Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, meet your guides for a short transfer (approx. 20 minutes) to your hotel. Nestled amid lush gardens on the edge of Central Park, Nairobi Serena Hotel offers a serene blend of art, luxury, and five-star service — the perfect start to your Kenyan adventure.

Depart south toward Amboseli National Park (approx. 5-hour drive). Arrive in time for lunch, followed by your first game drive in the park. At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is famed for its vast herds of elephants and striking savannah views.

Morning and afternoon game drives exploring Amboseli’s diverse habitats — from dusty plains to lush swamps alive with elephants, buffalo, and hippos. In the evening, enjoy an unforgettable bush dinner beneath the African stars, guarded by Maasai warriors and accompanied by distant lion roars.

A full day to continue exploring Amboseli’s wildlife and photography opportunities, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a majestic backdrop.

After breakfast, journey north toward the Great Rift Valley (approx. 6 hours, depending on Nairobi traffic). En route, enjoy a scenic boat safari on Lake Naivasha, spotting hippos, giraffes, and rich birdlife. Continue to Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp, an intimate lakeside retreat within the Soysambu Conservancy, home to thousands of flamingos and pelicans.

A short drive brings you to Lake Nakuru National Park, renowned for its flamingos, rhinos, and acacia woodlands. Enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing before returning to your lakeside camp.

Spend the day exploring the Soysambu Conservancy, a 48,000-acre private reserve bordering Lake Nakuru. Home to over 10,000 mammals — including the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe — and more than 450 bird species, it’s a photographer’s paradise.

Depart for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve (approx. 7 hours). En route, enjoy the scenic Rift Valley vistas and stop for a picnic lunch. Your afternoon unfolds as one long game drive through the Mara, arriving at Mara Serena Safari Lodge, perched high above the Mara River with sweeping views of the plains below.

Morning and afternoon game drives through the Mara’s legendary savannahs. Keep your camera ready for lions, elephants, and — if lucky — the great wildebeest migration.

Another full day in the Masai Mara, capturing sunrise and sunset light across the golden plains. Optional visits to Maasai villages or bush sundowners.

Fly from the Serena Mara Airstrip to Lamu Island via Nairobi. Transfer by boat taxi to Peponi Hotel, a charming family-run property on Shela Beach. Relax by the turquoise waters or explore UNESCO-listed Lamu Old Town, one of Africa’s oldest Swahili settlements, rich in history and culture.

Enjoy the day at leisure — sail a traditional dhow, snorkel coral reefs, or unwind on secluded beaches.

Another free day to savor Lamu’s tranquil rhythm. Perhaps explore the town’s narrow streets or enjoy Peponi’s renowned seafood overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Transfer by boat to Lamu Airport for your flight to Nairobi, connecting with your international departure. Bid farewell to Kenya — asante sana — until next time.
