| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Nairobi | Welcome to busy Nairobi. |
| Day 2 | Lake Naivasha | A short stop at a rural school is a chance to get to know some local kids. At Lake Naivasha, there's plenty of time to take in the beauty of the lake, admire its abundant birdlife and maybe even see some hippos. |
| Day 3 | Lake Nakuru | From the shores of Lake Nakuru, look upon one of the most iconic images of Africa - thousands of pink flamingos frolicking in the water. Sightings of leopards, baboons and giraffes are likely on game drives through the park. |
| Days 4-5 | Lake Bogoria/Kerio Valley | Pass spouting geysers and bubbling geothermal pools travelling through the Lake Bogoria National Reserve. Listen out for the distinctive call of African fish-eagles before continuing on to the scenic farmlands of Kerio Valley. |
| Days 6-7 | Kakamega Forest Reserve | Once part of the rainforest belt spanning the girth of Africa, this relatively small patch is all that remains. Be guided beneath the canopy of age-old trees and feast your senses on the exotic sights and sounds of this incredible eco-system. |
| Days 8-9 | Kendu Bay Village | Stay among the friendly Luo tribe on a local homestay. Learn their traditional ways: crafting huts, ploughing fields with oxen and grinding meal with stone. |
| Days 10-12 | Masai Mara | Venture into the swaying grasses of the famous Masai Mara at dawn and dusk, when shadows turn the savannah into prime hunting ground for Africa's big cats. A walk with the crimson-clad Masai warriors gives wonderful insight into their cultural traditions. |
| Day 13 | Nairobi | Savour breathtaking vistas over the Great Rift Valley en route to Nairobi. |
