7-Day Kenya Grand Wildlife Circuit

Drive north from Nairobi through the Mount Kenya foothills. Cross the equator and enter Ol Pejeta Conservancy for an afternoon game drive. The conservancy's savanna and Ewaso Ng'iro riverine zone support large elephant herds, buffalo and the famous lion coalition.

Morning chimpanzee sanctuary visit, followed by a dedicated rhino tracking drive. Afternoon game drive through the conservancy. Optional evening visit to Sudan's memorial — the last male northern white rhino.

Drive south across the equator to Lake Nakuru National Park. Afternoon drive along the lake shore. The park's lions are among the most habituated in Kenya — often found sleeping in open clearings close to the road.

Morning drive to Lake Naivasha. Hell's Gate cycling safari — the only Kenyan park where you can ride bikes freely alongside zebras, warthogs and giraffes. After the cycle, descend through Ol Njorowa Gorge on foot. Afternoon private boat safari on Lake Naivasha.

Drive southwest from Naivasha through the Maasai pasturelands, entering the Mara via the Sekenani Gate. Immediate afternoon game drive. The Mara consistently delivers lion sightings within the first drive.

Sunrise drive at 06:00 AM. Full day dedicated to the Mara's extraordinary predator-prey dynamic. Cheetah hunts on the open plains, lion kills in the grassland, leopards draped over acacia branches. Midday bush picnic at the Mara River.

Last sunrise game drive before breakfast. Return drive to Nairobi with a scenic Rift Valley escarpment stop. Arrive Nairobi 4:00–5:30 PM.
