Your Experience

Getting started
Begin your 5 Days Samburu & Masai Mara Lodge Safari with airport or hotel pick-up in Nairobi and round-trip transfers to the parks. After meeting your expert English-speaking guide, you board your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof and charging points. Once your luggage is loaded, you set off toward your first lodge where your full-board stay begins with dinner.
What to expect
Samburu National Reserve
Your safari starts in the arid north at Samburu, known for its red-tinged landscapes and wildlife adapted to dry country.
Features
- You explore in a private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, which lets you stand to watch wildlife and use the in-vehicle charging points to keep cameras and phones powered during game drives.
- The Samburu Special Five are a core focus here: your guide helps you track the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy’s Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Beisa Oyx, and Gerenuk, explaining how each has adapted to this region.
- Time along the Ewaso Nyiro River gives you the chance to see elephants and crocodiles using this water source, while your guide shares insights into animal behavior and ecology.
- Park entrance and conservation fees for Samburu are already covered, and during drives you have bottled mineral water in the vehicle plus the support of your professional English-speaking driver-guide.
Masai Mara National Reserve
Next, you continue to the Masai Mara, a classic savannah landscape with rolling hills and rich predator and plains-game viewing.
Features
- Here you search for the Masai Mara Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos, with your guide positioning the vehicle for clear viewing from the pop-up roof.
- Drives near the Mara River highlight seasonal wildlife drama, including the intense river crossings of the Great Migration when it is taking place, alongside hippos and other resident species.
- Across both reserves, 4 nights of full-board safari lodge accommodation are included, with all breakfasts, lunches, and dinners provided so you can focus fully on time in the bush.
- All park entrance and conservation fees for the Masai Mara, round-trip transfers, bottled mineral water in the vehicle, and guiding by an expert English-speaking guide are included throughout the safari.
Wrapping up
Your final morning game drive usually ends with a return road journey in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser back to Nairobi, where your round-trip transfers conclude at your hotel or the airport so you can continue your travels.
