Private Nairobi Welcome

Our guide will meet you at JKIA or your confirmed Nairobi hotel between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m. After a private journey briefing, travel 270–300 km through Kenya’s central highlands, Nakuru and Marigat. The drive takes 5–6½ hours excluding lunch, traffic and scenic stops. A comfortable stop overlooking the Rift Valley may be included when weather and road conditions allow.

Bogoria Sunset Experience

Around 3:30 p.m., explore permitted areas near Lake Bogoria, where steep escarpments, geothermal activity and seasonal waterbirds create a dramatic introduction to the honeymoon.

Intimate Savannah Exploration

Breakfast begins around 6:00 a.m., followed by departure between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. Your private safari vehicle explores grasslands, riverine areas and seasonal waterways without requiring you to follow another group’s pace. Our guide will interpret animal behaviour while searching for elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, hyenas and birds. Wildlife remains unpredictable, and seasonal migration activity cannot be guaranteed.

Picnic in the Mara

A picnic lunch is served at an authorized location between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Continue exploring during the afternoon, allowing time for photographs and peaceful observation. An authorized sundowner may be requested through the confirmed accommodation, but location, weather, park regulations and additional charges apply. Return between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. for a private dinner where available, followed by a comfortable night surrounded by the atmosphere of the African savannah.

Lunch is served between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. at the lodge or an authorized picnic location.

Final Wildlife Moments

A final game drive may start around 6:30 a.m. when flight plans, lodge position and entry conditions allow.

Return to Nairobi

Travel 200–240 km through Emali to Nairobi, requiring 4–5½ hours excluding lunch, traffic and comfort stops. Our guide will take you to JKIA, Wilson Airport or a confirmed Nairobi hotel.
