Treasures of Kenya

From Nairobi to Nairobi

Tour Overview

An exhilarating journey through Kenya’s natural wonders, this safari takes you from the rugged landscapes of Samburu to the sweeping plains of the Maasai Mara. Begin with an early morning departure from Nairobi, travelling north through dramatic scenery and traditional villages toward the Samburu Game Reserve. Here, game drives reveal a rich diversity of wildlife, including elephants, lions, and unique northern species such as reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra.

Continue south toward the Great Rift Valley, stopping at the cascading Nyahururu Falls before arriving at Lake Nakuru National Park. This beautiful park is famed for its rhinos, giraffes, and, when conditions are right, its flocks of pink flamingos. A full-day game drive offers excellent opportunities for photography and wildlife viewing amid spectacular scenery.

The adventure continues to the world-renowned Maasai Mara, where vast golden plains stretch as far as the eye can see. Game drives in the Mara offer thrilling encounters with lions, elephants, cheetahs, and perhaps even the Great Migration, depending on the season. As the sun sets over the savannah, enjoy moments of tranquillity under the vast African sky before returning to Nairobi to conclude your unforgettable safari experience.
