What you can expect from the 8 day Taste of Kenya
Day 1: Nairobi
On arrival you’ll be personally met and taken to the city’s finest hotel, the Norfolk. For those arriving earlier, a variety of local sightseeing attractions can be pre-booked.
Days 2 & 3: Samburu National Park
A dramatic morning flight from Nairobi skirts the glaciers of Mount Kenya and then plunges to land on Kenya’s near desert Northern Frontier. The great Ewaso Nyiro River cuts through the desert in Samburu National Park, and the surrounding veld blooms, attracting large amounts of game. Expect to see some rarer animals like the world’s most beautiful giraffe, the reticulated, and the Gravy’s zebra. Outstanding bird life. Meals and accommodation at Serena Lodge.
Day 4: Mount Kenya
Leave the lowland veldt and drive up Mount Kenya, past colorful traditional villages. Arrive the private Sweetwater’s Tented Camp for lunch and afternoon game viewing, including a visit to the Jane Goodell chimp sanctuary. This evening you can book an optional night time game drive.

Day 5: Lake Nakuru – Kericho
Leave the highlands for a beautiful morning drive that crosses the Equatorial Line and arrives Lake Nakuru National Park for a mid-day game drive. The park is famous for its tens of thousands of flamingoes, rhino and Rothschild giraffe. In the afternoon, continue through the spectacular Kenyan tea highlands to the Kericho Tea Hotel for dinner and overnight.
Days 6 & 7: Maasai Mara
The drive into Kenya’s best park, the Maasai Mara, is truly spectacular. Arrive the exciting permanent tented camp, the Mara Safari Club, for lunch then start 2 days of intense game viewing. The Mara has all the big game in abundance, including the Black-Maned Lion, Cheetah and Leopard, and plains full of Gazelle and antelope. There will be time to see a Maasai village and even book an optional game walk.
Day 8: Nairobi – Depart
A quick flight brings you back to the Norfolk Hotel by noon. Your room is available until the evening transfers to the airport for the late night departures home.
