Overview
“One of the best weeks of my life. The trip was unbelievable, we saw so many animals and had some incredible experiences like feeding giraffes, flying in a hot air balloon over the Maasai Mara and being welcomed into a Maasai Village. The Trip Leader Jabir Olomi (JB) was on of the nicest guys I have ever met. Him and the other drivers made our week amazing, answering every question we could think of. I have made some lifelong friends for sure with the amazing group of people I met on the tour!” – Jacob December 2019
From the famous Masai Mara, the setting for the Great Migration, the foreground to Mt Kilimanjaro and the inspiration for the epic film Out of Africa, Kenya has places that will imprint on your memory and heart forever. This trip sees you riding in an open-top vehicle through National Parks and vast plains by day, and sleeping in safari-style lodges at night. Not only will you have a chance to see big game in the parks, you’ll get up close to giraffes and elephants for the ultimate African encounter.
All accommodation is included on this trip – 1 night Hotel, 4 nights Safari Tent, 1 night African Lodge
We’ll stay in a comfy hotel in Nairobi on our first night, then the rest of the time we’re having the full safari experience in African lodges and campsites. This is doing Africa in style in twin share raised canvas tents with full bathrooms, patios and all the amentites you would expect of a hotel room. Does it get any better sleeping under the African stars.
Places visited: Nairobi, Masai Mara, Lake Elementaita, Amboseli

Nairobi
Your Africa adventure begins as the plane touches down in red-earthed Nairobi. You’ll be greeted by a transfer rep at the airport and driven to your accommodation for the night through the modern city centre in private transportation. Set your bags down at the hotel and feel the excitement build as your Trip Manager runs through the itinerary. This evening you’ll have a chance to head out for some dinner at a local restaurant, a perfect time to practise your ‘Jambo’ (hello) and ‘Asante-sana’ (Thank you very much). Get to know your new mates over a hearty Kenyan meal before a big day tomorrow.
Nairobi
We start the day with a hot breakfast at the hotel before meeting our local guides and loading up in the safari vehicles for the start of our great Masai Mara adventure.
Masai Mara
We’ll pass down and through the Great Rift Valley as we arrive at our classic African safari lodge, just in time for lunch in the famous Masai Mara. After lunch, you’ll have time for a quick siesta or a dip in the pool. This afternoon will include your first game drive, seeing some of Africa’s vast array of wildlife both big and small on the rolling hills of this magnificent nature reserve.
Masai Mara
This morning you have the option for a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon Safari experience, or join the early morning game drive – one of the best times to see the wild animals as they relax in the cooler climate before the midday heat. In the late morning we’ll all head back to the lodge for some lunch and lounging around the pool, before departing on an evening game drive in search of Africa’s elusive big cats: the lion, leopard and cheetah. This reserve is the scene of one of nature’s most incredible and humbling events: the Great Migration. During the right season, watch with your jaw open as millions of wildebeest and zebra risk their lives crossing crocodile-infested waters with lions lurking on the banks as they bravely press forward to greener pastures.
Masai Mara
We’ll treat ourselves to one last morning drive in the unforgettable Masai Mara before we head north. Make sure your camera is ready for your last glance of this extraordinary location.
Lake Elementaita
This afternoon we’re passing through Lake Naivasha, where some scenes from the epic 1985 film Out of Africa were shot. We end up on the shores of Lake Elementaita for the evening. There’ll be time for a rest and revive before we sit down together for a buffet dinner.
Amboseli
After our morning’s buffet breakfast, we will do a short safari walk to a Masai village, guided by Masaai warriors as they teach us about their culture and everyday lives co-existing with wild animals. After lunch we will head out to Amboseli National Park, famous for its iconic shots of elephants and wildlife feeding in the foreground while the peak of Africa rises in the background: Mt Kilimanjaro. It’s a photographer’s dream, and it’s all yours. Our final dinner in Kenya will be included back at the lodge.
Amboseli
Our last day of this incredible trip will send us off with a bang, including one last morning drive through the Amboseli, and then back up to Nairobi.
Nairobi
With full hearts and memories, here is where we’ll say fond farewells to our Africa adventure and our new Contiki family.
