TRIP OVERVIEW
Day 1: Nairobi City Tour
Commence your safari adventure with a captivating visit to Nairobi’s renowned Animal Orphanage. Nestled within Nairobi National Park, this sanctuary was established as a haven and rehabilitation center, now providing refuge to over twenty distinct animal and bird species. Regardless of age, all visitors will have the unique opportunity to forge a close bond with these creatures through an intimate encounter.
Later in the morning, at 11 am, your journey will lead you to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Witness the heartwarming sight of these endearing baby elephants engaging in exercises, feeding, and bathing as they progress through their rehabilitation. Both you and your children will be enthralled by this heartening experience.
Your next destination is the Giraffe Centre, where the focus is on conserving the Rothschild Giraffe. The elevated feeding platform at the centre allows you to engage in eye-level interactions with these majestic creatures as they dine. Notably, children have the chance to personally feed one of these magnificent giraffes. Moreover, as you explore the beautiful surroundings of the Giraffe Centre, you may encounter some of its taller residents during your stroll.
Following a satisfying lunch, it’s time to venture to Mamba Village for an exploration of their Crocodile Farm and a delightful encounter with the Masai Ostrich population. Mamba Village offers a range of activities including fishing, cycling, and swimming – the choice is yours to make!
Day 2: Nairobi - Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Following breakfast, you will set forth from Nairobi, embarking on a journey towards the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, sometimes referred to as Sweet Waters. En route, the scenic drive will take you through vibrant tea and coffee plantations, and as you traverse the equator, you’ll transition from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere.
Upon reaching Sweet Waters, a delectable lunch will be served, fortifying you for the adventure ahead. Your next step is an exhilarating game drive within the park. During this drive, you’ll pause at the renowned Chimpanzee Sanctuary for a guided tour. Here, you’ll have the unique privilege of meeting the sanctuary’s highly endangered and remarkably intelligent inhabitants, all while being guided by a specially trained ranger.
As part of your game drive, you’ll also visit the Morani Centre to encounter Baraka, the celebrated and gentle rhino that the conservancy has nurtured. Baraka, a blind rhino relocated to the conservancy for safety reasons, stands as an approachable and heartwarming sight. Visitors even have the chance to participate in his feeding, offered at various times throughout the day.
Concluding these enlightening visits, your afternoon will be punctuated with a park drive, aimed at seeking out the iconic members of the Big Five – leopards, lions, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo – as you traverse through the park’s terrain.
Day 3: Ol Pejeta Conservancy
While parents embark on a full-day game drive within the park, the kids can enjoy an array of exciting activities back at Sweet Waters. This includes options like camel riding, horseback riding, swimming, and more to keep them engaged and entertained throughout the day.
Day 4: Ol Pajeta Conservancy - Lake Naivasha
Leaving behind Ol Pejeta, your journey will lead you to the enchanting shores of Lake Naivasha.
Nestled on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha is a pristine freshwater lake renowned for its vibrant avian population. This picturesque area is also inhabited by various animals, including graceful giraffes, robust buffalo, and the lively velvet and colobus monkeys.
Your day at the lake encompasses a guided boat safari, where you’ll venture out onto the tranquil waters to witness the presence of hippos and an array of water birds. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the Crescent Island Sanctuary. Here, you and your children can embark on a unique walk alongside zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and other captivating wildlife species.
Day 5: Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara
No Kenyan safari is complete without an expedition to the legendary Masai Mara.
Following breakfast, your journey will take you from Lake Naivasha towards the iconic Masai Mara. Often referred to as the abode of the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Masai Mara holds a special place in the hearts of wildlife enthusiasts.
Irrespective of the time of year, the park promises sightings of a remarkable array of wildlife, encompassing lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, and more. During specific months, coinciding with the Wildebeest Migration, the park transforms into a bustling hub as over 1.7 million wildebeest and 500,000 zebras grace its landscapes.
After indulging in a satisfying lunch at your lodge, your afternoon will be dedicated to a game drive within the park.
Day 6: Masai Mara
You hold the choice to awaken before dawn, immersing yourself in an unforgettable sunrise game drive within the park. The savannah takes on a breathtaking beauty as the sun’s rays set it ablaze, while the cool morning air invigorates predators like lions and leopards, making them particularly active.
Alternatively, a different path awaits: you can take to the skies through an optional hot air balloon safari at dawn. Ascend to 1,000 feet and relish an awe-inspiring panorama of the park and the sun’s emergence. Your descent concludes with a champagne breakfast savored upon the sprawling savannah.
After your morning meal, you can either unwind at the lodge until lunchtime before embarking on a game drive, or opt for a picnic lunch and embark on a full-day exploration of the park. This venture might involve tracking the Wildebeest Migration and seeking out the remarkable Big Five.
For your young ones, the lodge offers optional children’s activities, including engaging in Masai cultural experiences like spear throwing, archery, guided nature walks, and learning the art of fire lighting the Masai way.
As the day evolves into evening, you’re invited to partake in a captivating display of traditional Masai dance by the bonfire. Participation is not only welcomed but encouraged!
