Day 1
Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve
Leave Nairobi after breakfast and proceed to Samburu. Heading north, you’ll pass near Thika and continue through some breathtaking scenery dotted with rushing mountain streams and fields of tea and coffee. After Nanyuki town, you’ll continue north, eventually reaching a dusty outpost known as Isiolo, the last major stop on the journey into the remote Northern Frontier district. From here, it’s a fairly short hop to Samburu. Arrive at the camp on time for check–in and lunch. In the late afternoon, depart for your first game drive, returning to the camp as the sun sets. Dinner and overnight are at Samburu Sopa Lodge. Mid-range lodge located inside Samburu NR Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Samburu National Reserve Stay: Samburu Sopa Lodge Mid-range lodge located inside Samburu NR Meals: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Explore Samburu NR
After an early breakfast, you will venture out in search of the big cats of Samburu and other wild species before returning to the lodge for lunch. The rest of the day is spent at leisure and relaxing as you get ready for your evening game drive. Your afternoon game drive will commence, during which you will enjoy different species of flora and fauna while the sun is setting. The Samburu Reserve is one of the most visited national parks, with plenty of wildlife ranging from the rare Northern specialist species such as Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, and gerenuk to the Beisa oryx. These animals are also known as the Samburu Special Five. Return for dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Day 3
Samburu to Aberdare NP
After breakfast, travel south, crossing the equator to The Aberdare Country Club, nestled on the slopes of Mweiga Hill. After lunch and high tea. This outstanding lodge offers high-altitude game viewing, including animals rarely encountered elsewhere: giant forest hog, bush pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive bongo. Wildlife can be observed from different levels; from outside, you can see, hear and smell everything, and from inside, you can sit with a cup of tea and stay warm and cozy. You can request to be awakened at night if your favourite animals show up. A herd of elephants might be just feet away, and if you are lucky, a leopard or a large male lion might appear.

Day 4
Aberdare to Lake Nakuru National Park
After breakfast, there will be a morning pick-up as we drive to Lake Nakuru National Park with an en-route game drive. Lake Nakuru National Park is known all over the world for its flamingos. The lake is alkaline and recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world. You’ll arrive at the flamingo-fringed Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch and check-in. In the afternoon, 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. Its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity, with flamingos (greater and lesser) and other waterbirds being the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals, including white rhinos and buffalos, and a variety of terrestrial birds, numbering 450 species.

Day 5
Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
Naivasha is yet another area popular for birdwatching (over 400 species). There are no crocodiles in the lake, as the water is too cold for them due to the altitude, but there are several hippos. An optional boat ride can be organized at an extra cost. You will also visit Crescent Island, which can be described as a garden, an animal sanctuary or simply a little paradise. If you enjoy photography, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of Crescent Island. From small to big animals and birds, the sunset hits the water’s surface and the lush green vegetation that covers the space. Most of the animals here are herbivores, such as giraffes, zebras, impalas and hippos.

Pauline · Qatar
Absolutely fantastic experience seeing all the wildlife
We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had during our tour with Mimsoft Safaris. Wonderful lodges, excellent services, with wonderful meals onboard. Kenya 🇰🇪 is definitely one of those places, especially the savannah(Mara), the actual beauty of which you can not capture through your camera lens no matter what you do. It settles deep into your soul in ways you cannot imagine. You lose track of time, and you lose your connection with this artificial world. You only exist in the wild, alongside your oldest pals, and get a good whiff of how far humans have strayed away from what they were supposed to be. Kenya was fantastic, and it was nothing less than a wonderful surprise for all of us. The weather, the hospitality inside the resorts, and lodges were excellent. Thank you Steve, for planning and execution of a wonderful safari for us. We wish to visit Kenya in the future, again.
Christine · United Kingdom
Holiday of a lifetime
We loved Kenya: it did not disappoint. The landscapes were spectacular, the animal sightings amazing, the people interesting, informed and so wanting us to have a good experience. We cannot thank Mimsoft Safaris enough. Steve was amazing, ready to help if need be. Thank you. Don’t hesitate to visit Kenya as soon as you can!
