Trip Itinerary

Detailed itinerary

Day 1:
Airport – Nairobi
Arrive at Jomo Kenyata International Airport in Nairobi where you will be met by an Eyes on Africa representative. Your safari driver / guide will take you to your hotel in Nairobi. After being accommodated, you will have a meeting with your guide to discuss all the important information about your journey which will start the next day.

Overnight in Heron Hotel.

Day 2:
Nairobi – Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Naivasha, 120 km from Nairobi. You will set up camp at Crater Lake, an 87 hectare private game sanctuary, surrounding a beautiful, green, soda lake. The camp is situated at 6,300 feet on the rim of an extinct volcano.

After lunch, you’ll spend the afternoon exploring the crater on foot.
In the crater live several troops of colobus monkeys, as well as bush buck, waterbuck, genet cats and marsh mongoose. Outside the crater, the animal population is a changing one, but on most days, you can find giraffe, all the plains game, warthogs, baboons and vervets. Crater Lake is also known for its birds and the opportunity to walk in the African bush in complete safety.

Your walk around the crater will culminate with a champagne sundowner on the highest point of the crater rim.

You return to camp for dinner followed by a night game drive in the sanctuary. You may see hippo, buffalo, and many smaller night species such as the mongoose, bat eared fox, jackal, hyena, and if you’re lucky, leopard and aardvark.

Overnight in the camp*.

Day 3:
Lake Naivasha – Nakuru National Park – Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, you depart for Nakuru National Park for a full day game drive with a picnic lunch in the park.

Lake Nakuru is an ornithological paradise with over 400 species found here. The lake is of world renown for its masses of flamingos and is often referred to as the “pink lake”. Besides the hundreds of species of birds, you’ll probably see game like warthogs, impalas, waterbucks, zebras, buffalos and endangered Rothschild giraffes. The park is also known for its white rhinos which are one of the most endangered species in Africa.
After the game drive, you return to camp at Crater Lake for dinner and overnight.

Day 4 & 5:
Lake Naivasha – Madji Moto village

They have a reputation for being fearless warriors, and you will see young boys walking with their cattle among zebras and other plains animals, armed with spears, bows and arrows to protect their animals from lions, leopards or hyenas. They wear very colourful clothes, mostly red in colour, which is believed to protect them from lion attacks. They are polygamous, and the women’s jobs are to take care for the children, build houses from mud, and milk the cows. They also make unique, colourful beadwork.

All meals and overnight at the camp*.

Day 6:
Madji Moto village – Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve is said to be one of the world’s premier game-viewing destinations. Lions are frequently seen in the Mara and having grown accustomed to cars, you are very likely to see them feeding on a kill during your visit. This is also a good place to see cheetah sitting regally atop a termite mound watching the world. Other animals include zebra, spotted hyena, black backed jackal, hippo, giraffe, eland and wildebeest. The richness of the fauna and flora and the untouched life of Africa, continuing as it has for thousands of years, is secondary to the Mara's annual migration of wildebeest.
The spectacle of more than a million of these creatures moving as a great mass across the savannah is one of the most breathtaking sights in nature. The actual migration does not last very long, and its start is impossible to predict accurately. Nevertheless, visitors to Masai Mara in August through September are certain to see great herds of wildebeest and zebra. However, all year round, the Mara is rich in resident wildlife, and the combination of its gentle climate with its scenic splendour and unbelievable wildlife make it Kenya's most popular game reserve. The Maasai people live on the reserve's fringes and are co-owners of the reserve, sharing in revenues from tourism. Besides the normal safari activities, it is also possible to go hot-air ballooning and do a walking safari in some areas, one of the finest ways to see Africa.

All meals and overnight at the camp*.
