Venga con nosotros al norte hacia el Lago Naivasha. Pare en el camino para disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas del Valle del Rift antes de continuar hacia el lago. Al llegar visite el Parque Nacional Hell´s Gate. Este terreno de 70 kilómetros cuadrados es uno de los pocos parques nacionales de Kenia donde se permite caminar. El parque cuenta con muchos herbívoros y aves para observar, así como aguas termales, espectaculares acantilados y desfiladeros que podrá explorar. Un almuerzo en un restaurante es una gran oportunidad para degustar la cocina regional y mezclarse con los lugareños. Con el estómago lleno nos dirigiremos al Centro de Conservación de Elsamere en las orillas del lago. Una vez este sitio era la casa de Joy y George Adamson que dedicaron su vida a la conservación de la fauna silvestre. Se les recuerda por su relación con la leona Elsa, que criaron desde un cachorro para devolverla después a la naturaleza.
A special two-night taste of both parks. Stay at Ashnil Aruba Lodge, overlooking the Aruba dam and boasting a location in the heart of the park. Your second night will be spent at the luxurious Severin Safari Camp where you have the best chance of spotting a hippo or two as you unwind, drink in hand, soaking up the safari atmosphere. Tsavo is the largest park in Kenya, the East is dry and barren whilst the West is more green and fertile, a complete contrast on this great safari. With a good chance of spotting the 'big five', numerous other animals, colourful birds and some amazing scenery along the way. One of our most popular safaris and great value too.
Un viaje corto para las personas que no tienen mucho tiempo disponible, pero que tienen ganas de experimentar lo mejor que ciudades y pueblos de Kenia tiene para ofrecer. Con esta excursión podrá descubrir los principales monumentos, los edificios del Parlamento, el mercado de la ciudad, el Museo Nacional y el Parque de la Serpientes.
Search for treasures in a local market in one of Nairobi’s less-explored suburbs Share a home cooked meal with a local family and learn how to make chapatti, a Kenyan favourite Learn about Kenyan culture and communities Meet female entrepreneurs who risk it all to provide for their families All net proceeds of this tour will go to support Zawadisha, a charitable micro-lender helping women in Nairobi.
Spend a day with charitable organisation Zawadisha and see a side of Nairobi you never expected! Explore a local market, enjoy lunch with a local family, and meet local female entrepreneurs who have received loans from Zawadisha.
Zawadisha is a charitable organisation whose mission is to provide small loans with big impact to Kenyan women. On this Nairobi tour, you’ll get to meet a member of the organisation, along with the women who have been helped through Zawadisha’s efforts. You’ll meet your Zawadisha guide in town at the Comfort Suites before hopping in a vehicle and heading for the nearby community of Kayole.
The journey will take approximately one hour as you leave Nairobi proper and head into the suburbs of the city. During this time you’ll be able to ask your Zawadisha guide the burning questions you have about the culture and landscape of Kenya. In Kayole, we’ll head to a local market where you’ll be greeted by Cecilia, a long-time resident of this community. She’ll take you on a two-hour tour of the market, and give you the chance to explore the market at your leisure, stopping at kiosks that sell everything from fruits and vegetables to secondhand clothing. You’ll also get to meet a few local women who have received loans from Zawadisha to start and grow their businesses.
From there, we’ll head to Cecilia’s home for lunch, where we’ll share a homemade meal of pilau and stew with Cecilia and her family. Then, after lunch, Cecilia will teach you how to make chapatti, a Kenyan staple that is similar to a tortilla or naan. Make sure to take notes — you’ll want to cook this for your friends when you return home!
We’ll then depart Cecilia’s and head back to the centre of Nairobi. There, we’ll settle into one of our favourite local haunts and relax with a cold Tusker beer or Stoney soda. As you sip, you’ll catch a bird’s-eye view of the hustle and bustle of the city centre — giving you a taste of so much more to explore while you’re in town
Este tour es una combinación ideal para personas que tienen muy poco tiempo en Nairobi. Al principio visitaremos el Parque Nacional de Nairobi situado a 10 kilómetros (6 millas) del centro de la capital. Fundado en 1946, tiene 114 km cuadrados (44 millas) de sabana virgen con un amplio ganado migratorio de caza y se encuentra entre el ferrocarril de Nairobi-Mombasa y el suburbio jardinero de Langata. Está abierto en su perímetro sur-este y aquí el Área de Conservación de Kitengela permite la migración natural del ganado que tiene lugar durante las lluvias estacionales. Después de visitar el parque tomaremos un almuerzo en el restaurante El Carnívoro. Famoso por sus suculentos bistecs, platos de barbacoa y gran variedad de carne de caza, el Carnívoro casi se ha convertido en un punto de referencia de Nairobi que no se puede perder y hasta un atractivo turístico como el Museo Nacional. Terminaremos nuestro viaje con un espectáculo preparado por varios bailarines tradicionales y más tarde una orientación entre las distintas tribus de Kenia en la tierra de Bomas de Kenia.
Disfrute de una gran variedad de aves de Kenya en los hermosos lagos del Valle del Rift, donde los animales rozan la costa. Concentraciones de flamencos varían según la temporada. Lago Nakuru, poco profundo y alcalino, situado en el lecho del Gran Valle del Rift, se ha ganado su fama por ser el hogar del mayor espectáculo de aves del mundo, una miríada de a veces más de un millón de flamencos rosados que estacionalmente utilizan el sitio para alimentarse en la abundancia de algas que prosperan en sus cálidas y poco profundas aguas. El destino se encuentra a 160 kilómetros (100 millas) de Nairobi.
Parque Nacional de Nairobi es un único refugio de vida silvestre ubicado en el horizonte de Nairobi. Aquí podrá ver distintos herbívoros deambulando por las praderas del parque.

This excellent value lodge commands a favourable location in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve - it even has its own airstrip. The lodge is built next to a hippo pool where you may see animals basking in the sunshine. There's also a wooden walkway that lets you get that little bit closer to these impressive creatures. At the end of the walkway you find a viewing area with a bar - perfect for that pre-dinner drink. The lodge itself is a comfortable place to stay and features accommodation in cottages set throughout the gardens. There's even a swimming pool for cooling off between game drives. Surrounding the lodge is the Masai Mara reserve, with its fantastic game-viewing opportunities - the sheer concentration of animals here is astonishing.
