Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

Start your adventure with an early morning departure from Nairobi as you head toward Lake Naivasha. En route, stop at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint, a dramatic geologic formation stretching across East Africa. Take in panoramic views of Mount Longonot, a stratovolcano with a vast caldera measuring 8x12 km.
Continue past a charming Italian Catholic Church built in 1942 during World War II by Italian prisoners of war—an interesting relic from Kenya’s colonial past.
Arrive at Lake Naivasha by midday and check into Mwanzo Lodge for lunch. After a brief rest, enjoy a peaceful boat ride across this freshwater lake—home to hippos and over 400 bird species including the African fish eagle and pied kingfishers.
Later, take a guided nature walk on Crescent Island, known for its free-roaming wildlife and scenic lake views. Return to the hotel for a relaxed evening.

Spend the day exploring Hell’s Gate National Park, one of the few parks in Kenya where visitors can walk or cycle alongside wildlife. The dramatic scenery of towering cliffs, gorges, and geothermal activity creates a thrilling yet safe environment for a nature-filled adventure.
Optional activities include cycling safaris, visits to the Hell's Gate Gorge, and the Ol Karia Geothermal Spa.

After breakfast, drive through the heart of the Rift Valley to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge, followed by an afternoon game drive across the savannah.
Expect to spot elephants, lions, giraffes, wildebeest, and more in this iconic wildlife haven. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay in the wild.

Today, venture deep into the Masai Mara to explore the territory of the cheetah—nature’s fastest predator. Your expert guide will help track these graceful cats, along with other carnivores such as lions and hyenas.
You’ll also witness the fascinating behavior of herbivores such as zebras, antelopes, and gazelles across the endless plains.

Enjoy a full-day safari with a picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve. Visit the Mara River, famous for the dramatic Great Wildebeest Migration (seasonal), and home to crocodiles and hippos.
Throughout the day, your guide will share insights into animal behavior, ecosystems, and Maasai culture, enhancing your safari experience.

After breakfast, drive back to Nairobi. En route, visit the Giraffe Centre, where you and your children can feed and interact with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe.
End the tour with a drop-off at either your Nairobi hotel or the airport for your onward journey.

Janet was very thorough with our itenary and helped us throughout and Bonnie knew all the best spots on all of our game drives.

From the very beginning, Christine and Judith from Donwel Tours were highly atte (Read More)ntive to what we were looking to get from our first ever trip to Kenya, and Africa, for that matter. We wanted to cover a lot of ground, and were going from one agency to another before we found Donwel as most agents couldn't quite squeeze everything we wanted into our itinerary. Judith and Christine however made it all possible. Good quality stays everywhere, regular communication through the trip to ensure we were ok and were getting what we wanted. Special shoutout to Teeman, our driver who absolutely fantastic, drove safely and ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trip, regularly coordinating with Christine. This is an excellent team and we would highly recommend their services.
Everything was perfect.
