Tour Plan
Welcome to Kenya!
On arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and assisted by a representative from KAYLAN TOURS & TRAVEL. After a short safari briefing on the events ahead, meet our expert safari guide. Depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, where a leisurely drive will take you through the Great Rift Valley. Arrive and embark on a game viewing drive en route to your safari lodge or tented camp offering panoramic views of Lake Nakuru.
Following lunch, you will have some time to relax, before heading out for an afternoon game viewing drive. Lake Nakuru National Park is Kenya's first and largest rhino sanctuary where sightings of both black and white rhino are almost guaranteed. The park is also well known for its bird life and offers a possibility to view flamingos. It is also home to the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. Other wildlife includes; leopard, lion, hippo, Colobus monkey, and numerous plains game.
Overnight – Lake Nakuru National Park
Meals Included – Lunch and Dinner
After morning game drive in Lake Nakuru, drive south to Lake Naivasha. You will have lunch and enjoy the hotel facilities. Swim in the supersized pool or visit the gym for a work out session.
In the afternoon, go for a Boat Safari at Lake Naivasha, the highest lake in the Rift Valley. Fringed by papyrus and with the extinct Mount Longonot as a backdrop, this is a wonderful place to watch and photograph birds. Everything from pelicans to cranes to smaller, more brightly coloured birds are on display. The waters themselves are home to wallowing hippopotamuses, and along the shores, you'll spot Cape Buffalo and other herbivores.
You will also visit Crescent Island Game Sanctuary. Easily combined with the Boat Safari, a visit to the Crescent Island offers a rare chance to literally walk with the animals. The island sanctuary isn't home to any predators, so you can safely trade the safari car for your own two feet as you wander alongside zebras, giraffes, and wildebeest!
Overnight – Lake Naivasha
Meals Included – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Your drive now takes you to the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous wildlife reserve offering wonderful scenery and plenty of game. Arrive and embark on a game viewing drive en route to your safari lodge or tented camp for lunch. Relax at leisure this afternoon before venturing to the reserve for a game viewing drive until dusk.
Masai Mara is regarded as one of the premier wildlife sanctuaries in Africa due to its abundant wildlife. A visit to the Mara almost guarantees visitors to see lions, elephants, cheetah, leopard, cape buffalo, and rhinoceros, as well as giraffes, hippos, hyenas, Nile crocodiles, wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, antelopes, and more.
Overnight – Masai Mara
Meals Included – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Taking packed picnic lunch box from the lodge / tented with you, explore Masai Mara on a full day game viewing drive. The yearly wildebeest migration (July to September) coming through the park is one of the world’s most amazing wildlife spectacles. In between the wildlife activities relax and take a swim in the lodge / camp’s pool providing uninterrupted views of the majestic African bush.
Overnight – Masai Mara
