Click on individual days for details

You have the option to book your flights separately or contact us quickly and easily via WhatsApp for a personal flight quote. If you book your flight separately, please plan your arrival so that you will arrive at the airport by afternoon to start our Kenya adventure together in the evening.

 

When you arrive at the airport, you will be met and then taken to our first accommodation in Waithaka. There you can settle in, rest and later take part in an orientation session where we will introduce you to Kenya, our ethics, the guest house and the country rules. At our first dinner together, we will get to know each other and look forward to the next few days.

Dinner

Airport transfer (approx. 25 km/35 min.)

 Marafiki Community International Guest House

Your highlight today: Visit giraffes and baby elephants

The adventure really begins today. Early in the morning we set off for Nairobi National Park. Our aim is to be in the park by 6 a.m. so that we can watch the animals drinking at the waterhole.
We then leave the park and drive to an elephant orphanage, where we have the opportunity to get very close to the baby elephants. After lunch, we continue to a giraffe center. There we have the opportunity to stroke the giraffes, feed them by hand and, for the very brave, even kiss them.
Later, we make a stop at the shopping center for some groceries and are then taken back to the guesthouse.

Breakfast, dinner

 private transfer (approx. 10 km/10 min.)

Marafiki Community International Guest House

Your highlight today: Be on the lookout for the Big Five

Today begins another exciting day that takes us to one of Kenya's most fascinating wildlife destinations - Amboseli National Park. It's time to get up early to make the most of this adventure. We set off as the sun rises and make our way to Amboseli.

After our arrival in Amboseli National Park, we head straight out on safari. This park is known for its impressive herds of elephants, which roam majestically across the vast plains. On a clear day, we can also see the impressive Kilimajaro massif from here.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

private transfer (approx. 250 km/5,5 hours)

AA Lodge Amboseli

Your highlight today: Discover hippos at Lake Naivasha

Once again, it's "the early bird catches the worm". Before breakfast, we set off on another game drive, as the chances of seeing lots of animals in the early hours of the morning are particularly good. We are back at our accommodation in time for breakfast. We then continue to Lake Naivasha, which is known for the large number of hippos, flamingos and pelicans that live there. We will have plenty of time to marvel at them on a boat tour.
We then continue to Crescent Island for an island tour. The peninsula in Lake Naivasha is home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffe, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, waterbuck and various bird species. An island tour offers the opportunity to observe these animals at close range. From here we also have a breathtaking view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Game drive, boat tour

Dovenest Lodge

Your highlight today:  A different kind of safari - explore Hells's Gate National Park by bike

Today we have the rare opportunity to see animals outside of a safari vehicle, namely on a bicycle. Here we will get to see giraffes, antelopes and buffalo, among others. We explore the vastness of Hell's Gate National Park on our two-wheelers and cycle to one of the impressive gorges that can be found here. Once there, we go on a guided hike through the fascinating gorges. Our route also takes us to the natural thermal springs in the park. Here we can swim and relax so that we can start our next adventure fresh.

In the afternoon we set off for our next destination: the Maasai Mara.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Private transfer, bike, hike (1-2 hours)

Anyoraa Camp Maasai Mara

Your highlight today: Search for the Big Five in the Maasai Mara Reserve

The Maasai Mara Reserve is one of the most famous in the world - and rightly so. Because hardly any other safari area is as breathtaking as this one. There are rolling hills and grassy pastures as far as the eye can see.

The incredible density of wildlife in the Maasai Mara is simply overwhelming. We have the whole day to enjoy this breathtaking sight and discover the diversity of wildlife. Our aim is to track down the "Big Five" - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino - as well as the "Super Seven" - lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, black rhino and hippo.

As we drive through the endless expanses of the reserve, we keep an eye out for the majestic animals that call this region home. We watch in fascination as lions hunt their prey, elephants wander leisurely through the savannah and giraffes gallop elegantly over the hills. Every moment offers a new opportunity to experience the beauty and wildness of nature.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

all-day game drive

Anyoraa Camp Maasai Mara

Your highlight today: Get to know life in a Maasai village

As we all know, you can't get enough of Africa's wildlife. So today we take the opportunity to drive deep into the Maasai Reserve again. We have the first half of the day there for our game drive. If we didn't manage to see the "Big Five" and "Super Seven" yesterday, today we have another chance to look Africa's animals in the eye.
After lunch, we are picked up by a Maasai who takes us to his village. Here we get an insight into daily life and get to know the Maasai culture better.

 Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Game Drive

Anyoraa Camp Maasai Mara

Your highlight today: Help with a water project in the Maasai Reserve

After breakfast we will have an orientation phase in which we will talk about the work and projects of the organization in the Maasai Mara.

This is mainly about the water project that we will be helping with for the next two days. We will start work immediately afterwards. After lunch, we will continue to work on the water project and/or carry out a tailor-made program that allows for available time, including some tree planting activities.

 Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Anyoraa Camp Maasai Mara

Your highlight today: Build water towers in the Maasai Mara

Today we continue our work on the water project. We set off after breakfast and will initially work intensively for a few hours. After a productive morning session, we will take a well-deserved lunch break to recharge our batteries. We then resume work and have the opportunity to get involved in other activities that promote the well-being of the community, such as environmental protection measures or educational initiatives

 Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Anyoraa Camp Maasai Mara

Your highlights today: Marvel at the sunrise over the hills of the Maasai Mara National Park

Even though our journey unfortunately ends today, we still have a few adventures to experience in the morning. We get up early one last time and a Maasai will take us on a short hike to watch the sunrise over the hills of the Maasai Mara National Park. An experience we will not soon forget.
After breakfast, we will also plant some trees before making our way back to Nairobi.

After an eventful trip, it's now time to say goodbye to your new friends. We will organize the subsequent transfer to the airport for you.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Private transfer: approx. 230km and 4 hours

If you book your flights separately, you can flexibly plan your return flight on the day of departure.

We'd love to have you back for the next adventure!

What makes our trips

Important information

Do you offer trip cancellation insurance?

Should you not be able to fly for health reasons, there is a Travel cancellation insurancee.g. from HanseMerkur.

Can I arrive earlier or leave later?

You can individually plan a few days in advance or add a few days to all our trips, as it suits you best. Of course, we are also happy to give you tips for accommodation!

With whom do I share a double room?

By default, you will share a double room with a person of the same sex, but you are also welcome to book a single room.

What does your collaboration with local partners look like in concrete terms?

For us, supporting locals means working only with local guides, staying in local, family-run hotels, and eating at local restaurants. We often have a social/environmental cause that we incorporate into our trips (from volunteering at a wildlife rescue center in Namibia to the support of Buddhist monks in Nepal in their daily work or visiting a school in a Soviet ghost town in Kyrgyzstan and bringing soccer balls, books, pens, etc.).

You have the possibility to book your Kenya round trip both with and without included flight. If necessary, you can easily request your flights for the round trip via WhatsApp and we will send you a personal offer. All our selected flights are operated by renowned airlines. For a flight from/to Germany you can also book our "train to flight" offer.

German citizens need a visa for entry. This can be applied for here.

In addition to the standard vaccinations according to the RKI, travel vaccinations against hepatitis A, poliomyelitis and yellow fever, and for long-term stays or special exposure also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) are recommended. Malaria is transmitted by crepuscular and nocturnal Anopheles mosquitoes. There is a high risk of malaria throughout the country below 2,500 m altitude. Plasmodium falciparum (causative agent of malaria tropica) is detected in approximately 99 % of cases. In Nairobi there are only very rare isolated cases. To avoid malaria, protect yourself consistently from insect bites as part of exposure prophylaxis. Depending on the travel profile, in addition to the necessary exposure prophylaxis, chemoprophylaxis (taking tablets) is also advisable. Various prescription drugs (e.g. atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, mefloquine) are available on the German market for this purpose. Discuss the choice of medication and its personal adaptation as well as side effects or incompatibilities with other medications with a tropical medicine doctor or travel physician before taking it. It is recommended to take a sufficient supply with you.

Please note that the itinerary, activities and hotels may be subject to change. These changes may occur without notice due to availability, inclement weather, seasonal changes or other circumstances beyond our control. We will always do our best to ensure that this has little or no impact on your experience.
