Your classic Kenya safari begins with a warm welcome from your Miana Tours guide at Nairobi airport or hotel. Journey northwest to the magnificent Great Rift Valley, descending into this geological wonder that stretches across Kenya. Arrive at Lake Naivasha, the highest and most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes, where fresh waters create an oasis teeming with life.
This freshwater paradise is fringed with papyrus clusters where kingfishers perch and herons hunt. Unlike other Rift Valley lakes, Naivasha’s altitude of 1,910 meters keeps the waters too cold for crocodiles, but supports healthy hippo populations. The lakeshore vineyards contribute to Kenya’s growing wine industry, creating a unique blend of wildlife and agriculture. Settle into your accommodation as the sun sets over the lake, with the evening sounds of hippos and nocturnal birds welcoming you to Africa.

After breakfast, journey to the world-famous Lake Nakuru National Park, crossing the equator as you travel southward. This alkaline lake is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world, renowned for its spectacular flamingo populations that can number up to two million birds, creating an unforgettable pink ribbon around the shoreline.
Beyond the flamingos, Lake Nakuru serves as a successful rhino sanctuary, protecting over 100 black and white rhinos. Your afternoon game drive reveals diverse wildlife including rare tree-climbing lions, giraffes, buffalo, and numerous antelope species. Visit Baboon Cliff for breathtaking panoramic views of the entire lake ecosystem, offering exceptional photographic opportunities of the flamingo spectacle below.

As the northern extension of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the world’s most spectacular wildlife migration. Arrive in time for lunch at your selected lodge or camp, then venture out for your first afternoon game drive. The golden hours of late afternoon provide perfect lighting for photography as you encounter your first wildlife sightings in this iconic African landscape.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at the iconic Mara River migration point, where between July and October you might witness the dramatic river crossings of the Great Wildebeest Migration. The Mara is one of the few places where visitors can potentially see the Big Five in a single morning. Bird enthusiasts will delight in nearly 500 recorded species, including numerous eagles, hawks, vultures, and the world’s heaviest flying bird, the Kori bustard.
