Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi and Transfer to Masai Mara
4 days · 4 of 4 expanded
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, or after pickup from your Nairobi hotel or residence, you will be welcomed by an Imara Africa Safaris representative and introduced to your safari guide. After a short briefing, you will begin the journey toward the Masai Mara, one of Kenya’s most celebrated safari destinations.
The drive offers a scenic introduction to Kenya’s countryside, with changing landscapes, local towns, open plains, and views along the way. You will arrive in the Masai Mara area in time for lunch, then check in and settle into camp before your first safari activity.
In the late afternoon, you will head out for an evening game drive across the savannah plains. This first game drive gives you a chance to start exploring the reserve and look for wildlife as the day begins to cool. You may see elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, antelopes, and, depending on movement and timing, predators becoming active toward dusk.
After the game drive, return to camp for dinner and overnight in the Masai Mara area.
Accommodation
Accommodation is subject to availability. We can suggest similar-level alternatives or tailor options to suit your budget.
After breakfast, you will spend the day exploring the Masai Mara on private game drives with a picnic lunch in the bush. Being a fully private safari, the day can be paced according to your interests, wildlife movement, photography needs, and your guide’s recommendations.
The Masai Mara is known for its open grasslands, big cats, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, antelopes, and rich birdlife. Your guide will help track wildlife while sharing useful insights about the reserve’s ecosystem, animal behavior, local landscapes, and seasonal patterns. You will have a chance to search for members of the Big Five, although sightings are always subject to nature and cannot be guaranteed.
A picnic lunch in the wild allows you to remain inside the reserve for more exploration without returning to camp during the middle of the day. This gives you more time to enjoy different parts of the Mara and appreciate the beauty of the savannah.
Later in the day, you will return to camp for relaxation, dinner, and overnight in the Masai Mara area.

After breakfast, you will visit a Maasai village for an enriching cultural experience. This visit offers a chance to learn about Maasai traditions, homestead life, songs, dances, dress, community structure, and the close relationship between the Maasai people and the landscapes surrounding the Mara.
After the cultural visit, you will continue your journey toward Lake Nakuru National Park. The drive takes you through changing scenery as you leave the Mara region and head toward the Great Rift Valley lake system. You will arrive in time for lunch, depending on road conditions and departure timing.
In the afternoon, enjoy game drives inside Lake Nakuru National Park. The park is well known for its rhinos, and it also supports buffalo, giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, baboons, monkeys, and various antelope species. Along the lakeshore, you may see flamingos and other birdlife, depending on water levels, feeding patterns, and seasonal conditions.
After the game drive, continue to your accommodation in the Lake Nakuru area for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, you will depart Lake Nakuru with an en-route game drive as you make your way out of the park. This gives you a final opportunity to enjoy the park’s scenery and look for wildlife before continuing toward Lake Naivasha.
At Lake Naivasha, you will enjoy a boat ride on the freshwater lake. The lake is known for hippos, fish eagles, water birds, and peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. Boat rides are subject to weather and lake conditions, but they are often a relaxing highlight after several days of road travel and game drives.
You will then continue to Crescent Island for a walking safari. This experience allows you to explore on foot in a beautiful natural setting where you may see giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and other plains wildlife at a gentle pace. It is a different kind of safari experience and a good way to connect with the landscape before returning to Nairobi.
After lunch, you will drive back to Nairobi for drop-off at your hotel, residence, or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This marks the end of your 4-day Kenya safari with Imara Africa Safaris.

Thank you for a great safari experience! The organisation process was excellent and professional. Vehicle safari is our huge recommendation. It’s an opportunity to see all the local animals and to hear their stories from the driver! Massai Mara and Nakuru are the top parks here. P. S. The only note is that walking safari doesn’t make any sense when you’re living in the hotel with the animals walking through the territory freely.

The safari fulfilled every safari dream. We loved our guide and driver. We cannot praise IMARA Africa Safari enough!! We highly recommend this wonderful safari to everyone

We had a blast and were well taken care of. Multiple days and locations with the great Patrick of Imara Safari Tours!
Craig McClelland/September 2026
We had a fantastic safari with Imara. Right from the start the team was easy and straight-forward to deal with. Our guide/driver was excellent (thanks so much Tony!), managed to find every animal on our wishlist, and made sure we enjoyed the whole trip. We were a group of 3 and did a private safari. This gave us a lot more flexibility about where to go, which animals to search for etc, and our guide (Tony) was always adjusting the plan make sure we had the best experience. Covering our 'spotting wishlist' was fantastic, but Tony was always working to ensure we got better views and up-close experience with our favourites. That made all the difference to how much we enjoyed the safari. I'd definitely recommend Imara, and we would happily book our next safari through them.

