Itinerary

 

Day 1 Nairobi
Arrive in Nairobi at any time.

 

Day 2-6 Community Volunteer Project (5B,5L,5D)
Volunteer and experience life in the outskirts of Nairobi, where lives have been dramatically impacted by poverty, unemployment and HIV/AIDS. Volunteer in a local medical clinic working hand in hand with doctors and nurses and in an orphanage with time spent interacting with the children and providing assistance where needed. Activities may include teaching, playing games, assisting with the feeding program, painting and general maintenance. No volunteer experience is necessary.

 

Day 7 Nairobi (B)
Head back to Nairobi and explore the city while you wait to meet up with your safari group.

 

Day 8-9 Samburu Game Reserve (2B,2L,2D)
Samburu is a wildlife haven for many species that are rarely found elsewhere. Enjoy a full day game viewing in search of unique wildlife such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx and the Somali ostrich to name a few!

 

Day 10-11 Lake Nakuru (2B,2L,2D)
Descend into the Great Rift Valley enjoying stunning views of the escarpment on the way. Lake Nakuru is a shallow soda lake, renowned for its huge concentration of flamingos and over 460 species of birds. Embark on a safari within Lake Nakuru National Park, in search of the resident black and white rhino, buffalo, impala, and the elusive leopard.

 

Day 12-13 Masai Mara (2B,2L,2D)
With its vast open plains and distinctive flat-topped acacia trees, no visit to Kenya would be complete without a visit here! Spend time game viewing with excellent chances of seeing the "Big 5" - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino.

 

Day 14 Nairobi (B,L)
Enjoy one last morning game drive in the Masai Mara, watching the animal kingdom come to life as the sun rises over the Mara plain. Continue through the Great Rift Valley on your way back to Nairobi.
