Kenya: Maasai Mara & Safari

Hello and welcome to Nairobi! Meet your Contiki crew, grab your camera, and let’s hit the road for our very first game drive. Hop on! Today, you'll have the option to cruise through Nairobi National Park on overland trucks. Keep your eyes peeled for waterholes, cityscapes and wildlife. If you like, you'll also have time to visit the Sheldrick Elephant rehabilitation nursery, where you can watch baby elephants play and bathe in the water, and hear the fascinating story of their road to recovery too. Plus, we'll visit the neighbourhood of Kibera and check out the incredible work of the people at Mirror of Hope. Passing through the Great Rift Valley, we’ll get to our Maasai Mara stay. You're free to spend the evening chatting & bonding with your crew.

It's game drive time. After trucking around in search of Africa's elusive big cats, we'll settle down by a scenic spot for lunch. And then head back on the road for some more wildlife spotting. Oh, and if you're here at the right time of year, you’ll even have the chance to witness the Great Migration. In the evening, you'll have the chance to visit a Maasai village, meet members of the tribe and even learn their traditions.

Rise and shine, Kenyan explorers! You can opt in for another game drive in the Maasai wilderness this morning. Then, were off to Sagana... Time to settle down in our riverside base for the night. So, rest up and keep dreaming of all the adventure that awaits us tomorrow.

Love adrenaline-pumping activities? Boy, you're gonna love today. White water rafting. Rock climbing. Archery. Ziplining. There's no end to all the fun you can opt in for here. Best part? You've got an onsite restaurant (with a pool & bar) to fuel up as you go.

Bye bye Sagana, you’ve been epic. We’ll hit the road with a stop at a local restaurant for a buffet of delish regional dishes — the perfect refuel before the journey continues.Aaaand, we’ve made it to Amboseli. Time for a game drive, so keep your eyes peeled for incredible wildlife — including some of Africa’s last “tuskers” roaming these plains. And if luck’s on our side, you might even spot them with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background. Then it’s off to our chalets for the night.

We’ll head out for one final game drive, keeping watch for last wildlife sightings and soaking up those iconic Amboseli views. Then it’s back to Nairobi, where the trip officially comes to an end (sob). Say goodbye to the crew and head home with a camera roll full of safari moments.
