ALL IN A SYMPHONY OF NATURE

7 DAYS KENYA:
BIG FIVE SPECIAL

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the Big Five with your own eyes, head north of Nairobi on this amazing 7-day journey.

This route first takes you to the Ol’ Pejeta Conservancy – a beautiful park where you can see both black and white rhinos. After this grand kick-off, your next stop will bring you to the rhino sanctuary at the Solio Game Reserve, followed by a special touch of pink: hundreds of flamingos on the mesmerising Lake Nakuru. En route to the Masai Mara National Reserve you’ll pass by Lake Naivasha for a boat safari in between hippos and a walking safari on the stunning Crescent Island. Last but not least, you’ll submerge yourself in an abundance of wildlife while roaming the breathtakingly beautiful Masai Mara for two days. It couldn’t be more perfect!

DAY 1

Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Embari Tours & Safari 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.

DAY 2

Ol' Pejeta Conservancy

The Ol’ Pejeta Conservancy is a protected area set up for endangered species. For rhino lovers, this is a pure heaven on earth with a population of more than 100 black rhinos, almost 40 southern white rhinos AND the last two remaining northern white rhinos worldwide. These white rhinos can even be visited up close! Besides rhinos, the conservancy hosts endangered species like the African wild dog, the oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest and GrĂ©vy’s zebra, and houses a sanctuary for abused or orphaned chimpanzees.

DAY 3

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.

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.

Activities:

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

Today is 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. As this road trip takes up the biggest part of your day, no game drive is planned today. You sleep in an accommodation just outside the park to be well-rested for all the beauty the Mara has to offer the next day!

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most famous places for safari worldwide. Located 270 kilometres west of Nairobi, this is one of the biggest game reserves in Africa. It extends over 1,500 km² and has more than 400 species of birds and no less than 95 species of mammals. Big cats are frequently spotted here, and this is THE place to watch the world-famous Great Migration between August and October, with its vast herds of wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River.

DAY 6

Boat ride on Lake Naivasha and walking safari on Crescent Island

Have you ever wanted to pass floating hippos by boat? Seek no longer: during a boat safari on Lake Naivasha this is exactly what will happen. You will pass between huge groups of hippos while seeing eagles and cormorants flying above you, and admiring giraffes on the shore. The safari on board a small motorized boat takes about 60 minutes and ends on the beautiful Crescent Island, where you will continue with a stunning walking safari between zebras, giraffes and wildebeests.
