| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Nairobi | Get a feel for urban African life in Nairobi. |
| Days 2-3 | Samburu | The bright traditional dresses of the Samburu tribespeople are highly visible on a drive across the foothills of Mt Kenya. There is an opportunity to learn more about these and other nomadic communities on a village tour. Within the Samburu National Reserve, look out for endangered Grevy's zebras and crocs submerged in the muddy waters of the Ewaso Nyiro River that meanders through the otherwise-parched landscape. |
| Day 4 | Lake Nakuru | Witness one of the world's greatest spectacles: thousands of pink flamingos and other water birds feeding in the shallow waters of Lake Nakuru. An afternoon game drive provides a look at the park's four-legged attractions, including white-stockinged Rothschild's giraffes. |
| Day 5 | Lake Naivasha | Spend the morning watching hippos and buffaloes wallow in lakeside swamps and listen out for the chatter of black and white colobus monkeys in the treetops. A free afternoon can be spent cruising on the lake, spotting the many bird species that live here. |
| Days 6-7 | Masai Mara | A mid-afternoon visit to one of the finest game reserves in Kenya offers the chance to see one of Africa's big cats and the magnificent animals that make up a major part of the savannah food chain. With everything from elephants and wildebeest to jackals and hyenas, the variety of wildlife in the famed Masai Mara is breathtaking. It's possible to take an early morning balloon ride to watch the wild park come to life at sunrise. |
| Day 8 | Nairobi | Return to the safari capital of the world, Nairobi. |
