Itinerary

Day 1: Mount Longonot Hike, Lake Naivasha Boat Ride & Scenic Return

Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi, heading straight for the breathtaking landscapes of Mount Longonot National Park.

You'll start your challenging yet rewarding hike on the well-marked trails, where dense forests blend with rugged volcanic rock. Immerse yourself in the diverse vegetation, keeping an eye out for unique bird species as you ascend the steep slopes. After a vigorous 2-3 hour climb, you'll reach the spectacular crater rim summit around midday. Here, you'll enjoy a brief rest and a packed lunch while marveling at the panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley—a unforgettable reward for your effort.

You'll then begin your scenic descent, taking an alternate route to experience new vistas. By early afternoon, you'll transfer to the shores of Lake Naivasha for a serene and captivating boat ride. You'll glide across the sparkling waters, getting up close to hippos, watching for majestic fish eagles, and admiring the vibrant birdlife along the papyrus shores.

After the boat ride, you will enjoy a late, well-deserved lunch at the charming Crescent Camp in Naivasha, reflecting on the day's adventures. Following lunch, you will begin your return journey to Nairobi, with an evening drop-off at Muthu Silver Springs Hotel or the airport.

Day 2: Nairobi National Park Safari, Elephant Orphanage & Giraffe Centre Tour

Your second day begins with a 6:00 AM pickup for a full day dedicated to Nairobi's iconic wildlife experiences.

Morning: Nairobi National Park Game Drive
We'll enter the unique Nairobi National Park—the world's only wildlife park within a capital city. Enjoy a 3-hour morning game drive across the park's open plains with the city skyline as a backdrop. Look out for lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, and abundant antelope.

Mid-Morning: David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Next, visit the world-renowned David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Witness the 11:00 AM public feeding session of orphaned elephant and rhino calves, a heartwarming and educational conservation experience.

Amazing Tour!
We've had the most amazing tour with Charles. His knowledge is outstanding! He really made our trip perfect. I would not recommend anybody else. The places we've visited were Maasai Mara and Amboseli, and I will definitely come back for other national parks.

Amazing Guide!
For our 25th anniversary, my husband and I spent two weeks on safari with Charles, traveling to all corners of Kenya. Charles is an amazing guide as well as delightful company. He handles all situations with grace and has boundless knowledge of his country and wildlife. I highly recommend Charles as a guide and hope to return one day for another Kenyan adventure with Charles.

Truly Exceptional!
I did a 3-week safari with Charles of Dens of Africa (Amboseli, Samburu, Nakura, Maasai Mara). A great itinerary is only part of a great safari. A truly exceptional experience requires a talented guide/driver with a keen eye, excellent instincts on animal behavior, and understanding of positioning to take world-class photos. Dens of Africa delivered exactly this exceptional experience. They went above and beyond to enable the most exhilarating photography I have ever done. Moreover, Charles is a delight to ride with--his positive attitude and sense of humor brightened each day. It's a privilege to call him a lifelong friend.
