Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Nairobi

    There are no planned activities until an evening welcome meeting.

  • Day 2

    Nairobi/Samburu National Reserve

    Depart Nairobi and drive north through the farmlands of the Kikuyu people, passing Mt Kenya, Africa's second highest mountain (5199m/17,060ft).

    Just outside the national reserve, visit a local Samburu village. Similar in appearance to the Masai but less known, the Samburu are a proud warrior tribe. Watch traditional Samburu dancing, and learn about Samburu tribal life and customs. The walk within the village is run by Samburu tribesmen for the benefit of the community.

    Continue to Samburu National Reserve, a wildlife haven to many species rarely found elsewhere.

    Enjoy an afternoon wildlife safari drive in search of large elephant and big cat populations living within this wild part of Kenya.

  • Day 3

    Samburu National Reserve

    A full day wildlife safari drive to spot a group of animals only seen north of the equator, such as the beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, Grevy's zebra, the majestic reticulated giraffe, and the long-necked gerenuk, a graceful antelope that stands upright on its hind legs to feed on tall bushes.

  • Day 4

    Samburu National Reserve/Lake Nakuru National Park

    Nakuru, meaning “dusty place” in the Maasai language, is a cheerful and vibrant agricultural town with a variety of colourful local markets.

    Camp outside the town at the edge of Lake Nakuru National Park, the area’s principal highlight and best natural attraction. Time and weather permitting, there may be an opportunity to visit a local tea farm and see how the tea is grown, picked and produced.

    Lake Nakuru National Park

    Embark on a safari within Lake Nakuru National Park, in search of buffalo, impala, and the elusive leopard.

  • Day 6

    Lake Nakuru National Park/Masai Mara

    Depart for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. With its vast open plains and distinctive flat-topped acacia trees, no visit to Kenya would be complete without a visit to this reserve.

    Arrive in the afternoon and get settled at the permanent tented camp, the base for exploring the Mara.

    Head into the reserve for an afternoon wildlife safari drive.

  • Day 7

    Masai Mara

    Rise early for a wildlife safari drive during the best time to spot animals and criss-cross the rolling hills of the African savannah. With a full day to explore the area, we can cover a lot of ground. If time allows, visit the Mara River area.

  • Day 8

    Masai Mara/Nairobi

    Breathe in the fresh morning air as you enjoy the African sun while it rises over the savanna of the "Mara". Visit a watering hole while on a morning wildlife safari drive, a perfect time and place for wildlife photography. Head back to Nairobi and visit the G for Good supported Amani Ya Juu for lunch.

  • Day 9

    Nairobi/Arusha

    Journey across the border into Tanzania, arriving in the picturesque town of Arusha in the afternoon.

    Arusha/Mto wa Mbu

    Travel to Mto wa Mbu and take part in a cultural walk to learn about life in the area. Meet the women who run the rural town's tours and enjoy a delicious home made traditional lunch.

    Spend the afternoon viewing wildlife along the main road that winds through a lush cool forests of Lake Manyara National Park, overgrown with ficus trees and covered with bromeliads.

    This area is truly stunning, as the western wall of the Rift Valley escarpment provides a gorgeous backdrop. Search for the phenomenal birdlife, tree-climbing lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos.

  • Day 11

    Mto wa Mbu/Serengeti National Park

    Drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and on to Serengeti National Park. En route marvel at the sheer vastness of this territory, and spot the multitude of animal and birdlife while cruising through this acacia-accented savanna.

  • It was a disappointment overall. The 7 20 something were mean and rude. The travel style is not for everyone. Camping was better than I expected.

  • This trip was a transformational one for me, and one of my best travel experiences that I would recommend to friends and family. The itinerary maximizes the time spent in Africa, and we saw the "big 5", "ugly 5" and even a serval cat! It was a unique experience that I will treasure moving forward. That said, I highlighted areas for improvement in this review that I feel strongly about. I've had wonderful experiences with G Adventures on the 2 trips that I have taken so far and would recommend to a friend or family member.
