Samburu-Nakuru-Masai Mara Trip

Safari summary

This 9-day safari with Jossec Safaris brings you right into the heart of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes and wildlife. Starting from Nairobi, you'll journey north to the rugged beauty of Samburu National Reserve, home to unique wildlife like Grevy’s zebra, the gerenuk, and the Somali ostrich. Here, you’ll experience the quiet majesty of the arid landscape, where elephants, lions, and leopards roam along the Ewaso Ng'iro River.

Afterward, we’ll head to Lake Nakuru, a haven for both bird lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Known for its vibrant flamingo population and one of the best places in Kenya to spot rhinos, Lake Nakuru is a scenic highlight. From here, we’ll venture to Lake Naivasha, where you can opt for a boat ride to get close to hippos and enjoy incredible birdwatching around the lake.

Finally, our journey ends with the grand plains of the Maasai Mara, famous for the annual wildebeest migration and an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five. Imagine sunrise game drives, breathtaking landscapes, and the thrill of spotting lions, cheetahs, and elephants in their natural habitat. For an extra thrill, you can take a hot air balloon ride over the Mara at dawn.

Throughout the trip, you’ll travel in a comfortable 4x4 safari jeep with an experienced Jossec Safaris guide by your side. Each day will bring new adventures, new wildlife sightings, and unforgettable memories in Kenya’s stunning wilderness.