This trip is really one for the books! We started planning for a Safari Tour a year ago so that we will have an ample time to look for a good itinerary and tour provider that will our needs. We have inquired to several local travel agencies from our country, the Philippines and as well as thru online to Kenyan agencies. Most Kenyan agencies either disregarded our inquiries, too presistent that we book instantly or presented unreasonably priced agencies. We came across IMARA AFRICA SAFARIES thru Instagram and Wendy was very accommodating to our request. She patiently presented to us different options for our safari tours. And most welcomingly answered our never ending queries. She also gave us tips as to securing our travel documents down to our safari outfits. From then on, we knew IMARA is the right choice for us. So here we go! We booked and we eagerly anticipated for our much awaited safari experience! But I guess as the time came and no matter how prepared you were, there were some bumps along the way such as flight delays and missing our connecting flights. Yet, it never deterred our excitement. Good thing, Wendy was always in contact since day 1. And she was flexible as always readjusting our itinerary. We were met and greeted by the whole staff and even gave us souvenirs already. We met Wendy in person and of course Lewis who eagerly explained our itinerary. We also gotten to know Simon, our guide/driver in Kenya. He was very enthusiastic in touring us to different national parks in Kenya and made us witness the amazing wildlife it has to offer. We even driven into the deep areas of Maasai Mara just to find a whole pride of 20 lions! Next stop was Tanzania and there we met Dallas, our guide and driver and Mr Plan B guy. Without him, we could have never witnessed the Great Migration and completed the Big 5 of Africa. All in all, our safari experience was more than what we expected and way too amazing! It was way too difficult to part ways with our two big guides who made this experience memorable! Thank you Imara Africa Safaries! We would definitely recommend you to everyone for their safari experience! Five stars!!!

Exceptional people, fantastic service, the best. Don't book anywhere else. Edward, our guide and driver was the best. I will request him again at the next adventure. Edward, you are the best!

Thank you so much Imara Team for our unforgetable Safari Tour (5 days)! We (2 adults, 12 + 9 year old children from Germany) spent an incredible time in Masai Mara, at Lake Naivasha and Amboseli Parc. Only 3 weeks in advance we booked our trip and faced a very professional and prompt communication. At that point a big THANK YOU to Susan! We were picked up at our hotel, where we were given a detailed overview of our itinerary and route. The team surprised us with a few very useful gifts. The 4x4 was in a good condition and the frige was filled with enough cold drinks. Wifi worked well. There were small binoculars on board, but we didn't need to use them because we were so close to the animals. Our very experienced guide, Patrick, gave us some incredibly beautiful experiences. Without his knowledge and intuition, we wouldn't have seen so many amazing animals up close. He had a good network of contacts among other drivers and park attendants A very, very big THANK YOU to Patrick! We will unconditionally recommend Imara Tours to our families, friends, and everyone else.

We had a wonderful experience with Imara Safaris. They made everything easy, arranging all transport, accommodation, and meals during the trip. Our guide Patrick was brilliant and expertly drove us around Masai Mara, getting a great view of lots of animals. We would definitely recommend Imara!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend a 7 day Lakes & Plains safari with Imara Africa this summer for our honeymoon. From the first message that we sent out asking for quotes and a proposed itinerary all the way to when we landed in Nairobi, Faith was there to make sure we had all of our questions answered and that our experience was exactly what we wanted. She was incredibly accommodating to us, answering at all hours of the day and making sure that we were informed and comfortable with each step of our itinerary and journey. Most of all, we never felt pressured to book or make deposits, which was incredibly important since other companies were actively putting sales pressure on us everyday. Also, the accommodations were all fantastic, clean, and exceptionally hospitable. The food was also delicious. Edward, or the “safari doctor” as we’ve come to know him, is an incredible guide. He is personable, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was happy to share everything he knew about each animal that we saw, from a small bird to a leopard that we were fortunate enough to see climbing up a tree with its kill in Maasai Mara. We couldn’t have been more fortunate as we were to be paired with Edward for the past week, and I’m positive that all of Imara’s guides are just as exceptional as he is. We never felt rushed while spending time at each park, and Edward and Faith both worked together to accomplish a small itinerary change, since we wanted to spend a little extra time at the Mara in substitution for another activity. He seemed to be friends with everyone that we encountered across the trip, and it’s clear why that is— he’s a genuinely kind and knowledgeable person, and is great at what he does. Thank you so much for the most incredible honeymoon my wife and I could have asked for!
