7-Day Nakuru, Naivasha & Mara in Luxury Camps and Lodges

Touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, and your Kenyan adventure ignites the moment you’re greeted by our friendly safari representative. Depending on your arrival time, you’ll either be whisked away to your Nairobi hotel for a quick refresh or hit the open road straight into the breathtaking Great Rift Valley, bound for the legendary Lake Nakuru National Park.

As the landscape unfolds beneath endless skies, get ready to be swept into a living postcard — shimmering lakes, acacia-dotted plains, and flocks of flamingos painting the shoreline in shades of pink. Lake Nakuru is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 450 bird species and 56 species of mammals, including majestic white and black rhinos, powerful buffalo, and elusive leopards.

Arrive at your camp or lodge just in time for a delicious lunch and a short rest before diving into an evening game drive. Cruise along the lake’s shimmering edges as the golden light of dusk reflects off the water — a perfect moment for capturing flamingos in flight and spotting wildlife emerging for the night.

By sunset, you’ll feel it — that pure, high-octane thrill of being deep in the wild, where every sight and sound reminds you you’re living the dream of an authentic African safari.

After a short drive through Lake Nakuru National Park for one last look at its breathtaking wildlife, set off mid-morning for the nearby Lake Naivasha — a glittering freshwater gem nestled in the heart of the Great Rift Valley.

Arrive in time for lunch and settle in before spending the afternoon at your own pace — pure relaxation in a setting that feels straight out of a dream. For a touch of extra adventure, opt for an optional one-hour boat safari across the lake (at an additional cost), where you’ll glide past hippos basking in the shallows, watch birds skimming the water’s surface, and soak in the panoramic views of the highlands surrounding this peaceful oasis.

Lake Naivasha is a photographer’s paradise — a serene world where giraffes meander through acacia woodlands, buffalo cool off in lush swamps, and Colobus monkeys swing through the trees. It’s a slower, softer rhythm of safari life — a perfect pause between bursts of high-octane adventure.

As the landscape unfolds, the air thickens with anticipation — this is the beating heart of Africa’s wild kingdom.

Arrive at your camp or lodge just in time for a sumptuous lunch, then dive straight into an adrenaline-charged afternoon game drive across the golden plains. The Masai Mara is world-renowned for its staggering concentration of wildlife — home to all of Africa’s Big Five and countless other species that make every moment an exhilarating encounter.

Between July and October, witness one of Earth’s greatest natural spectacles — the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the plains in a primal race for survival. It’s raw, breathtaking, and utterly unforgettable.

As dusk settles, return to your lodge for a delicious dinner under the stars, the distant roars of lions echoing through the night — the perfect soundtrack to your high-octane day in the wild.

These next few days are pure, untamed adventure — a thrilling immersion into the Masai Mara, where every sunrise brings a new story from the wild. From the first golden light of dawn to the fiery glow of sunset, you’ll set out on unlimited game drives, chasing the heartbeat of Africa across endless savannahs.

Expect close encounters with lions on the hunt, elephants marching in herds, graceful giraffes silhouetted against the sky, and cheetahs sprinting through the grasslands. The Masai Mara never sleeps — it’s a living theatre of survival and spectacle, where every sighting feels electric.

For the ultimate thrill, elevate your adventure with an optional hot air balloon safari (extra cost) — drift silently above the plains as the rising sun ignites the horizon and wildlife stirs below. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment, equal parts serene and spine-tingling.

Early mornings are magic here — the air crisp, the light golden, and the big cats at their most active. Capture breathtaking shots as they prowl, stretch, and stalk through the misty grass — raw power wrapped in beauty.

As evening falls, return to your camp for dinner by the fire, the sounds of the Mara echoing in the distance — a roaring reminder that you’re living the ultimate safari dream.

Rise with the first blush of dawn and dive headfirst into another action-packed day in the Masai Mara — where adventure pulses through every rustle of grass. After an early breakfast, head out for a sunrise game drive, when the savannah is alive with movement — lions finishing their night hunt, hyenas laughing in the distance, and herds of antelope grazing under the soft morning glow.

Mid-morning, visit a traditional Maasai village and step into the rhythm of one of Africa’s most iconic cultures. Join the warriors in their spirited dances, learn about their time-honored traditions, and listen to stories passed down through generations — a vibrant cultural experience that gives your safari deeper meaning.

Later, enjoy a bush picnic lunch under an acacia tree, surrounded by the sweeping views and the raw symphony of nature — the call of distant birds, the rustle of wind through the grass, and the occasional grunt of a hippo from a far-off river.

In the afternoon, gear up for another high-energy game drive, tracking predators on the move or following a herd of elephants crossing the plains in golden light. For the daring, add an optional walking safari with an expert guide (where permitted) — an exhilarating chance to connect with the wild up close and personal.

As twilight descends, unwind with a sundowner by the Mara River, your drink in hand as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fierce reds and golds. Return to camp for dinner and storytelling by the fire — the perfect ending to a day that captures the true spirit of adventure, freedom, and wild Africa.

Awaken to the call of the wild — the distant roar of a lion, the rustle of the morning breeze, and the first blush of sunrise stretching across the Mara plains. This is your final full day in Masai Mara National Reserve, and it’s all about diving headfirst into pure adventure and soul-stirring beauty.

Start with an early morning game drive, when the wilderness stirs to life. Watch as the savannah glows in soft gold and predators prowl through the mist. Maybe you’ll catch that heart-racing sight of a lion pride feasting, or a cheetah sprinting across the grasslands — raw, unfiltered Africa at its best.

After breakfast, head out for a guided nature walk along the fringes of the reserve (where permitted). Your expert ranger will reveal the secrets of the bush — animal tracks, medicinal plants, and the fascinating stories that unfold in every footprint and feather. It’s intimate, immersive, and wildly grounding.

For a breathtaking perspective, you can opt for an optional hot air balloon safari (if not done earlier) — float silently above the plains as herds of elephants and wildebeest move like patterns in the morning mist. As you touch down, a champagne bush breakfast awaits under an acacia tree — an unforgettable luxury moment in the wild.

Spend the afternoon at leisure — take a dip in the lodge pool overlooking endless plains, savor a sundowner as zebras graze nearby, or simply relax and let the spirit of Africa sink in.

Later, as dusk sweeps across the Mara, head out for one last evening game drive — a final chase under the amber glow of sunset. End your day with a bush dinner under the stars, the crackle of a campfire, and the haunting sounds of the night echoing through the open plains.

Tonight, you’ll fall asleep knowing you’ve lived something extraordinary — the heartbeat of Africa, alive in every memory, every breath, every wild moment.

Wake before dawn for one last thrilling game drive — the savannah bathed in golden light, the air crisp with possibility.

Return to camp for a sumptuous breakfast, savoring every bite as you relive the adventures of the past days. Then, it’s time to hit the road — a scenic drive back to Nairobi, where rolling hills and sweeping plains fade into the distance.

Arrive in the afternoon, carrying with you the spirit of the wild — the echoes of roaring lions, the whisper of the wind over the grasslands, and memories that will never fade. You’ll be dropped off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, marking the perfect finale to an adrenaline-charged Kenyan safari that’s nothing short of unforgettable.
