A member of our Africa Safari Trips staff or a hotel driver will greet you with a broad smile as you exit Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, saying, “Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!” He takes you directly to your hotel so you can unwind while getting a firsthand look at the vibrant city of Nairobi. The following day, you go on a private, exclusive safari with your guide that lets you go at your own speed. Now let’s go on the adventure!
📒 PLEASE NOTE: Check-in starts at 2:00 PM.


Lake Nakuru National Park is an incredible wildlife paradise located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s major attraction, Nakuru Lake, attracts hundreds of birds to its beaches. The park was once noted for its large flamingo population, but rising water levels forced these birds to migrate elsewhere. Fortunately, they are gradually returning, and in any event, Lake Nakuru is a fantastic site to visit, with black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard, and over 400 bird species.


Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara.


Today, you are going back to Nairobi, where you can either relax in your hotelroom or do a nearby activity.
