HIGHLIGHTS

• Day 1:Jumbo and warm welcome to Kenya! This morning you will be met at Nairobi airport on arrival by our uniformed staff from Rhino Safaris and transferred to the Jacaranda Hotel or similar for an overnight stay. Spend the day at leisure, or we highly recommend the optional excursion to the Rothschild Giraffe Centre or the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage with a delicious lunch at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden.
• Day 2: Pick up from the hotel in your 4x4 safari vehicle with open top roof for game viewing and head north into the Rift Valley and Lake Nakuru (approximately 3 hours), where you may spot flamingos and pelicans depending on their migratory patterns. Enjoy a game-drive in Nakuru National Park, home to rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo and numerous species of plain game. Lunch will be at Lake Nakuru Lodge. Then continue on to Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge or similar for dinner and overnight. (B/D)
• Day 3: After breakfast, head for the Masai Mara (approximately 4-5 hours), Kenya’s premier wildlife reserve. The Masai Mara is picture book Africa; endless plains punctuated by flat-top acacia trees and home to an array of wildlife. Every year the reserve plays host to one of the world’s great wildlife spectacles, the annual wildebeest migration. Over 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra and gazelle, relentlessly tracked by Africa’s great predators, migrate over 1,800 miles each year in search of rain-ripened grass. After lunch, relax before embarking on an afternoon game-drive. Stay for 2 nights in the Mara Simba Lodge or similar. (B/L/D)
• Day 4: Today, enjoy a morning and afternoon game-drive and the opportunity to spot Africa’s ‘Big Five’ - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. (B/L/D)
• Day 5: Alas, your adventures are over and it is time to head back to Nairobi arriving around lunch time (approximately 4-5 hours) for your onward flight arrangements or we highly recommend extending your stay with a few nights on the beautiful island of Zanzibar or Mombasa. (B) Please note: if you needed to leave any luggage in Nairobi your driver will stop and collect it today from the Jacaranda Hotel.
