2. Hell's Gate
3. Lake Naivasha
4. Lake Nakuru
  1. Day 1
    Nairobi → Maasai Mara

    A morning departure and a Rift Valley crossing bring you into the Mara by lunch. After camp check-in you're straight into an afternoon game drive across the plains, hunting the golden light and the resident lion prides.

  2. Day 2

    Sunrise-to-sunset in the Mara with a picnic lunch on the savannah. Between July and October the Great Migration turns this into arguably the greatest wildlife safari on earth, Mara River crossings, cheetah stalks, and predators in every direction.

  3. Day 3
    Maasai Mara → Lake Nakuru → Lake Naivasha

    Farewell drive out of the Mara, then transfer north-east to Lake Nakuru for an afternoon game drive tracking rhino and flamingos. Continue to Naivasha for sundowners on the water.

  4. Day 4
    Hell's Gate cycling → Nairobi

    Cycle among zebra and giraffe through Hell's Gate's dramatic cliffs, then walk the geothermal gorge with a local ranger. Late lunch lakeside and road transfer back to Nairobi.
