9-Day Affordable Kenya Wildlife Safari
Welcome to the Affordable Kenya Wildlife Safari package. From the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve and the intriguing Maasai culture to the stunning Amboseli and the shimmering Lake Naivasha, this is a package of wildlife variety and exceptional natural beauty. What is even better is that this is an affordable package without reducing the activities and or the experience.
Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi, Kenya
Have a meet and greet upon arrival at the airport exit point by our team. They will help you through the airport formalities before transferring you to your Nairobi hotel. Check-in, freshen up and spend the rest of the day at leisure at the hotel, an oasis of serenity.
Day 2: Nairobi City Tour/Animal Sanctuaries
After a relaxed breakfast, you’ll be picked up from your Nairobi hotel and embark on a Nairobi city excursion offering you an opportunity to discover Nairobi’s beauty. Get to experience two of the most unique animal sanctuaries in the world. Firstly, visit David Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage and get to learn about the orphaned baby elephants and the reintegration process of returning them to the wild. After this excursion, visit the Giraffe Center for a face-to-face encounter with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes. Climb the feeding point and offer a giraffe a food pellet under the supervision of a trained staff member. Not only may (he or she) accept your offer, you may also be rewarded with a kiss. Lunch is on us at a local Nairobi restaurant serving a lunch menu with a fusion of Tamarind and Tamambo dishes. Return to your hotel for your overnight stay and dinner.
Day 3: Transfer from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
In the morning, you’ll be picked up from your Nairobi hotel and begin your Kenya adventure safari. Drive South through the Masai land to Amboseli National Park. Arrive at your lodge, check in, have lunch and relax for a short while then embark on an introductory game drive in Amboseli National Park in search of the ‘Big Five’ among other animals. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery—one of the best places for a photogenic view of Mount Kilimanjaro (if the weather permits). Return back to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 4: Amboseli National Park
The morning wake-up call is followed by tea or coffee before setting out for your morning game drive. This is generally the best time to spot the wildlife in action, as the temperatures are cool and the animals are still very active. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape, the birds awakening and the sense of a great adventure beginning to unfurl.
After these magical morning moments, transfer back to your lodge for a late breakfast. Then spend the day at leisure to enjoy the facilities the lodge has to offer and relax as you wait for lunch to be served. In the evening, embark on another game drive and enjoy seeing the predatory animals begin to stir from their heat-of-the-day slumber. Similarly, their prey becomes even more active and alert just as the sun is beginning to sink below the horizon. After this unforgettable experience, transfer back to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 5: Amboseli to Lake Naivasha
Rise up early to amazing views of Mount Kilimanjaro (if weather permits) from your lodge before clouds build up over the summit. Enjoy breakfast, check out and continue with your safari to Naivasha. Drive through the stunning and scenic Great Rift Valley with a brief stopover to admire the breathtaking views and optional shopping at the curio shops. Check in at the hotel, have lunch served and spend the rest of the day at leisure to enjoy the facilities the lodge has to offer.
At 3:00 pm, you will proceed for a boat cruise in the sparkling waters of Naivasha to Crescent Island Private Sanctuary for a unique nature walk with wildlife around the island and a view of an ornithological paradise. The sanctuary is home to giraffes, waterbucks, elands, wildebeests, zebras, impalas and hippos among other wildlife. Birds include fish eagles, ospreys, lily-trotters, etc.
Day 6: Lake Nakuru National Park Day Trip
After an early morning breakfast, we’ll set out to Lake Nakuru for a full-day game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park which focuses on the magnificent spectacles of flamingos. You’ll have park formalities then thrill up your day by enjoying a ‘spice’ game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park which has a spectacular landscape of bushland. It houses a huge diversity of wildlife not forgetting the famous white rhino and the panoramic views of the beautiful sceneries along the shores of the lake. You’ll have an opportunity of seeing millions of migratory birds and huge numbers of flamingos (depending on the season).
In the afternoon, transfer to Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge for lunch. After lunch, continue with your Lake Nakuru National Park game drive to see the hundreds of animals in the savannah, the acacia woodland and the swamps around the lake. Late in the afternoon, transfer back to your Naivasha hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 7: Transfer from Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
After a relaxed breakfast, check out from the hotel and drive to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Enjoy a brief stop-over in Narok town for refreshments and to use the restrooms before continuing your journey to Masai Mara with a short game drive en-route before reaching the lodge. Arrive at the lodge in time for check-in and lunch. Enjoy the facilities the lodge has to offer before heading out for a thrilling introductory evening game drive in the magnificent Masai Mara. Afterwards, return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

On this day, you can also choose to visit a Maasai village for a cultural experience this afternoon. After watching more of the spectacle that never gets dull, transfer back to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
