Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi to Masai Mara Game Reserve
Begin your adventure with a morning departure from Nairobi, driving through the scenic Great Rift Valley with a stopover for photography and refreshments. Arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch at your lodge or camp. In the late afternoon, embark on your first game drive across the Mara’s vast plains, home to the iconic Big Five and countless other wildlife species. As the sun sets, return to your accommodation for dinner and a peaceful night in the wild.
After breakfast, set out for a full-day exploration of Masai Mara. Witness the drama of the savannah unfold as you track lions, elephants, cheetahs, and perhaps a leopard resting in the trees. Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the stunning landscape, allowing you to maximize your time in the reserve. If you wish, an optional visit to a Maasai village can be arranged, offering a glimpse into the vibrant culture and traditions of the Maasai people. Conclude your day with dinner and relaxation at your lodge or camp.
After an early breakfast, bid farewell to Masai Mara and journey to Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive at your lodge for lunch and a short rest. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive through this park renowned for its birdlife, including flocks of pink flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants. Keep an eye out for black and white rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and other wildlife as you explore this picturesque destination. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
Following breakfast, drive to the nearby Lake Naivasha, arriving in time for a leisurely lunch. The afternoon offers a chance to explore the serene waters of the lake on a guided boat ride, where you can spot hippos, fish eagles, and a variety of water birds. For those seeking more adventure, an optional visit to Crescent Island for a guided nature walk can be arranged. Dinner and overnight will be at your lodge or resort by the lake.
On your final day, enjoy a relaxed breakfast while taking in the tranquil beauty of Lake Naivasha. Depart mid-morning for Nairobi, enjoying the scenic drive back. Arrive in the early afternoon, marking the end of an incredible safari filled with unforgettable memories.

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

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.
