A classic journey on safari in Kenya.
On arrival, we meet with those not travelling on the group flight at our hotel in Nairobi. We drive north to the edge of the escarpment over the Rift Valley before descending into the valley and to Lake Naivasha, where we will enjoy a morning boat ride. We will continue for a further 1.5 hours to Lake Elementaita, where we will check into our lodge and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, there will be an optional ( at additional cost) guided nature walk available.Accommodation: Serville Elementaita or similar
Early start today for a 30 minute drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. We will enjoy a full day of game drives today, with a packed lunch from our lodge to maximise game viewing time. We hope to see many plains game including gazelle, impala and giraffe and we will also be on the look-out for predators as well as unique bird life. The national park (285 km sq) is world-renowned for its (dwindling) flamingo population made famous by Denys Finch Hatton's flight over it in the film 'Out of Africa'. Nakuru is also the best place in East Africa for White rhino, and it is not unusual to see at least a dozen in a day. Coupled with this, there is a healthy buffalo population, many other plains game and frequent leopard sightings.Accommodation: Serville Elementaita or similar
A long (approx 5hrs including comfort stops), beautiful and bumpy drive to the Mara. We will arrive in the Mara early afternoon, in time for lunch ( not included today, for your own account) and check in afterwards. This afternoon we will enjoy the first of several game drives in this remarkable game area, departing at 4 pm. Returning to the lodge for dinner, you can enjoy a relaxed evening in beautiful surroundings.During time off you can rest in your private tents, the lounge tent or watch game go by from the deck of your tent. If you fancy a lie-in one day or an optional nature walk, this can easily be arranged.The Masai Mara is one of the most famous ecosystems in the world. This vast grassland is teeming with life; plains game including wildebeest, gazelle, topi, zebra and buffalo abound in the rolling savannah, and never far away lay the predators; cheetah, lion and hyena. Between mid-August to late October one of the greatest spectacles on Earth takes place in the Masai Mara - the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra trampling their way across the long grass. Nothing is guaranteed on safari, but with the help of our brilliant guides you should see and learn a huge amount about the Masai Mara's resident wildlife during our game drives.As a climax, there is the also the option of taking a sunrise balloon ride over the African plains (subject to the weather conditions and availability).Accommodation: Enkorok Tented Camp or similarMeals included: Breakfast, Lunch (except Day 3), Dinner
After a final early morning game drive, we leave after breakfast heading back towards Nairobi. A picnic lunch will be taken en route. We spend our last night in Nairobi.Accommodation: Eka Hotel or similar
The trip ends today in Nairobi. Those on the group flights will be taken this morning to the airport for their flight back.

All breakfasts, 5 lunches and 5 dinners included.Meals are generally taken at
the lodge or camp but we may take pack lunches with us depending on the
planned activities and game drives on a particular day.Breakfasts are
generally made up of a selection of fruit, cereal, yogurt, bread as well,
potentially, as some cooked elements.Lunches and dinners will normally have a
variety of European and local dishes.There is also tea served before the late
afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara.Vegetarians are well catered for but
please inform us before departure of any special dietary
requests.WaterPurified water is provided by the guide throughout your trip in
10litre drums carried on top of the vehicles, so you need only bring a

3 nights tented camp and 2 nights lodge and 1 night hotel.Travel by 4WD
safari vehicleSome long drives
A small group safari in 4WD Toyota Landcruisers with two long drives. Most of
the roads are reasonably good, other than the access road from Narok to the
Masai Mara (2hrs) and some roads within the national parks. Driving in the
reserves can be quite rough and is often on dirt roads. In wet weather
driving conditions do become more difficult and a little patience may be
required at times.As well as some very exciting game drives, there is the
opportunity for a short nature walk in the Masai Mara. For both animal and
bird lovers there are many chances of seeing countless game and birds as well
as rare and endangered creatures.The beginning of the year (Jan- March)
brings warmer weather and fewer tourists to the area. From March-April, the
rainy season starts offering opportunity for unique sightings like wildebeest
and other animals calving in anticipation of the rains.
Lodge, Tented Camp and HotelOur first two nights are spent near Lake Elementaita and our last night is
spent in Nairobi. The rest of the trip we typically stay at Enkorok Tented
Camp. Located in the Siana Conservancy, overlooking the Oloolotikoshi Hills,
the camp is situated on the banks of the Oloirigynyisho River where wildlife
can commonly be seen coming for a drink. We stay in permanent tents with
en-suite bathrooms in this classic African Safari camp. We sleep on proper
beds and there is electricity in the tents as well as hot water for the
showers.

Travelling flight inclusive from London: 8 daysThe group flight from London
is an overnight flight departing the day before Day 1 of the
itinerary.Flights from London We normally use the scheduled services of Kenya
Airways (depending on availability). As flight timings and schedules change
regularly we recommend you call one of our specialist sales staff or your
agent to confirm up‐to‐date timings. Please note timings may change at a
later date and cannot be confirmed until approximately two weeks before
departure.Travelling land only: 7 days starting and ending in NairobiClients
who have not booked the group flights should meet the group at the Eka Hotel
in Nairobi on day 1 (day 2 ex London).Please note that the start point of the
trip may be difficult to reach on your own and, due to the distance from the
airport, a private transfer would be expensive. Therefore, you will have to
make sure that you will be at Eka Hotel on time to be collected by the group
on their way to Lake Nakuru.You also need to advise Exodus in advance if you
are planning to do this. If you are making your own way, the start hotel at
Lake Nakuru is approximately 3.5 hours drive from Nairobi airport.The pick up
time will be advised on the joining information that will be sent to you
approximately 2‐3 weeks before departure.If you book pre‐ or post‐tour
accommodation in Nairobi it is possible to book a private transfer from and
to the airport. Please contact our sales team for further information and
prices.Also, please note that the end location of the land only tour in
Nairobi is the Eka Hotel. It may be possibly to join the group transfer to
the airport if you are on the same evening flights, if on an earlier flight
you will need a private transfer.
Airport transfers are included for those on the group flights. Please note
that transfers are not included for clients arriving on any other flight,
even if Exodus has booked it. If you require airport transfers, you may (by
prior arrangement only) be able to join the group transfer. Transfers are
arranged to coincide with the arrival time of the group flight ‐ please
check the group flight details 2 weeks before departure. If you do not take
this transfer, or miss it, you must make your own way to the joining point
at your own expense.
Kenya straddles the equator so showers can occur at any time of year, however
the wettest period is April and May (we have no departures then) Due to the
altitude of both Elementaita/Nakuru (1600m) and the Masai Mara (1550m) the
night time temperature is beautiful, cool yet not cold. Daytime temperatures
can get as high as 30degC but with low humidity. There can be light rains at
the end of the year, but if anything this is a good thing as it cuts down the
dust and brings out the colours. In the wet the roads can become difficult
and a little patience and pushing may be required! Please be aware that over
recent years weather patterns have changed and are now somewhat
unpredictable.

to protect luggage during rain)▪ Dry cleaning bags (commonly wrapped around

that you take most of your money in either Sterling or US dollars. It is best
