Tour Overview

Kenya is synonymous with the classic African safari. With endless grasslands sprinkled with acacia trees, this is Out of Africa and Born Free country. Whether it’s exploring Lake Nakuru National Park, an excellent small park in the Great Rift Valley, or the emblematic Masai Mara, wildlife is abundant year-round. During the migration season, the Mara (as it is affectionately known) is also home to one of the greatest natural spectacles on the planet: millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing a crocodile-filled river on their journey through the savannah.

Highlights

  • Stay at four-star accommodation throughout

  • See the prolific wildlife of the Masai Mara, including lions, elephants, hippos and giraffes

  • Discover Lake Nakuru, home to black and white rhinos

  • Enjoy game drives, short nature walks, and optional cultural village and walking excursions

Itinerary

What's Included

  • Meals
    3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners.

What's Not Included

  • Visas or vaccinations

  • Single accommodation (available on request)

  • Travel insurance

Food

All breakfasts, five lunches and five dinners are included.



Meals are generally taken at the lodge or camp but we may take pack lunches with us depending on the planned activities and game drives on a particular day.



Breakfasts are generally a selection of fruit, cereal, yogurt and bread, and, potentially, some cooked elements.



Lunches and dinners are normally a variety of European and local dishes.



There is also tea served before the late afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara.



Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests.



Water



Purified water is provided by the guide throughout your trip from large drums carried on top of the vehicles, so you need only bring a reusable water bottle. In the lodges, generally, one bottle of water is provided free of charge so we suggest you fill your water bottle before you leave the vehicles for the evening. Otherwise, you can purchase water at the lodge bar.

Accommodation

On this classic safari adventure in Kenya, we stay in a trio of four-star properties. Below are the places we typically use on this trip.



Lake Elementaita: Sentrim Elementaita Lodge (nights 1-2)







Our first two nights are spent by the vast Lake Elementaita with a stay at Sentrim Elementaita Lodge. It's well placed for our exploration of Lake Nakuru National Park, which is just a 30-minute drive away; when we're not on safari, enjoy views over Lake Elementaita from the year-round pool (or one of the loungers next to it) and discuss your day's adventure at the bar.



Masai Mara: Mara Kimana Camp (nights 3-5)







Our Masai Mara camp is on the banks of the Sekenani River, where wildlife regularly comes to drink. We stay in permanent tents with private bathrooms, each linked by walkways among ancient jackalberry trees. We sleep on proper beds and there is electricity in the tents plus hot water for showers.



Nairobi: Sarova Panafric (night 6)







Our last night is spent at the Sarova Panafric in Nairobi, just a five-minute drive from the CBD. Though it's close to the action there's plenty to keep you entertained here, including a temperature-controlled pool, next to which you'll find The Deck bar and lounge. There's also the Flame Tree Restaurant and Bar, which serves Pan-African, Continental and Pan-Asian dishes and has a hidden garden.

This was the first time I'd used Exodus and also my first time visiting Kenya and let me tell you, it was brilliant. I had an amazing time. I loved the week away from start to finish. The trip was well organised and having met such helpful, polite people along the way it ticked all my boxes. I met a lovely group of people who were also single travellers so that helped. The Food was excellent and I enjoyed trying new things. The rooms at both hotels were always clean and well maintained. You could not fault the staff. Every ask was not a problem. There is a bit of traveling and on some bad roads but apart from that, this is a trip I would return on again and again. Thank you Exodus and everyone I met!!

I thought this trip was stunning. It was more than simply going on a safari. As well as seeing the wildlife, you see a bit of Kenya, and meet some wonderful local people. This trip will stay with me as a special memory for the rest of my life.

We had been on several Exodus trips before in Africa and the Caribbean. We didn't have enough spare time for one of the longer trips so chose this one. We expected that the guides would be able to find animals in the parks and give advice, including on birds. They exceeded all expectations and more than once we located Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena, Jackal and Rhino. 194 bird species was exceptional, even though we didn't take a lot of time out specifically for birds. The two locations are brilliant in different ways. Lake Elementaita Lodge has a resident Spotted Eagle Owl. Ilkeliani has a resident Maasai wildlife expert, including copying bird calls!

A 7 day trip with lots of early starts, but that aside it was well worth it, scenery was amazing, and a lot of animals were seen, including cheetahs and a leopard. Considering it was my first safari I was really lucky in what was seen. The guides were great and really knew their stuff, and I also had the other vital ingrediant to a great holiday in that I was with some really fun people.

This holiday was excellent both in the accommodation choices, food provided, the safari itself and the particular mix of people we had within our group. One thing could I think be easily overcome - we were all advised to get the visa on arrival and on the plane that it would be £20 I think it was but when we arrived, it was not only more expensive but it took a long time to get, thus making people in our group wait a long time for some of us. The currency being ok to get on arrival although cheaper, incurred delays also making of us feel rather bad right at the start of the trip!More positives outweigh the negatives though!
