Kenya Trails

The evening is yours to settle in and look through your welcome pack ahead of the days to come. Overnight at The Residences at Karen.

Day 2: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru

After an early breakfast and briefing, head into Nairobi National Park for a game drive, then continue to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage to see the rescued calves being fed and cared for. Visit the Karen Blixen Museum, then stop for lunch at Matteo’s Restaurant before driving on to Nakuru. Overnight at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.

Day 3: Lake Nakuru National Park

Full day in Nakuru with two game drives, focusing on the park’s wildlife-rich mosaic of lakeshore and woodland. Overnight at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.

Day 5: Maasai Mara

After breakfast, drive across the Mara plains in search of the Big Five and other plains game, with the option to add activities available in the reserve. Return for a mid-morning breather and lunch, then head out again for an afternoon drive. If conditions allow, visit the Mara River and the regular crossing routes. Overnight at Zebra Plains Mara Camp.

Day 6: Maasai Mara

Morning and afternoon game drives, giving you time to follow tracks properly rather than rushing between sightings. Overnight at Zebra Plains Mara Camp.
