Nairobi
Arrival at Kenyan capital city - Nairobi
Enjoy dinner coupled with traditional dance performances and live music.
2 - 4
Ol Pejeta Conservancy
The drive from the urban center of Nairobi, through the fertile highlands, the semi-arid frontier of Kenya is breath-taking and great way to see the countryside. The drive will be about three hours.
Enjoy a game drive in world-renowned Ol Pejeta.
Visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary.
4 - 5
Lake Naivasha
Your guide will drive you from your lodge in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy to Lake Naivasha, through the rift valley. This drive will take about five hours.
5 - 8
Maasai Mara
Your guide will drive you from Naivasha to Masai Mara. This drive will take approximately five to six hours. Exploring the region, your guide will take you to nearby watering holes where on a hot day you’ll spot many birds and mammals, including, with luck, the elusive leopard.
Visit a local Masai village, or Boma. See the day-to-day lifestyle of the Masai first hand by visiting a functioning Boma, an authentic residence of local Masai who welcome clients of Mara West into their home. No visit to Kenya is complete without this truly unique cultural experience.
Enjoy adventurous hot air ballooning experience which begins just before dawn. Reach the launch site, and flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. The first pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies as the hot air balloon fills, then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy for breakfast in the wilderness, then you’re off for a wildlife viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective.

Take a flight from Maasai Mara to Nairobi Wilson Airport (1 hour journey) and further transfer to Nairobi - Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your return flight to home.
