Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi – Drive to Samburu National Reserve

The journey takes approximately six hours, passing through beautiful countryside and crossing the equator into Kenya’s northern region.

In the evening, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 2: Full Day in Samburu National Reserve

Spend a full day exploring Samburu National Reserve with morning and afternoon game drives. Samburu is known for its striking landscapes and for hosting unique species found only in northern Kenya, such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx. The Ewaso Ng’iro River flows through the reserve, attracting herds of elephants and other wildlife to its banks. You will enjoy meals and overnight accommodation at your lodge, immersing yourself in the serenity and wild charm of Samburu.

Day 3: Samburu – Ol Pejeta Conservancy

After breakfast and a final morning game drive in Samburu, you will travel south toward Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a drive of about three hours. On arrival, check into your lodge and visit the famous Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see these fascinating primates. Later, enjoy an afternoon game drive across Ol Pejeta’s open plains, home to the largest population of black rhinos in East Africa and a stronghold for the Big Five. As the sun sets over Mount Kenya, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 4: Ol Pejeta – Lake Nakuru National Park

Following breakfast, leave Lake Nakuru and travel southwest toward the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, a drive of about five hours through the Great Rift Valley.

The Mara offers some of Africa’s best wildlife viewing, with high chances of encountering the Big Five—lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino. You’ll also see cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and countless antelope species. During the migration season, you may witness thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River in dramatic fashion.
