Nairobi-Maasai Mara National Reserve

Day 1

Nairobi-Maasai Mara National Reserve

Depart early in the morning to Maasai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp. Mid-range lodge located just outside Masai Mara NR Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Full day at the Mara

Day 2

Full day at the Mara

You will be taken on two game drives today, in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals as they are most active. To get some of the best game viewing of the day, an early start is needed to beat the heat of the sun. This is the time that the big cats are most active and can provide some of the most dramatic photography thanks to the beautiful lighting. Although it might be tempting to stay in bed and wait until the afternoon to explore, I promise you this is a game drive you don't want to miss. This is a bush experience that will surely create lifetime memories. If you are fortunate enough you will catch lions during one of their rare bouts of daytime activities and it’ll be fascinating to watch the social interaction between pride members especially the playful ways of lion cubs under the watchful eyes of their mothers.

Day 3

Maasai Mara -Lake Nakuru National Park

You will have an early morning pick up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. Arrive in the flamingo fringed Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch and afternoon game drive. We will embark on a comprehensive game drive of this scenic park including visits to viewpoints which offer superb photo opportunities. Lake Nakuru is one of several Rift Valley lakes and its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity with Flamingos (Greater and Lesser) and other water birds being the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals including the white rhino and buffaloes and a variety of terrestrial birds numbering nearly 450 species. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 4

Lake Nakuru- Lake Naivasha

We'll have an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry. An optional boat ride can be organized at an extra cost. You will also visit Crescent Island. This is a private Island on Lake Naivasha that rose to fame after the 1985 movie “Out of Africa” that showcased the beautiful nature of Lake Naivasha and its surrounding. It can be described as a garden, an animal sanctuary or simply a little paradise. This magical space offers a number of unforgettable experiences, which you should definitely get to experience. If you enjoy nature photography then you will be overwhelmed by the beauty that the Crescent Island holds. From small to big animals, birds, the sunset hitting the water surface and the lush green vegetation that covers the space. Most of the animals here are herbivores such as Giraffes, Zebras, Impalas and Hippos.

Reliable and Professional Safari Experience

We had an amazing experience with this reliable and professional travel agency. From the start, Lencer provided quick and professional service when helping us plan our itinerary, making the process smooth and stress-free. Our driver and guide, Johnathon, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. He provided fascinating insights and answered all our questions with patience and expertise. It's important to remember that spotting animals is partly a matter of luck, so we recommend spending a few extra days on the savannah for the best chances. Each evening, we discussed and adjusted the next day's plan with Johnathon based on various factors like weather, road conditions, and our energy levels. This flexibility and open communication were key to making the trip enjoyable and tailored to our needs. We highly recommend this travel agency for anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Their professionalism and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable!

We’ve seen all different kinds of wild animals with his experienced knowledge of spotting where they most likely to be. 100% recommendation, 10 out of 10 stars! You won’t be disappointed!

Flexible and reliable tour operator

Our tour operator contact was Lencer. She was very flexible in organizing our travel itineraries to meet our preferences and needs in terms of where we wanted to go, how we wanted to get there and how long we wanted to stay at each place. She also made sure that we were picked up on time by our various drivers and guides, that we reached our various destinations safely. This wasn’t easy as we travelled to see family in Nairobi, visited 2 safaris and beach vacation, all on a very tight schedule. Our various guides were also very good and knowledgeable, particularly David in Masai Mara, who made sure we saw as many animals as possible on our safari trip. On our last day of our trip, we discovered that we had a lot of extra time at the airport in Nairobi with nothing to do. Lencer then arranged for us a last minute trip to the Giraffe centre that she took upon herself to take us to. It was all in all a very enjoyable and adventurous trip. We were well taken care of 100% of the time.

Timely reply to messages to solve problems.

The cost-effectiveness is very high, the staff are very friendly, and the driver is very cooperative with our travel. The only drawback is that the initially agreed upon hotel was not successfully booked, resulting in price changes.
