6 Days Scenic Highlights Adventure

Upon arrival you will be picked up by your safari guide and transferred to Ololo Safari Lodge - A boutique Safari Lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park, Kenya. Ololo Safari Lodge, owned and run by an Australian farming family, offers the warmth and comfort of a home with effortless style and personalized service. Originally an old Kenyan homestead and since converted to a small lodge, Ololo is perfectly situated, on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park. Stay: Ololo Safari Lodge.

Wildlife is right on your doorstep and you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Nairobi national park, to the famed Ngong Hills in the west, sundowner at hand. Or you may like to while the hours away at the lodge by the pool, adventure on a safari into the park, or take a tour of the Ololo Farm excursion, the choice is yours!

After breakfast, drive to Lake Nakuru, arriving in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive. The park is a haven for bird lovers, with over 400 species of bird – although be aware that the number of birds here fluctuates dependent on water level, so it’s best to check with the park if this is your primary reason for visiting. Lake Nakuru National Park also provides habitat for lion, leopard, buffalo and Rothschild giraffe, as well as white rhino and the endangered black rhino. Stay: 2 nights at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge

Set on a plateau along the Lion Hill, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is arguably one of the best accommodations from which to view the incredible Lake Nakuru and the thousands of flamingos that line its shores. An idyllic escape, the lodge is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and offers panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding National Park.

Exploring Lake Nakuru National Park is the main attraction, bringing you not only to see the lake’s flamingos and other abundant birdlife, but also the colobus monkey, the endangered white rhino and other wildlife like lion, leopard, zebra, gazelle, eland and giraffe.

After an early breakfast, drive to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The most famous reserve in the world, the Maasai Mara is what safari dreams are made of – rolling grasslands and wide open savannah, rich in African wildlife. Here is the place to witness the incredible annual wildebeest migration between July and October as over a million animals thunder across the plains in search of water and grazing – but the Mara has mass appeal all year round. Spot lions basking in the shade or seek out an elusive solo leopard.

You have the option of doing a hot air balloon ride that will offer you an entirely different perspective of the Mara, when the bright pink-orange haze is visible for miles across the vast savannah and wildlife becomes distinguishable from their silhouette forms below. Afterwards, you’ll head out on morning and afternoon game drives. The reserve offers fantastic chances of seeing the Big Five – and even better opportunities for viewing big cats. Other wildlife to spot includes elephant, giraffe, hyena, impala, wildebeest and buffalo. Stay: 2 nights at Bateleur Camp

After an early breakfast, you’ll begin the long drive back to Nairobi. Approx. journey time: 7 hours. Transfer to the airport for your return flight home. Here, we will wave a fond farewell to you and your family as your once-in-a-lifetime Kenyan safari comes to an end.
