Tour itinerary

Day 1-2

Nairobi national park, Riding boats on Naivasha lake

We arrive in Nairobi and check into a hotel. Our group trip to Kenya begins here. Here you do not need to get far from the capital to see animals in the wild! We go to the Nairobi National Park, home to the most unusual spectacle - giraffes, herds of zebras, elephants, rhinos - against the backdrop of skyscrapers of a huge metropolis. Yes, the city is very close, but animals do not seem to mind.

We observe the most popular inhabitants of the African continent close by, and then return to Nairobi for dinner in the famous Carnivore restaurant. Open since 1980 it is known for its delicious barbecue from different kinds of meat.

In the morning we go to the lake Naivasha (2.5 hours on the way). This is a large freshwater lake near a huge Longonot volcano. We will ride boats on the lake, watching hippos and exotic birds and admiring the views of the Great Rift Valley. We will also walk on the islands to see wildebeest, zebras and giraffes. In the evening we check into a hotel near the lake.

Day 3-4

озеро Туркана, парк Сентрал Айленд

Early in the morning we begin our walk to the Longonot volcano (about 1 hour walk). We reach the crater and find that it is green inside! Just hundreds years ago, red lava was burning here. It now turned to the emerald green forest full of zebras, giraffes and even buffaloes.

We will walk around the crater (about 3 hours walk), enjoying incredible views. In the evening we return to Nairobi (approximately 2.5 hours on the way) and continue our guided tour to Kenya.

Day 5-6

парк Амбосели, деревня масаи

In the morning we fly to Lodwar and take a car to the shore of Lake Turkana (1.5 hours on the way). We check into a hotel near the picturesque village of Elie Springs and continue our guided tour to Kenya. Here, near the sources of fresh water in simple clay houses several thousand people live. Their life has changed little over the past century - they keep cattle and cook food on the fire.

But this typical Kenyan village is the cradle of human civilization! It was here that scientists found remains of Homo sapiens ancestors, which date back more than 300 thousand years. They are know kept in the Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

We will stay in a picturesque hotel next to the village, observe very authentic life and get to know locals families. In the morning we take a speed boat to Central Island National Park. This is a chain of dozens of volcanoes and lakes that fill their craters. Imagine volcanoes with lakes inside in the middle of the picturesque Turkana lake... We will see the most picturesque lakes with crocodiles and flamingos. In the evening we go back to our hotel near Elie Springs.
