5 DAYS KENYA: A BEAUTIFUL ROAD TRIP

A short but sweet road trip with the chance to see lots of wildlife – or in other words: your exclusive five-day safari.

You’ll start your adventure in Nairobi and first head off to Lake Nakuru National Park. Witness hundreds of flamingos painting the lake pink and discover tree-climbing lions – a great rarity! From there, you’ll drive through the hills of Kenya’s Rift Valley straight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. For two days you’ll cruise across the East African savannah on the search for the famous Big Five. If you’re here at the right time, you can even witness the Great Wildebeest Migration crossing the Mara River. Goose bump potential? You bet!

Day 2

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is an amazing wildlife haven, smack in the middle of the Great Rift Valley. The Nakuru Lake in the middle of the park is its main attraction, with hundreds of birds flocking to its shores. The park used to be known for its many flamingos, but rising water levels caused these birds to migrate elsewhere. Luckily, they are slowly returning, and in any case, Lake Nakuru is a great place to visit with its black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard and over 400 species of birds.

Day 3

Drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve to accommodations outside the park

No game drive on this day, but nonetheless a day to remember as you make your way to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve - the highlight of your trip! Enjoy both straight and winding roads on this beautiful road trip, while passing by some exceptional landscapes that you can only find in this part of the world. Because this road trip will take up the biggest part of your day, you sleep in accommodation just outside the park to be well-rested for all the beauty the Mara has to offer the next day!
