto conservancy, fed blind rhino, saw chimpanzees and other animals including two horned rhinos, proceeded to Nakuru saw pelicans, flamingos etc there, Masai Mara we stayed for three nights and had two game drives. Could see lots of lions, cheetah with its prey as well as a pregnant cheetah, zebras, giraffes etc. we also saw ostriches and other animals and birds there. We then went to Naivasha had a boat ride with walk and see crocodiles and hippos and crescent island visit walked with zebras, impalas and wildebeest but couldn’t see giraffe there. Due to floods last year many parts of crescent island got submerged so could only see part of the island. Our last destination was Amboseli park with game drive there. Overall it was a highly satisfying and interesting experience. İmara Destinations did a very good job of taking us to the exact spots where animals would be seen uninterrupted. Well done İmara Destinations. Thanks to Dennis and Murray for it

We had the pleasure of experiencing a 6‑day safari with Ariphine Tours & Safaris (Read More) in the first week of June 2026. From the very beginning, Ashley and her team were outstanding—accommodating all our requests, offering valuable suggestions, and planning the itinerary with great attention to detail. Our guide, Evans, was exceptionally knowledgeable and ensured we enjoyed the best possible sightings across Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Amboseli. His expertise and dedication made every moment of the journey unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to Ashley and Evans for making this safari truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kenya’s natural beauty with a professional and caring team.

Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot o (Read More)n perfect. Reasons 1.Clear communication and replies always comes very quickly on WhatsApp. 2. Very genuine with suggestions and doesn't do things as a job or formality. 3. James is very knowledgeable. 4. The enthusiasm and passion shown by James was just so infectious. 5. The planning of itinerary takes care of all the finer details. 6. They really take care of your focus and they don't try to sell anything you are not interested in. For example we skipped the village visit because we didn't see value in it. 7. Quite flexible and adjusts as things progress.
