8 DAY EXPLORER SAFARI – SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE, LAKES NAKURU & NAIVASHA, AND MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE

5 NATIONAL PARKS, “KENYA EXPLORER”, FROM NAIROBI TO NAIROBI (BY 4×4 LAND CRUISER JEEP)

From the north to the south of Kenya, you’ll get to explore vast stretches of our country, discovering her great parks, scenic wonders, and fabulous wildlife. This complete 8-day African safari is well-paced for adventure and fun, taking you from the rugged terrain of Samburu Park to the Great Rift Valley Lakes of Nakuru and Naivasha to the savannah of Masai Mara, streaming with wildlife. For over a week, you’ll enjoy the best of Africa.

North of Nairobi lies Samburu National Reserve, northern Kenya’s most popular park, where lions, leopards and hundreds of elephants ply the deep plains and life-sustaining Ewaso Ngiro River. We’ll pass snow-capped Mt. Kenya on our way to this park that is home to the unusual oryx, gerenuk, and Somali ostrich. The Samburu tribespeople also make their home in this ancient land.

Then we’ll turn and head south to the Rift Valley lakes of Nakuru and Naivasha. Lake Nakuru National Park is a most versatile reserve, home to exotic birds like flamingoes but also a great population of endangered rhinos. Nearby Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks are a safari treat where we’ll visit the birds and wildlife by jeep, boat, foot, and even bicycle! After our boat safari across the lake we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of Crescent Island Game Sanctuary and then take a bicycle ride to Hell’s Gate National Park to get up close to zebra, gazelle, antelope, zebra, and buffalo.

But for game viewing of an even higher order, our final destination, Masa Mara National Reserve is in a class by itself – world-class. This is Kenya’s most popular wildlife park, hosting an unusually large number of big cats. During the migrating season, you’ll see great trains of wildebeest and zebra stretching off to the horizon, a never to be forgotten sight

From top to bottom we’ll explore Kenya’s most exciting parks for more than a week. Let us know about any special requests you may have for your safari adventure and Flexivel Kenya Safaris will work hard to make them happen.
