Itinerary Day-by-Day
Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi → Lake Naivasha (Luxury Welcome to the Rift Valley)
Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where a friendly Top Cream Safaris representative will greet you for a private transfer to the scenic Great Rift Valley. Enjoy the changing landscapes as you drive to your luxurious Lake Naivasha lodge, surrounded by acacia trees and shimmering waters. After check-in, relax with a refreshing drink before an afternoon boat ride across the lake, famous for its hippos, birdlife, and tranquil beauty.
Spend your evening enjoying fine dining at your lodge, with the sounds of nature setting the tone for your first night on safari.
Day 2: Lake Naivasha → Lake Nakuru National Park (Flamingos & Scenic Drives)
Wake up to birdsong before breakfast overlooking Lake Naivasha. Take a gentle nature walk to spot giraffes, zebras, and waterbucks grazing nearby. Afterward, depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, a UNESCO-protected sanctuary renowned for its pink-hued flamingo colonies and abundant wildlife. Arrive at your elegant lodge near the lakeshore in time for lunch. Later in the afternoon, embark on a game drive through acacia woodlands and open grasslands, where you might encounter white rhinos, leopards, and buffalos. Capture breathtaking photographs as the sun sets over the Rift Valley escarpment. Return to your lodge for a gourmet dinner and overnight stay, surrounded by the calm of the wilderness.
Day 3: Lake Nakuru → Maasai Mara (Journey to Kenya’s Iconic Wilderness)
After an early breakfast and a sunrise game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, continue your adventure toward the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s most celebrated safari destination. The journey offers sweeping savannah views and glimpses of rural life. Upon arrival, check into your luxury safari lodge or tented camp set within the Mara’s pristine landscape. After lunch, embark on your first evening game drive, where lions, elephants, and cheetahs roam freely across the plains. As the sun dips below the horizon, enjoy a Mara sundowner — an unforgettable African tradition. Dinner awaits at your lodge, served under the stars beside a crackling bonfire, marking another magical day on safari.
Day 4: Full Day in the Maasai Mara (Big Five Experience & Balloon Option)
Today is devoted to exploring the wonders of the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s richest wildlife regions. Set out on morning and afternoon game drives, tracking the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — along with countless other species. For an extraordinary experience, you may opt for a hot-air balloon safari at dawn, floating silently over the savannah as wildlife stirs below — followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Lunch will be served picnic-style or back at your camp, with time to relax at the pool or spa. In the evening, you may enjoy a private bush dinner or cultural interaction with the local Maasai community, celebrating Kenya’s authentic charm and hospitality all this at an extra cost.
Day 5: Maasai Mara → Nairobi (Farewell Lunch at Carnivore Restaurant)
After breakfast, bid farewell to your lodge and journey back to Nairobi. Upon arrival, enjoy a sumptuous farewell lunch at the iconic Carnivore Restaurant, famous for its vibrant atmosphere and exotic grilled meats — a true Kenyan culinary highlight. Share stories, exchange contacts, and reflect on the unforgettable memories made during your 5-day luxury safari. Later, transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward flight or next destination.
Your journey with Top Cream Safaris concludes here — but the memories of Kenya’s wildlife, warmth, and beauty will stay with you forever.
