And top it all off with a hot air balloon ride over the plains and a visit to a local village for a cultural deep dive you’ll never forget.
Itinerary Teaser
Hello and welcome, adventurers! We’re kicking off 11 days of pure, unfiltered epicness with a game drive that’ll set the tone for the whole trip. Meet your crew, grab your camera, and let’s hit the road - your adventure starts now.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 the elusive white rhino. 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 - just remember you'll need to have bought your ticket in advance on the Sheldrick Website.Passing through the Great Rift Valley, we’ll get to our Maasai Mara camp. In the evening, we'll set up our very first camp of the trip(!). Then you're free to spend the evening chatting & bonding with your crew around a bonfire, and grabbing dinner at the camp.
