10 Days - Kenya Wildlife Safari and Victoria Falls

You leave Nairobi by safari vehicle and head south through the Rift Valley, with a picnic lunch on the way. You pass Narok and climb the escarpment, then enter the Mara. You arrive at your camp or lodge in the late afternoon. A game drive is included either on the way or after arrival, and dinner is served at the camp or lodge.

You take an early morning and a late afternoon game drive in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, searching for the Big Five. The Big Five are commonly seen here, though rhinos are rare and sightings can’t be guaranteed. All meals are served at the camp or lodge by the chef.

You spend a second full day in the Mara, with morning and afternoon game drives. You see the wildlife going about its daily life, and you enjoy the atmosphere of this famous reserve.

You take a pre-breakfast game drive, then return to camp for breakfast and depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, with a picnic lunch on the way. The lake is often called the “Pink Lake” because of its flamingos, and the park is also home to rhinos, waterbuck, impala, buffaloes and gazelles. You have dinner and an overnight stay at a simple hotel with hot showers or at Lake Nakuru Lodge.

In the morning you take a game drive at Lake Nakuru, then travel to Lake Baringo after lunch. Lake Baringo is a freshwater lake with more than 470 bird species, and hippos and crocodiles live in the area. Boat trips on the lake are available at an extra charge. You have dinner and an overnight stay at a camp in mobile two-person tents or at Lake Baringo Lodge.

You explore Lake Bogoria National Reserve on foot, with flamingos in their thousands and, at times, far more. Please take care when walking near the hot springs and follow your guide. In the afternoon you depart for Nairobi and arrive late in the evening, where you stay overnight in a Nairobi hotel.

After breakfast you transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi for your flight to Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe (the flight is not included). You are met and transferred about 23 km to your lodge, which takes around 30 minutes. At about 4:20 pm you set out on the Zambezi River for a dinner cruise, keeping an eye out for hippos, elephants, crocodiles and birdlife. Drinks are not included.

At 9:00 am, after breakfast, you explore Victoria Falls up close and on foot, feeling the spray and walking the path close to the falls. The falls are 108 metres high and about 1,708 metres wide, and they have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989. At 12:00 pm you have lunch at the Victoria Falls Hotel. In the late afternoon, at about 3:20 pm, you have an elephant encounter. You spend the night at your lodge.

At 6:30 am you take an early morning game drive in Zambezi National Park, which covers about 560 square kilometres and has elephants, lions, buffaloes and leopards, with more than 400 bird species. You spend the night at your Victoria Falls lodge.

After breakfast at your lodge you check out and transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for your flight to Nairobi. The flight is not included in the rate.
