Kenya Big Five Safari

Welcome to Kenya! Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our friendly and knowledgeable guide will be eagerly waiting to warmly welcome you. He will be readily available to assist you and ensure a smooth transfer to your hotel. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of all your travel needs, providing you with a memorable and unforgettable experience in Kenya.

Today our guide will pick you at your hotel in Nairobi at 7am and head for the drive to Masai Mara. The next two days of your 5-Days Kenya Big Five Safari are devoted to exploring the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations and home to the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration.

During your morning and evening Kenya game drives, witness the Big Five lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino in their natural splendor. Lions roam confidently across the open plains, leopards lounge in tree branches, and elephants wander gracefully in family groups.

If visiting between July and October, you’ll experience the world-famous Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, braving crocodile-infested waters. This extraordinary phenomenon is nature’s greatest show of survival and instinct.

In the evenings, enjoy cultural interactions with the Maasai people, whose traditions and deep knowledge of wildlife enrich the Kenya safari experience. Later, return to Zebra Plains Mara Camp to unwind beside a crackling fire as the sounds of the African night surround you.

After enjoying a delightful breakfast, you will embark on your journey to Lake Nakuru National Park. A 4-hour descent through Rift Valley farmlands leads to the alkaline shores of Lake Nakuru National Park, where the water shimmers pink on good days and rhinos graze along the lakeshore. It’s a transfer that does nothing to temper expectations and everything to exceed them.

Lake Nakuru National Park is an amazing wildlife haven, smack in the middle of the Great Rift Valley. The Nakuru Lake in the middle of the park is its main attraction, with hundreds of birds flocking to its shores. The park used to be known for its many flamingos, but rising water levels caused these birds to migrate elsewhere. Luckily, they are slowly returning, and in any case, Lake Nakuru is a great place to visit with its black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard and over 400 species of birds.

Depart in the morning after your breakfast, embark on an en-route game drive in Lake Nakuru on your way back to Nairobi.

Arrive on late afternoon at your pre-booked accommodation in Nairobi for an overnight stay or transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for ypouir onward travels This marks the conclusion of your 5-Days Kenya Big Five Safari. Sad to leave…? Then don’t worry! We can easily add a few days on one of Kenya’s stunning beaches along the coast!
