Start your day with a 6:30AM pickup from your Nairobi hotel. Head over to the Nairobi National Park, the most accessible of all of Kenya's parks. See the rhinos, lions, leopards, buffalo, and 450 species of birds as you tour.
Next stop is the world famous David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage from 11:00AM – 12:00PM to meet a herd of baby elephants and learn about the work done to rescue them from poachers. The orphanage successfully raises milk-dependent baby elephant and rhino orphans. During your hour there, the baby elephants will be brought out to play and feed as you watch them from behind a rope.
You will then be driven to the Giraffe Center to get up close and personal with Rothschild giraffes, Africa's tallest mammals. Here you will ascend up to an observation platform where you can meet giraffes at their eye level. Pet, stroke, scratch and feed them, and if you are brave you can even kiss them.
After the morning excitement, we visit Karen Blixen Coffee Garden for a delicious lunch of international standard. Relax in the shady garden and enjoy a selection of high-quality international cuisine.
After lunch you will be dropped off to your Nairobi Hotel.
My four-day trip to Mt Kenya was extra ordinary because of the services provided by this local travel specialist. The food was equal to that of 5 stars hotel and the accommodations was safest particularly on their high quality tents. Their professional guides kept time and worked out with itinerary and everything was successful. I highly recommend for their firm professionalism.
After breakfast depart from your Nairobi hotel at 7:00 AM and drive to Hell's Gate National Park with stops at several view points to marvel at the scenic Great Rift Valley escarpment. Hell’s Gate is one of Kenya's smaller national parks, which can be explored on foot or on a bicycle.

The park has historically been an important home for the rare lammergeier vultures.
At around 11:00 AM, visit the gorge for 1 hour. Capture beautiful panoramas of the gorge with small depressions of land-mass where you can walk underneath.
12:00 PM: return the bike at the gate on the way to visit the Maasai community.

Masai Mara Game Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park are the most famous and the most frequently visited in Kenya due to their uniqueness. The 4 Days Budget Safari is an adventure tour that starts with the Masai Mara - Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight.
The sensation of the great Wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled which makes it the 8th wonder of the World. Centuries of close association with wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Maasai people live in peace with one another here.
Lake Nakuru National Park is dominated by a gentle undulating terrain with open bush and woodlands, typical of the dry Rift Valley vegetation. Twenty seven percent (27%) of the park is composed of the Lake Nakuru waters. Lake Nakuru was declared a Rhino sanctuary in 1983. The rhino stocking program which ensued received White Rhinos from South Africa. Currently, the sanctuary has approximately 45 Black and 31 White Rhinoceros with multi-million flamingo birds.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We saw the highlights of East Africa over an amazing 3 weeks, and the memories will last a lifetime. The G Adventures staff were amazing as always, and were one of the highlights of my holiday.

G made what could have been a logistical nightmare to face alone, an easy and well-run trip through southern and east Africa. The interactions we were able to have with local communities were unforgettable and knowing exactly how our money is helping these regions goes a long way to justifying paying for a tour. All the CEOs were well organised and friendly and I feel like I learned a lot as well as seeing so many beautiful sights. There are improvements to be made in terms of the pricing of optional activities and the intense itinerary but overall, I had a life-changing trip.
