Days: 3
Kenya

overview

This 3-day, 2-night adventure takes you on an unforgettable journey through Samburu National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and the Maasai Mara. From Samburu’s rare wildlife and dramatic terrain to Ol Pejeta’s conservation marvels and the Maasai Mara’s iconic Big Five encounters, this itinerary offers a perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. Whether it’s witnessing the unique Samburu Special Five, learning about rhino conservation, or marveling at the vast savannah of the Maasai Mara, every moment promises to be as extraordinary as the landscapes you explore.

Days 1:
Nairobi - Samburu National Park

Your adventure begins in Nairobi, where you will depart early in the morning for the rugged landscapes of Samburu National Park. The journey takes you through Kenya’s scenic central highlands, offering breathtaking views of Mount Kenya along the way. Upon arrival, you will check into your lodge and enjoy a delicious lunch before setting off on an afternoon game drive. Explore Samburu’s arid beauty and look out for the iconic “Samburu Special Five” Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. As the sun sets, return to your lodge to unwind, enjoy a hearty dinner, and sleep under the clear Samburu skies.

Day 2:
Ol Pejeta Conservancy - Maasai Mara

After an early breakfast, depart for Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the last remaining northern white rhinos and a haven for conservation. Upon arrival, enjoy a mid-morning game drive to spot rhinos, elephants, and predators such as lions and cheetahs. Visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya where you can see rescued chimpanzees. After lunch, continue your journey by flight to the world-renowned Maasai Mara. Upon arrival, check into your luxury camp and embark on an evening game drive. Witness the Mara’s rich wildlife, from the majestic Big Five to an array of plains game, as the golden African sun dips below the horizon. Conclude the day with a sumptuous dinner and overnight stay at your camp.

Day 3:
Maasai Mara - Nairobi

Begin your final day with an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara, a magical time to observe wildlife as they start their day. With luck, you may witness a predator in action or spot large herds of wildebeests and zebras if visiting during the migration season. After breakfast, bid farewell to the Mara and fly back to Nairobi, arriving by mid-afternoon. You will be transferred to your hotel or airport, bringing your unforgettable three-day safari to a close.
