Day 2: Transfer to Samburu National Park
After breakfast, your Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday will begin in the early hours of the morning.

Day 2: Samburu Savanna Game Drives
After breakfast, you can depart on the second day of your Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Vacation for a full day of African savanna game drives in the reserve. The morning is the most common time for savanna game viewing because the temperatures are mild, creating a pleasant environment for both you and the wildlife such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards roaming the vast grasslands in search of their first day’s meal. The natural spectacle that unfolds here is always breathtaking!

Day 3: Samburu to Lake Nakuru
After breakfast, before transferring to your next Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday destination, you’ll go on an early morning safari game drive to see what you missed in Samburu the day before and to replenish your photographic bank.
After that, you’ll head south to the equator, with a stopover along the way. Locals will conduct a water demonstration to certify the equator’s location. From here, you’ll take a picture stop at Thomson Falls before heading down into the Great Rift Valley.
As you climb the valley’s eastern wall, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of lush coffee and tea plantations. You’ll stay the night in Lake Nakuru National Park.
Day 4: Transfer to Masai Mara National Reserve
After an early breakfast, your next stop on your Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday will be Masai Mara National Reserve via Narok town.
The Masai tribe, proud young warrior-nomads with plaited hair, red cloaks, and axes, live in the Mara and will pique your interest. You’ll check into your safari camp, take a refreshing shower, and then head out for an evening African savanna game drive in Masai Mara’s savanna plains after lunch.
Day 5: Masai Mara and Hot Air Balloon Safari
Today is your chance to go on a hot air balloon ride. You’ll fly in early in the morning when the winds are at their calmest and spend the whole day on a game drive in the reserve.
If you want to see Big Cats, the Masai Mara National Reserve is a great place to go. The Mara has been dubbed the “Kingdom of Lions,” and these ferocious hunters rule these grasslands. Cheetahs, hyenas, and smaller predators such as jackals are also common in the Mara. You’ll have a great chance of spotting them if you go on scheduled savanna safari game drives through the Mara plains.
