Tour Itinerary
Embark on a 7-day adventure across Kenya’s most diverse and breathtaking landscapes, with Jossec Safaris. This carefully curated safari takes you to four of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destinations, promising unique wildlife encounters, captivating scenery, and authentic safari experiences.
Your journey begins with a warm welcome in Nairobi, where you’ll meet the Jossec Safaris team for a briefing before heading out in a 4x4 jeep towards the rugged beauty of Samburu National Reserve. The drive north takes you through stunning scenery, arriving at your lodge just in time for lunch. Samburu is home to unique species like the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, and the gerenuk, which you’ll have the chance to spot on your first afternoon game drive. The region’s dry and dramatic landscapes set the tone for an exciting start to your adventure.
On Day 2, a full day in Samburu awaits with morning and afternoon game drives. You’ll explore the reserve’s arid landscapes, spotting elephants, lions, and an array of birdlife. Your day will also include time to relax at your lodge, giving you a perfect balance of adventure and comfort. Sundowners in the wild cap off an incredible day of exploration.
Next, you’ll head to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a haven for wildlife conservation and home to the Big Five. The conservancy is renowned for its black rhino population, and you’ll also visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Game drives here are intimate and offer a chance to spot not only the Big Five but also endangered species. Ol Pejeta offers a rich safari experience that combines conservation with thrilling wildlife sightings.
After Ol Pejeta, the safari continues to the serene Lake Naivasha. You’ll enjoy a scenic boat ride across the lake, where hippos and a wealth of bird species, including the famous fish eagles, can be seen. You’ll also embark on a guided walking safari at Crescent Island, an idyllic spot where you can walk alongside zebras, giraffes, and antelopes. The peaceful beauty of Lake Naivasha provides a tranquil contrast to the previous days’ game drives.
The excitement builds as you reach the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations. Here, you’ll be treated to world-class game drives, with a chance to witness the Big Five in their natural habitat. The Masai Mara’s vast open plains, dotted with acacia trees, offer some of the best wildlife viewing on the continent. If your visit coincides with the Great Migration, you’ll have the rare opportunity to see thousands of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, with predators lying in wait. To elevate your experience further, an optional hot air balloon ride over the Mara’s savannahs is available at $450.
On the final day, after one last early morning game drive, you’ll journey back to Nairobi, with memories of an unforgettable adventure. Whether it’s the intimate wildlife moments, the stunning landscapes, or the exceptional hospitality at your lodges, this safari offers the ultimate Kenyan experience.
