5-Day Mid Range Bush Adventure

Touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where your adventure kicks off the moment you arrive! Our friendly safari representative will greet you with a warm Kenyan welcome before whisking you off—either to your Nairobi hotel for a quick refresh or straight into the Great Rift Valley, where your wild journey begins.

Your destination? The world-famous Lake Nakuru National Park, a shimmering jewel set in the Rift Valley floor. As you descend into this breathtaking landscape, prepare for a sensory overload—millions of flamingos painting the lake pink, herds of buffalo grazing lazily, and rhinos patrolling the shores. This ecological wonderland hosts over 450 bird species and 56 species of mammals, making it a wildlife lover’s dream come true.

Check in at the Lake Nakuru Lodge, where comfort meets wilderness. After a hearty lunch, gear up for an exhilarating evening game drive—watch the sun blaze across the lake’s surface as pelicans swoop low and rhinos graze nearby. Cap it off with a peaceful walk along the lake’s edge, surrounded by the calls of countless birds and the thrill of Africa coming alive all around you.

Wake up to the wild symphony of Lake Nakuru—chirping birds, rustling trees, and the distant calls of the savannah. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast as the park stirs to life, then set out for a final morning drive, soaking in the golden glow and incredible sights that make Nakuru so unforgettable.

By midmorning, hit the road toward Lake Naivasha, a sparkling freshwater haven framed by dramatic highlands and acacia-dotted shores. Upon arrival, check in at the Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, your serene sanctuary overlooking the lake. After lunch, unwind amid lush gardens where colobus monkeys leap from branch to branch and waterbucks graze freely—a perfect fusion of relaxation and wilderness.

For a dose of adrenaline, opt for an optional one-hour boat safari (extra cost) and glide across the lake’s glassy waters. Get up close to hippos wallowing lazily, watch fish eagles swoop for their catch, and take in sweeping views of the Rift Valley escarpment—pure magic on water.

As the afternoon light softens, head to Crescent Island for a guided walking safari. Here, no vehicles separate you from nature—stroll beside giraffes, zebras, and antelopes in their natural habitat, surrounded by endless sky and untamed beauty.

Rise and shine to the magic of dawn—as the first rays of sunlight shimmer over the lake and forest, the wilderness stirs to life. The air hums with birdcalls and the promise of adventure. After an early breakfast, buckle up for an epic drive to the legendary Masai Mara, the crown jewel of Kenya’s safari circuit.

As you crest the rolling plains and the vast Masai Mara National Reserve unfolds before you, the sheer scale and raw beauty will leave you breathless. This is Africa in high definition—endless golden savannas teeming with life. From July to October, the Mara erupts into one of nature’s greatest spectacles—the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the plains in a heart-pounding race for survival.

Arrive at Mara Sopa Lodge in time for lunch and a quick recharge before heading out on a thrilling afternoon game drive. Keep your eyes peeled and cameras ready—lions prowl the grasslands, cheetahs sprint after prey, elephants march with quiet majesty, and buffaloes watch from the shadows. Every moment is electric.

As the sun melts into the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues, return to your lodge for a sumptuous dinner under the stars. The sounds of the wild echo through the night—your cue that tomorrow holds even more adventure.
