What's Included
Itinerary
Your adventure begins the moment you land in Nairobi, East Africa's vibrant gateway to safari. After meeting our representative at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you'll transfer to the elegant Nairobi Serena Hotel, where you can settle in and unwind after your journey. Spend the rest of the day enjoying the hotel's celebrated Maisha Spa, relaxing by the pool, or simply easing into the rhythm of Kenya.
Optional Experience. If you'd like to start exploring right away, join our Nairobi City Tour. Over three to four hours you'll discover the city's rich history and culture, visiting landmarks including the National Museum, Railway Museum, KICC, Parliament Buildings, and the National Archives.
After breakfast, leave Nairobi behind and journey southeast to Tsavo West National Park. One of Kenya's largest and most diverse protected areas, Tsavo West is a land of ancient lava flows, volcanic craters, crystal-clear springs, and sweeping savannahs. Arrive at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in time for lunch before enjoying a relaxed afternoon at the lodge. Later, head out on your first game drive through landscapes where elephants, buffalo, giraffes, antelope, and the elusive black rhino roam.
Rise early to experience the bush at its most active. Today's morning and afternoon game drives reveal the incredible diversity of Tsavo West, taking you to iconic landmarks including Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles thrive beneath crystal-clear waters, the dramatic Shetani Lava Flows, Chaimu Crater, and the panoramic viewpoints of Roaring Rocks. As the day comes to an end, enjoy a classic African sundowner surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Tsavo as the setting sun paints the landscape in warm shades of gold and crimson.
After breakfast, continue south to Amboseli National Park. Arrive at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge in time for lunch before spending the afternoon soaking in magnificent views of the park from your veranda or relaxing by the heated swimming pool. Later, venture into Amboseli on an afternoon game drive. Known for its large elephant herds and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the park also offers opportunities to spot lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and an incredible variety of birdlife.
This morning, transfer to Amboseli Airstrip for your scheduled flight via Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, allowing you to spend less time travelling and more time on safari. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed and transferred to Mara Serena Safari Lodge, dramatically positioned above the vast plains of the reserve. After lunch and time to relax, head out on your first game drive across one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations. The Maasai Mara is home to the Big Five year-round and, between July and September, hosts the awe-inspiring Great Migration as millions of wildebeest and zebra cross into Kenya from the Serengeti.
Spend a full day exploring one of the world's greatest safari destinations. Morning and afternoon game drives take you deeper into the reserve, where every drive offers new opportunities to encounter elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, and countless other species. Begin the day with an unforgettable bush breakfast beside the Mara River Hippo Pools, where the sounds of the wilderness accompany a freshly prepared breakfast served in the heart of the reserve. Later, return to the lodge to unwind with the signature Oringa Massage, inspired by Maasai traditions. Using handcrafted Oringa sticks, this restorative treatment combines long flowing strokes, gentle stretching, and pressure-point techniques to ease tired muscles after days spent exploring the wild.
After breakfast, transfer to Mara Serena Airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Nairobi. Upon arrival, enjoy a farewell lunch at Café Maghreb at Nairobi Serena Hotel before transferring to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey. Leave Kenya with unforgettable memories of volcanic landscapes, towering mountains, extraordinary wildlife, and the timeless beauty of Africa's most iconic safari destinations.
