With Jossec Safaris, you’ll be in good hands, led by experienced guides who know these parks inside and out and supported by a dedicated team focused on making your experience unforgettable. You’ll travel comfortably in a 4x4 jeep designed for safari, providing the perfect vantage for your adventure.
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Your adventure begins the moment you meet our warm, welcoming Jossec Safaris team in Nairobi. After a thorough safari briefing, you’ll be on your way to the Masai Mara, the land of endless plains and thriving wildlife. Your 4x4 jeep journey will be as comfortable as it is scenic, taking you through stunning Kenyan landscapes en route to the Mara. Upon arrival, you’ll settle in at Rhino Tourist Camp, where your accommodations blend the charm of traditional safari camps with the comforts you crave after a day of travel. Later in the afternoon, it’s time for your first game drive. Here in the Masai Mara, the thrill of spotting lions, elephants, and possibly even elusive leopards will be unforgettable. Your evening back at the camp will be cozy, surrounded by nature’s beauty.
Day 2: Full Day in Masai Mara
Today, prepare for a full day immersed in the natural wonders of the Masai Mara. Our guides are true experts, navigating the plains to find the best spots for witnessing the incredible diversity of the Mara. The chance to spot the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino – makes this day especially exciting. If you’re interested in a truly unique experience, consider an optional hot air balloon safari ($450), where you'll float over the Mara at sunrise, watching wildlife from above as dawn breaks over the savannah. In the evening, unwind back at Rhino Tourist Camp, sharing stories of the day’s adventures around the campfire or over a delicious meal.
Day 3: Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru National Park
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll leave the Mara’s captivating landscapes behind and make your way to Lake Nakuru National Park. The morning drive through Kenya’s countryside is a scenic delight, and upon arrival, you’ll check in at Lanet Matfam Resort. Known for its warm hospitality, this resort provides a refreshing stop with cozy rooms, hot showers, and mosquito nets for a restful night’s sleep. In the afternoon, you’ll explore Lake Nakuru, a park famous for its vibrant birdlife and large flamingo populations. This is also one of the best places to spot rhinos in Kenya, making the afternoon game drive both exciting and picturesque.
Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Aberdares National Park
Today, your journey continues to Aberdares National Park, where you’ll be treated to yet another incredible wildlife experience. Checking in at Tree Tops Hotel is an adventure in itself; this historic lodge offers elevated views of a waterhole where animals frequently visit. Imagine the thrill of watching elephants, buffaloes, and sometimes even leopards right from the comfort of your hotel’s viewing deck. The Aberdares’ lush forests and waterfalls add a touch of mystique to this park, and the hotel’s unique vantage point provides a rare opportunity to observe animals in their natural routines, day and night.
Day 5: Aberdares to Nairobi
On your final day, enjoy breakfast at Tree Tops before setting off on your return journey to Nairobi. Your safari with Jossec Safaris ends with a heartfelt farewell, and our team will ensure a smooth drop-off at your Nairobi hotel or the airport, filled with stories, photos, and memories that will last a lifetime.
