Program
Day 1: Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Today, you will awake to the exotic birdcalls in a magical new world with the whiff of Kenyan serenity. You will meet at 7 a.m. for a safari briefing before you take a drive to the famous Ol Pejeta Conservancy. You will arrive at camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before you head out for your first game drive between 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Host to all the members of the ‘Big Five' (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard), the conservancy has a higher wildlife-to-area ratio than any Kenyan national park. The conservancy boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, hosts the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya, and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species.
Your luxury camp is a sheltered oasis, clustered around a water hole and set in the pristine calm of the private Ol Pejeta Conservancy; Sweetwaters Serena Camp offers a charming blend of under canvas ambiance and Kenyan safari luxury.
Day 2: Lake Nakuru National Park
Rise up early for a morning game drive before returning to the camp for breakfast. Check out and leave Ol Pejeta Conservancy for Lake Nakuru National Park. You will arrive at camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before you head out for an evening game drive between 4 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Lake Nakuru National Park offers you a rare insight into Kenya’s most diverse flora, fauna, and wildlife and is famous for its huge flocks of pink flamingoes. The birds throng on Lake Nakuru itself, one of the Rift Valley soda lakes that comprises almost a third of the park's area. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here as well as a rich diversity of other wildlife.
Lions, leopards, warthogs, waterbucks, pythons, and white rhinos are just some of the animals you might see, and the landscapes range from sweeping grasslands bordering the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland. The park also protects the largest euphorbia candelabrum forest in Africa.
Day 3: Masai Mara Game Reserve
Rise up early for breakfast, check out and depart Nakuru for Masai Mara Game Reserve. You will arrive at the lodge with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before you head out for your evening game drive between 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Masai Mara is one of the lushest reserves in Africa and is globally renowned for the great migration when thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle travel to and from the Serengeti, from July through October. In the Mara River, throngs of hippos and crocodiles lurk.
Day 4: Masai Mara
Rise early today for breakfast. As the cool, fresh air fills your lungs you will feel invigorated and rejuvenated, ready for a great full-day game drive. Roll down the windows or stand up through the customized pop-up roof hatch and enjoy these unhindered 360-degree views, and the possibilities for what lies ahead.
Masai Mara Game Reserve is known for providing excellent predator sightings in its natural habitats thanks to its relatively large populations of lions, cheetah, and leopards. You will also see lots of elephants, Masai giraffe, common zebra, impala, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelles, topi, hartebeest, black-backed jackal, spotted hyena, and more.
You shall also enjoy your packed lunch in the game reserve and in the evening return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 5: Nairobi
Early morning pre-breakfast game drive to track the wildcats as they hunt and kill very early in the morning. At 8:30 a.m., back to the camp for full breakfast, later proceed for a drive back to the buzzing Kenya’s capital with lunch en-route, bringing to an end what Kenya Tru Nomads Tours hopes shall be a safari of your lifetime. Kenya Tru Nomads Tours hopes to welcome you back to magical Kenya! And as they say here, “Karibu Tena”.

George Husein
George has been traveling around Kenya for more than a decade and his love affair with the bush started when he came face to face with a lion while on a game drive in Tsavo East National Park; the lion jumped and slapped his windscreen. He is an adventure guide with a wide experience. He is a graduate of Utalii College in Kenya and he has very sharp eyes for spotting prey even where you cannot see them. His wide experience and passion for the wilderness have earned him several positive reviews from guests.
Location
Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara is regarded as Kenya’s favorite and most popular game reserve, with over 140,000 visitors per year. The reserve lies approximately 270 kilometers west of Nairobi and covers an area of approximately 1,510 square kilometers, bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The landscape is mostly open savannah grasslands and acacia shrubland.
Starting any time from late July large herds of Wildebeest and Zebra follow the rains and start grazing in the wide and open grasslands of what has become fondly known as “The Mara”. They may be late, but they will always make the trip, driven by dry conditions in the Serengeti and led by lightning and thunder to the north.
Come November they start the homeward journey bound again for the Serengeti. This annual spectacle is known as the “Wildebeest Migration” and is not to be missed!
At this time of year, you will also see a large number of lions, hippos, crocodiles, and vultures, all of which prey on the weak and young migrating animals. Other games to be found in the Masai Mara at any time of the year include elephants, cheetah, baboons, gazelle, giraffe, jackals, leopard, hyenas, water buffalo, ostriches, and a large variety of antelope and birdlife.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park is just about 95 miles northwest of Nairobi. For the lovers of bird watching, it is home to over 400 bird species, including both the greater and lesser flamingoes, as well as white rhinos.
Other games to be found in the Maasai Mara at any time of the year include elephants, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles, giraffes, jackals, leopards, hyenas, water buffalos, ostriches, and a large variety of antelope and birdlife.
