The Best 5-day Trips in East Africa with 12 Reviews
Hell’s Gate, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara—this five-day private safari is a whirlwind introduction to Kenya’s most captivating destinations. Designed especially for seniors seeking a comfortable yet active getaway, the tour blends gentle adventure with exceptional wildlife and birdwatching opportunities.
Start your journey with a bicycle ride along a scenic seven-kilometre trail in Hell’s Gate National Park, followed by a unique walking safari—an invigorating way to get close to the park’s striking landscapes and resident animals. The trip continues to Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, both renowned for their beauty and, in the case of Nakuru, as a hotspot for bird enthusiasts. Here, you’ll witness what’s often called the greatest ornithological spectacle on earth—flamingos and a dazzling variety of birdlife.
The grand finale is the Maasai Mara, Kenya’s legendary wildlife reserve. Traverse its vast grasslands on guided game drives, searching for the Big Five and soaking in the sweeping savannahs. Throughout your journey, knowledgeable local guides share insight into each park’s unique ecosystem and history.
What sets this tour package apart is its active, hands-on approach—offering experiences such as cycling and walking safaris, not just traditional game drives. It’s an ideal trip for those who wish to maximize their time in Kenya with a mix of gentle activity, wildlife encounters, and scenic exploration, all wrapped in the ease and comfort of a private, guided experience.

We have just returned from our unforgettable Adventure which was organized by this tour operator. Each day of our safari was amazing, We had a brilliant guide who knows where and when to see the best animals on action and he even speaks a very fluent English and he took care of us from the day one to the last day of our safari.
During the safari you will spend a lot of time with your guide so it’s very important to have a guide to explain to you, make jokes and tell you more of his country, Culture and history and we were very like to have Herman as our guide.
The meals was amazing and we got served hot lunches on lunchtime and our jeep was filled with plenty of Water, Wines, Beer and Soda, we saw lot of other tourists having their cold packed food.
Through Herman we learnt a lot about Animals, Cultures, He never rushed and allowed us to take many beautiful pictures as much as we wanted. We saw all the Big Five and the rest of other wild animals like antelopes, giraffes and birds.
The roads are not good so prepare yourselves for a free African Massage as Daudi the Manager told us during the briefing.
Also trust their selection of lodges and am sure you will never regret, Daudi suggested to us Ngorongoro Serena, Intimate Camp, Mara Luxury Lodge and Four seasons. Those lodges are expensive but unlike others the tour company prepared a proposal with reasonable price while other International agencies charged us more and more.
Always book your safari with a local agency like this one as we did for affordable prices. Save yourself the time we spent and Choose Meijo Safaris.
We would definitely recommend this tour and the tour company for unforgettable adventures.
