Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Arrive Nairobi

Receive a warm karibu (welcome) to Kenya, as you touch down at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Arrive at your hotel, then the rest of today is all about going pole-pole (slow). Sleep off the jet lag and ease into holiday mode before meeting up with your Costsaver Driver Guide and fellow travelers for a briefing and traditional (and tasty) dinner.

Day 2: Nairobi Free Day

Today is all about taking in the delights of Nairobi your way, with two optional experiences to enjoy during the day. Culture vultures will want to join the Nairobi City Tour to see must-visit sights including City Market, Parliament Buildings and the National Museum ...

Day 3: Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Swapping concrete jungles for iconic views of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro and the home of the legendary Maasai, today you'll travel to Amboseli National Park. Settle in to your accommodation nestled among Amboseli's vast plains before heading out on a safari adventure la...

Day 8: Maasai Mara - Depart Nairobi

The words of ‘Out of Africa’ author Karen Blixen will feel especially poignant as you say a final farewell to the Maasai Mara this morning. “If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari again”. Well, never say never, we say! Returning to Nairob...
