Detailed Itinerary for 8 Days Kenya Family Safari
DAY 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park
Your safari driving guide will pick you up at your hotel or apartment in Nairobi and give you a quick overview of what to expect on your safari before departing for Lake Nakuru National Park, a birder’s paradise and home to black and white rhinos.
After checking in, arrive in the park in time for lunch at your lodge. In the afternoon, you will go on a game drive and expect to see a variety of wildlife, including rhinos, lions, leopards, hyenas, rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and an array of antelopes such as impalas, gazelles, waterbucks, and Dik Dik, among others. You will also visit Lake Nakuru for breathtaking views of flamingos, who are drawn to the lake by the abundance of green algae in the soda-rich water. Return to your resort for supper and an overnight stay.
DAY 2: Lake Nakuru – Masai Mara National Park
After having your breakfast, you will travel from Lake Nakuru National Park to Maasai Mara National Reserve, passing through the Great Rift Valley floor and western escarpments constructed ages ago by the shifting of the earth’s tectonic plates. You will arrive at the reserve in time for lunch, and in the afternoon, you will embark on a wildlife viewing drive across the reserve’s rolling hills and wide plains. During the adventure, you will see lions, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeests, elands, and gazelles. In the evening, you will return to your lodge for dinner and the night.
DAY 3 – 4: Masai Mara – Game drives
On this day, you will go on a full-day game drive through the plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, exploring more of the reserve’s scenery. You will see the Big Five animals, which are lions, leopards, elephants, cape buffaloes, and rhinos, as well as other animals such as giraffes, zebras, hippos, baboons, wildebeests, warthogs, gazelles, crocodiles, and numerous bird species.
The Great wildebeest migration, which takes place between July and October, brings over one million wildebeests and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles north from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara national reserve. During their voyage, these animals face perils from predators, including traversing the Mara River, which is plagued with Nile Crocodiles.
In the afternoon, you may go on an optional tour to the Masai Village, where you can interact with community members and learn about local dances and Maasai culture. Return to your lodge for supper and an overnight stay.
DAY 5: Masai Mara – Amboseli
Exit the Maasai Mara and travel to Amboseli National Park, arriving in time for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a wildlife drive. Explore the park and view vast herds of elephants, as well as other game species such as zebras, giraffes, and many more, with Mount Kilimanjaro serving as a stunning backdrop. Your lodge will serve dinner and provide overnight accommodations.
Day 6-7: Full day in Amboseli
Your early morning wildlife drive is the most gratifying since it allows us to discover predators hunting or feasting on their prey. Picnic breakfast at the observation hill, which offers stunning 360-degree views of the park’s desert parts, marshes, lakes, and, on a clear day, Mount Kilimanjaro. Lunch and time to unwind or swim in the pool. Afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 8: Return to Nairobi
Early morning wildlife drive, with the final chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro. Return to your lodge or camp for a late breakfast at the lodge before driving back to Nairobi.
