Your seven-day private safari begins with collection from your Nairobi hotel, residence or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport according to your confirmed arrangements.

Meet your professional safari driver-guide and depart Nairobi in your exclusive 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser, travelling north through Kenya's central highlands.

The journey reveals a changing landscape as the greener agricultural highlands gradually give way to the drier and more dramatic scenery of northern Kenya.

Arrive in the Samburu ecosystem and proceed to your selected lodge or tented camp for check-in and lunch according to your arrival schedule.

Later, depart on your first game drive. Explore the semi-arid landscape and the wildlife-rich areas associated with the Ewaso Nyiro River.

Begin searching for elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes and antelopes alongside northern species that make Samburu distinctly different from Kenya's southern reserves.

Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and your first overnight in Samburu.

Spend a complete day exploring the Samburu ecosystem with your private driver-guide.

The Ewaso Nyiro River is a vital source of water in this dry region and attracts wildlife to its riverine vegetation, making it an important focus for game viewing.

Search for the northern wildlife species commonly known as the Samburu Special Five: Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, gerenuk and Somali ostrich.

Elephants are frequently associated with the Samburu landscape, while predators can include lions, leopards and cheetahs.

Your private safari format allows the day's game-viewing programme to respond to wildlife activity rather than following a rigid shared-vehicle schedule.

Depending on your confirmed programme, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with a break at the lodge or spend an extended period exploring the reserve.

Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and your second overnight in Samburu.

Enjoy breakfast before departing Samburu and beginning the journey south toward Kenya's Great Rift Valley.

Travel through changing landscapes as you leave the semi-arid northern region and return through the central highlands toward Lake Nakuru.

Arrive in the Lake Nakuru region and, according to your confirmed schedule, enter the national park for game viewing.

Lake Nakuru National Park is particularly important for rhino conservation and supports both black and white rhinos.

Other wildlife can include buffalo, Rothschild's giraffes, zebras, waterbuck, baboons and various antelope species.

The lake and surrounding habitats also support extensive birdlife. Flamingos may be present, although their numbers vary naturally according to ecological conditions.

Proceed to your selected accommodation for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart the Lake Nakuru region and travel through the Great Rift Valley toward Maasai Mara.

The scenery gradually changes into the rolling grasslands and open country associated with the greater Mara ecosystem.

Arrive at your selected Maasai Mara lodge or tented camp for check-in and lunch according to your confirmed schedule.

Later, begin your first Mara game drive, searching for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras and antelopes.

The reserve is particularly celebrated for its predators, including lions, cheetahs and leopards.

Return to your accommodation for dinner and your first overnight in Maasai Mara.

After breakfast, devote the day to exploring Maasai Mara with your private professional driver-guide.

With no long-distance transfer today, you can spend more time following wildlife movements and exploring different habitats throughout the reserve.

Search for lions, leopards and cheetahs alongside elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hyenas, wildebeest, zebras, warthogs and numerous antelope species.

During the seasonal Great Migration, large concentrations of wildebeest and zebras may move through the greater Mara ecosystem.

Their exact movements depend on rainfall, grazing and other natural conditions. Mara River crossings remain spontaneous events and cannot be scheduled or guaranteed.

Depending on your programme, enjoy a picnic lunch inside the reserve or return to your lodge before continuing with afternoon game viewing.

Return for dinner and your second overnight in Maasai Mara.

A third night in Maasai Mara gives you another complete day to explore this extraordinary wildlife ecosystem without the pressure of travelling to another destination.

You may begin with an early-morning game drive when temperatures are cooler and predators may still be active.

Your driver-guide can concentrate on areas that produced interesting sightings during the previous day or explore completely different sections of the reserve.

Depending on wildlife movements and local conditions, the day's exploration may include the Mara River region, open grasslands, riverine forests and other productive habitats.

An optional hot-air balloon safari can be arranged in advance at additional cost and subject to availability. The balloon experience normally begins before sunrise and is followed by breakfast in the bush.

An optional Maasai cultural visit can also be incorporated according to your interests and confirmed arrangements.

Spend the afternoon enjoying your final extended Mara game viewing before returning to your lodge or camp.

Dinner and third overnight in Maasai Mara.

Enjoy breakfast during your final morning in Maasai Mara.

Depending on your confirmed departure schedule, there may be an opportunity for final wildlife viewing before leaving the reserve and beginning your journey back to Nairobi.

Travel through Maasai country and the Great Rift Valley, reflecting on a safari that has taken you from northern Kenya's dry wilderness to rhino country and finally the expansive plains of Maasai Mara.

Upon arrival in Nairobi, your professional driver-guide will transfer you to your confirmed hotel, residence or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Your seven-day private Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara safari concludes in Nairobi.
