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 1

Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Africa Safari Trips team or a hotel driver greets you with a big smile: 'Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!' He brings you straight to your hotel to relax and, along the way, you get your first impressions of vibrant Nairobi. The next day, your guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Let the adventure begin!

Day 2

Drive from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

In 5 hours, you travel from Nairobi into the Great Rift Valley, with sweeping views from the escarpment along the way. The route continues past farmland and wooded hills before descending into Lake Nakuru National Park, where flamingos and rhinos gather along the acacia-lined shores.

Day 3 - 4

En route to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve

Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara.

Day 5

Drive from Masai Mara National Reserve to Nairobi

The 6-hour return from the Mara to Nairobi traces a gradual shift in scenery…endless grasslands fading into patchwork highland farms, the bustle of Narok’s market streets, and finally the sprawling city. It’s a journey that gives you time to linger over the memories of the bush before the pace of urban life rushes back in.
