8 Days/ 7 Nights Barack Obama "Roots" Kenya Safari Detailed Itinerary

Arrival at Nairobi’s JKI Airport. After immigration and customs formalities, you will be transferred to your hotel.

(Mileage – Approximately 175 Kilometers: Driving Time – Approximately Three Hours)
After a delicious breakfast, we travel overland to Lake Nakuru National Park for a full day game viewing experience.

The spectacular alkaline Lake is famously known as the feeding ground of both lesser and greater flamingos. This National park, which is fenced all round is a sanctuary for birds, Rothschild giraffes and both black and white-rhinos.

Other mammals in abundance include Waterbucks, Buffalos, Gazelles, Lions, Baboons and the elusive Leopards sometimes seen sleeping on the horizontal branches of the “Fever trees”.

Lunch will be served at one of the lodges located in the game park, offering its own local specialties, served with fresh produce from the region.

Overnight at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge or Lake Nakuru Lodge
Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

Drive via Kericho to Kisumu. Kisumu is a port city in western Kenya. It is the third largest city in Kenya, the principal city of western Kenya, the capital of Nyanza Province and the headquarters of Kisumu District.

Afternoon visit the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary. Measuring just 0.4 square miles, the sanctuary is one of Kenya's smallest wildlife preserves. As its name suggests, it is home to a herd of impala. Some hippos, as well as many reptiles and birds are also present.

Additionally, several caged baboons and leopards who faced difficulties of one sort or the other in the wild are held in cages there.

This will be followed by a visit to Kit Mikayi, a large rock with three rocks on top, and is located off Kisumu Bondo Road towards Bondo.

It is a weeping rock; it is believed that Mikayi (which means, literally, "the first wife") went up the hill to the stones when her husband took a second wife, and has been weeping ever since

The village has a primary school and a high school named after (Senator Obama Secondary School). There is also a health centre.

The village is linked by road to Kisumu town. It is a typical Kenyan rural village with most residents living modestly by small-scale farming. Picnic Lunch at the village. Return to Kisumu City.

The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled.

The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another.

After lunch, explore the Reserve on a late evening 'Spice' game drive. No matter how much you have thought about Africa, this is more than you expected—the big five-Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino and Cape buffalo are in abundance.

Overnight at Mara Sopa Lodge or similar
Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

The annual wildebeest migration is expected in the Masai Mara between July and early November. Millions of animals migrate to the Mara from Serengeti in search for fresh green pastures and water. It’s worth noting that every game drive is different from the other, and missing one is missing out on the fun.

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

We rise early for breakfast and then depart for a full-day game drive. Wildlife in the Masai Mara is so abundant and so varied that you will find the early hours bring game sighting quite different from the drives later in the day. In particular, be alert for many of the bird species that inhabit this wilderness.

We enjoy a picnic lunch out in the African bush and then resume our game drive. Dinner is at the lodge this evening.

(Mileage – Approximately 310 Km: Driving Time – Approximately Six Hours)

We enjoy an early breakfast and then we drive to Nairobi (or take an optional flight to Nairobi - cost not included). We have lunch at the InterContinental Hotel.

The rest of your afternoon is at leisure. You might take this opportunity to visit Collectors Den. The store displays items pertaining to Kenya and Tanzania's cultural heritage, and offers unique carvings, artifacts, clothing and gem stones to augment and expand the experiences you've had on your visit.

If you are returning to the United States, you have a day room available for the afternoon and dinner at the Hotel is included. Early in the evening, you fly from Nairobi to Amsterdam. As we leave Africa we know that the old adage is true: you may leave Africa, but Africa will never leave you.
