Pack your camera and prep your social accounts for an onslaught of envy-inducing animal encounters captured on this six-day tour through Kenya and Uganda. This itinerary has been crafted around multiple national parks and lakes that are known for spotting Africa's most iconic safari wildlife — cheetahs, gazelles, and flamingoes, just to name a few. Get even closer to these creatures with overnight stays in safari camps, sleeping where the animals roam. Rawr!

Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Nairobi

    Arrive at any time.

    Prepare for tomorrow’s early morning by checking out the hotel bar with your newest friends. Travelling can take a lot out of you so sit back, fill those food and drink needs, and spend a chill night becoming familiar with your group and CEO.

  • Day 2

    Nairobi/Masai Mara

    Hit the road and journey through the Great Rift Valley today on the way to one of the most famous national parks in Africa and Kenya’s premier wildlife reserve.

    Stretch those legs and take in your surroundings before heading on a late afternoon wildlife safari drive with excellent chances of seeing the “big five”. This natural environment coupled with the park’s varied wildlife provides for a spectacular safari experience.

  • Day 3

    Masai Mara

    Grab those cameras and jump in the safari vehicle with your driver/guide to spot wildlife in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Listen to your guide describe the African bush as you traverse one of the world’s top safari destinations. Masai Mara is known for its abundance of big cats and wildebeest (see if you can capture a picture of one)!

  • Day 4

    Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru National Park

    Awake to the sounds of the bush as your alarm clock before jumping in your 4x4 safari vehicle. Today, the group is heading to Lake Nakuru, known for harbouring flocks of pink flamingos and a rich variety of bird species.

    Before reaching the safari lodge inside Lake Nakuru National Park, you’ll stop at the the tour operator-supported Ubuntu Cafe where you will meet up with the Lando, enjoy a meal, and have the opportunity to shop for locally and internationally sold products as memorable and impactful souvenirs.

    Later, the group will go on an afternoon wildlife drive through the area.

  • Day 5

    Lake Nakuru National Park/Eldoret

    Another day, another chance to see more wildlife and live your African safari dream. After your morning safari drive around Lake Nakuru keeping your eyes wide open in search of buffalo, impala, and the elusive leopard. The group will bump along in the Lando sharing photos of your day on the road to Eldoret.

  • Day 6

    Eldoret/Kampala

    It’s time to cross another country off of those travel lists as you cross the border from Kenya into Uganda. Drive along reminiscing on inside jokes and experiences from the trip before arriving in Kampala in the late afternoon.

    If you plan on flying out today, please do not book flights before 11:30pm.

    If you aren’t ready to go home yet (we don’t blame you) talk to your CEO about extending and get to know more of Uganda or beyond.

  • There's only so much you can control on a safari trip. You can't control what animals you'll see, the weather, etc. But G-Adventures staff goes above and beyond to make sure those things that can be controlled (ie. contingency planning, communication, scheduling, bringing the vibes etc.) is done to maximize the enjoyment of your experience. Having experienced, knowledgeable and personable guides made sure we enjoyed our time while nature and luck handled the rest. 10/10 Everything that G Adventures could control went smoothly and seamlessly. Chris, Mia and Helms were fantastic about setting expectations, communicating clearly, and going the extra mile every time the opportunity presented itself. I'm astounded by the tireless efforts of the guides and staff.
