On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel in Nairobi, a drive that typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. As you leave the airport, you’ll get your first feel of the city, with its mix of modern buildings and everyday local life. On arrival at your hotel, there’s time to relax after your journey before dinner and overnight.

After breakfast in Nairobi, we set off towards the Maasai Mara, a drive of about six hours. The journey takes us through the Great Rift Valley, where we stop briefly to take in the views before continuing across open countryside. As we get closer to the Mara, the landscape opens up into wide plains. On arrival, we enjoy lunch before heading out to explore, with chances of seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, and herds across the savannah. Later in the day, we make our way to camp for dinner and overnight.

Today is spent exploring the Maasai Mara, with the day unfolding as we move through different parts of the reserve. We head out after breakfast, with good chances of seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and often cheetahs or hyenas along the way. The Mara is known for its open landscapes and strong predator sightings, so there’s always something to look out for. We enjoy a packed lunch in the bush before continuing into the afternoon. As the day winds down, we make our way back to camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast in the Maasai Mara, transfer to the airstrip for your approximately 30-minute ALS flight to Kisumu, where you will complete Kenyan customs formalities. Thereafter, continue on a 50-minute flight to Musoma for Tanzanian immigration and customs, followed by a further 30-minute flight with Auric Air to Kogatende Airstrip in the Northern Serengeti.

On arrival, your guide will take you straight to the Mara River. Game drives here are all about timing and patience, positioning the vehicle at a safe distance, often under a tree, and as the wildebeest gather, we slowly move closer and stop to watch the crossing unfold. Later, we make our way to camp for dinner and overnight.

Today is spent around the Mara River, where patience often leads to unforgettable moments. We head out after breakfast and position ourselves carefully, watching as herds gather along the riverbanks. There’s always a sense that something could happen at any time. When a crossing begins, it’s fast and full of energy, with crocodiles in the water and predators nearby. We enjoy a packed lunch in the area before continuing through the afternoon. As the light softens, the plains take on a warm golden glow before we make our way back to camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, we set off from the Northern Serengeti towards the Central Serengeti, a drive of about five hours as we move through different parts of the park. Along the way, the landscape gradually changes, and wildlife remains part of the journey, with chances of seeing lions, cheetahs, elephants, and herds spread across the plains. We enjoy a packed lunch en route before continuing through the afternoon. By early evening, we arrive at camp, where dinner and a relaxed evening await.

Today is spent exploring the Serengeti. We head out after breakfast, with the whole day to move through the plains and see what unfolds. No two drives are the same, one moment it’s quiet, the next you’re watching lions, cheetahs, or herds on the move. We stop for a packed lunch in the bush before continuing into the afternoon. As the sun begins to set, the light turns golden across the plains, one of those simple moments that stays with you. From there, we make our way back to camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast in the Serengeti, we set out on a final morning game drive across the endless plains, a last chance to take in the wildlife before leaving. As we head towards Ngorongoro, we enjoy a packed lunch along the way. The drive takes about 3.5 hours, and as we reach the crater rim, the vast Ngorongoro Crater suddenly opens up below—a moment where you truly realise how big it is. By late afternoon, we arrive at the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, we head down into the Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife is never far and the scenery feels close and immersive. We spend the morning exploring the crater floor, with chances of seeing lions, elephants, buffalo, and if we’re lucky, even rhino. Around midday, we stop for a picnic lunch by the lake, often with hippos nearby. In the afternoon, we leave the crater and drive to Arusha, a journey of about 3 hours, arriving at the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast in Arusha, we set off towards the Namanga border, a drive of about two hours as we leave the park and pass through open countryside and local villages. After completing border formalities, we continue on the Kenya side towards Amboseli, a further drive of about two hours. We enjoy a packed lunch along the way as the landscape gradually opens up, often with Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
