Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi – Amboseli National Park

Upon arrival, you will be met by the company representative and the driver guide. After a meet and greet, you will be briefed about your safari and then depart for Amboseli National Park, driving through the scenic Maasai/Kamba plains along Nairobi-Mombasa road. You will have a stopover at Emali town, then continue to arrive for lunch at the camp. After lunch, you will depart for the afternoon game drive. A visit to this park will confirm that while Mount Kilimanjaro is located in neighboring Tanzania, the best views are from the Kenyan side. On a clear day, you will be able to get a splendid view of this snow-capped mountain; Africa’s highest mountain. This park is the perfect place to see some of the big five up close - especially the elephants. If you are lucky, you can see a herd of more than 50 elephants in one go. All the big five are also well represented except the Rhino. Other animals include the Cheetah, Wild dogs, the Maasai Giraffe, Zebra, Crocodile in Lake Amboseli, the Mongoose, Hyrax, Dik-dik, Lesser Kudu, and Nocturnal Porcupine together with a prolific birdlife featuring over 600 species. Dinner and overnight at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge.

On this day, you will wake up for the morning game drive with a chance to see the beauty of sunrise. You will return to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast, you may relax by the pool or in the comfort of your room until lunch. After lunch, you go for another game drive and explore this park further. Alternatively, you may leave with a packed lunch and have a full day game drive, then return to the lodge late afternoon. Dinner and overnight at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge.

Early breakfast on request, at 0700 hrs you will depart for Lake Nakuru via the Nairobi Southern bypass road. You will have a stopover at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint where you will view the effects of land faulting processes. You will proceed to arrive for lunch at the lodge. After lunch, you will have game drives in this Park, which is also known as a bird watchers’ paradise. With suitable water levels, flocks of flamingos are found on Lake Nakuru turning it pink. It is also home to the endangered black rhino, big cats among other wildlife, and a prime area to see the Nocturnal Leopard on a lucky day. Dinner and overnight at Lake Nakuru Lodge.

After breakfast, you will depart for Masai Mara with a game drive en route. You will arrive in time for lunch. Upon arrival, you will check in followed by lunch. This afternoon, you explore Maasai Mara with a visit to the locals for cultural updates. As you arrive at the village, excited children and adults welcome you with songs and dance. At certain times, one of the dancers will jump up and down gracefully. The jumps are several feet high! You will be invited to try jumping too, but to your dismay, you will be no match for their levitation act! You will then be welcomed into one of the homesteads in the village. The village huts (called manyatta) are made of cow dung and clay plastered over stick frames. It is a memorable experience of its own. This part is paid by self, assisted by the driver guide. After familiarizing with the area, you proceed for afternoon game drives until evening when you return for dinner and relax under the stars, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush. Dinner & overnight at Sentrim Mara Camp.

On this day, you will take breakfast at the camp then depart with a packed lunch. You proceed with a game drive in search of the big five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets well worth capturing on camera. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Back to camp in the evening. Dinner & overnight at Sentrim Mara Camp.

One more day in this game reserve to explore its wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. You have more extensive game drives to capture the scenes that were not captured in other game drives. Dinner and overnight at Sentrim Mara Camp.

Breakfast at the camp then you will check out and depart to Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya’s freshwater lakes. You will have a brief stopover at Narok town after which you will proceed to the floor of the Rift Valley to arrive in time for lunch at the Lodge. After lunch, the driver will assist you in getting the boatmen who will take you for the boat ride to Lake Naivasha. You do a short briefing from the boatmen and proceed for the ride. The boat takes you on a scenic tour of the lake overlooking Crescent Island, which is an Animal and Bird Sanctuary on the Eastern Side of Lake Naivasha. You may opt to take a walk on the Island where a number of mammals can be seen grazing in the surrounding lake environs such as Maasai giraffe, zebra, dik-diks, steenbok, impala, gazelles, and hippos at night. At 1700 hrs, you will return to where you had left your driver then drive to the hotel. Dinner and overnight at Lake Naivasha Cresent Camp.

After breakfast, you will check out and depart at 0700 hrs for Nairobi directly to JKIA airport in time to check in for your departure flight home.

The seamless organization made the journey feel effortless and truly enjoyable. What made this trip stand out was the human touch and personal care shown throughout by the owner of Donwel Tours, Christine. Her and her team's warmth was felt in every interaction. She provided us with her very experienced guide, Elijah who has been in the business for more than 18 years. Eli as we called him , was not only highly knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply passionate about wildlife and the local culture. He brought the Mara to life for us with his stories, insights, and uncanny ability to spot animals from miles away. More than just a guide, he became a friend and a part of our journey. Christine was not only professional but her warmth and personal touch in meticulously handling every details of out trip made us feel so valued and cared for.

Trip to Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Nairobi

From the very beginning, Christine and Judith from Donwel Tours were highly attentive 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 al (Read More)l 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.

Trip to Kenya

The responsiveness of Christine (person overall responsible for arrangements)and knowledge from Evance (our driver and guide for national parks)about national parks was excellent. We stayed and covered Nairobi, Masai, Naivasha and Daini.. All stays and safaris were perfect could not have asked for better.
We chose Van but we think land cruiser would have been a better option especially for being comfortable in muddy terrains.
