Itinerary in detail

Every Jacada trip is tailored to your personal preferences and interests. Below you’ll find a sample itinerary to inspire your own custom-designed journey.

Days 1–2

Overnight in Nairobi

Begin your trip with a night in Kenya‘s busy capital, Nairobi. If you have time for a little exploring, the city has a handful of intriguing attractions to discover. Otherwise, simply unwind after your long flight and make sure you’re completely relaxed before heading to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy tomorrow.

Days 2–5

Three days on safari in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Take in Kenya’s stunning Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and some of Africa’s best rhino safaris. Your time here will be spent enjoying day and night game drives to spot the varying wildlife, horse riding, camel trekking, bush walks as well as archaeological site excursions and lectures on the history of conservancy, which this catchment is known for.

Visit Ngare Ndare Forest

Today you will have the opportunity to visit the Ngare Ndare Forest Trust. This forest lies to the southeast of Borana, home to communities who have lived here for centuries. Within the forest there are some magnificent rock pools, filled with clear blue spring water, and a canopy walk to get you close to nature.

ATV rides

Quad biking fun

This expedition takes you on a quad bike or buggy through the rugged wilderness of northern Kenya, where true adventure off the beaten track awaits. The safari follows tracks through muddy, rocky, dusty terrain, where nomadic tribes of the north remain true to a traditional way of life.

Days 5–6

Three days to discover the Mara Conservancies

The Mara Conservancies surrounding the Masai Mara National Reserve offer visitors the ultimate safari: the lowest tourist densities, incredible day and night game viewing, walking safaris and authentic cultural interactions. But above all, these Conservancies are managed according to a model that protects the delicate eco-system and benefits the landowners themselves – the Maasai people.

Maasai cultural evening

Tonight you will join the Maasai warriors as they sing and dance around the campfire. Music and dance is an incredibly important part of Maasai culture and this is a chance to experience something very special as the embers of the fire glow warm and the rhythmic dancing and chanting floats through the still air.

Masai Mara hot air balloon

Hot air balloon safari

Enjoy the unforgettable experience of floating gently over the Maasai Mara in a hot air balloon. Wake before dawn with freshly brewed tea or coffee delivered right to your tent, and enjoy the fresh, early morning drive to one of the two launch sites within easy reach from the lodge. Before you know it, the balloon is airborne and you’re floating effortlessly above the Mara.
