Itinerary trip highlights

Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Dar es Salaam.

Cooking

We take turns with the cooking. Two meals a day are included while on the truck. We normally have lunch out at local cafes on the way, lots of fun. Meals out are not included.

Camping

Those campsites that are more basic tend to be more scenic; that is especially in the game parks where basic toilets and cold showers are the norm. After a night at such camps we do our best to follow with a hot shower bar campsite. Although in the Masai Mara are two basic nights, but the wild beauty and the animals in the park more than makes up for this.

Changes

You should be aware that things change frequently in Africa; camps open and close, as do the roads. So there is a chance that the itinerary may have to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Start and before the trip

We leave the camp at 8am on the first day of the trip. We recommend you arrive in Nairobi the day before, however if you're there with a few days to spare there's lots to see and do around the city. Close to the camp is Karen Blixen's, Langata Giraffe Centre or even Nairobi National Park for a first glimpse of African wildlife.
