Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary is special. Nowhere else in Kenya can you see chimpanzees in their native habitat. This reserve also harbors the largest number of black rhinos in East Africa in specially protected game corridors.
Lake Naivasha isn’t just one park but several destinations. There is the fresh-water Rift Valley lake where we’ll take a boat safari, spotting hippos and birds.
Masai Mara National Reserve offers an unforgettable panorama of hills, plains, and rivers all stocked with an awesome display of wildlife – lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, and the hordes of the Great Migration. We’ll enjoy unlimited game drives over the vast sweep of this exciting reserve.

Gichmak Safari driver guide will pick you up from your Nairobi Hotel/Airport . We’ll head out in our private 4 x 4 Jeep for Olpejeta Wildlife Sanctuary.
We’ll be traveling north through the highlands of central Kenya, passing farmland and plantations.En route, we’ll take a break, stopping at Karatina, the largest open-air market in East Africa.
We should arrive at Ol Pejeta Sanctuary in the afternoon with time for game drives and exploration. We’ll visit the very unique Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary where rescued and orphaned chimps are nursed back to health.
Ol Pejeta also features a protected zone for over 100 black rhinos and there’s also plenty of big cats in this sanctuary. We will use our time well in this special reserve.
Overnight
Dinner and overnight at the safari Lodge or camp of your choice.
There’s so much wildlife in Ol Pejeta – we’ll take an early morning game drive to see who we can spot before departing this lovely preserve.
We’re now headed through the Rift Valley on a scenic drive to Lake Naivasha. Along the way, we’ll stop at 74 m (243 ft) Thompson’s Falls to admire its dramatic cascades.
Continuing, we’ll arrive at Lake Naivasha in time for an afternoon boat safari across the lake. This is an easy, relaxing ride, sailing past hippos and exotic birdlife dotting the lake and its shores.
Nearby, we may spot antelope, zebra, buffalo, eland, and impala perhaps grazing on the shore.
We should also have time for a guided walking safari to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary. It’s a quick walk to this small park where we’ll spot impala, gazelle and other grazers close-by.
Overnight
Dinner and overnight at the Lodge or camp of your choice.
There’s so much to do in the Lake Naivasha area. We’ll take a guided walking safari to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary. Acre for acre this park has more animals than any other Kenyan park and we’ll stroll by as they peacefully graze.
We also offer an optional bicycle ride over to Hell’s Gate National Park for more hiking close to the wildlife. Just ask your driver/guide to set this up.
But now it’s time to set out for the most famous wildlife park in the world – Masai Mara National Reserve.
We’ll arrive in time for a game drive and get our first taste of the sweep, the beauty and the active wildlife inhabiting this famous park.
All of Africa’s Big Five are here, and sightings of lion and cheetah are common.
Overnight
Overnight at a safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.
So, we’ll be up early to track that wildlife over hills and savannahs, looking for the big predators but also some of the other 90 species of mammals filling this exciting ecosystem.
The reserve is also home to the Great Migration (July – October), when hordes of gazelle, wildebeest and zebra by the tens of thousands cross over the Mara River into the park on their yearly quest for taller, fresher grasses on which to feed.
We’ll take a picnic lunch at the Mara River, within sight of hippos and crocodiles, and if during the migration season, splendid views of the invading herds crossing into the park, in a sight unmatched anywhere.
Here are some optional activities to enhance your stay at the Mara: Enjoy a visit with the local Maasai people in their nearby village, see their homes, learn about their culture, and perhaps purchase some of their colourful jewelry.
We also offer a pre-dawn hot air balloon safari over the park. This is a not-to-be-missed moment on your tour – imagine viewing the Mara come alive with the new day as the wildlife emerges onto the savannah. Your driver/guide can make all the arrangements.
Overnight
Dinner and overnight at the safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.
Our last morning to journey out amongst the wildlife – let’s make the most of it with an early game drive. By now you’re an experienced safari-goer and will better be able to spot the animals.
A final breakfast at our accommodation and we’ll once more hop into our 4 x 4 for a final game drive as we exit the park.
Now we’re headed back to Nairobi and should arrive at late evening.
