Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival to Nairobi

Today, you'll land at Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi to kick off an 8-day Kenya Motorcycle tour. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by one of our motorcycle tour representatives and then escorted to your hotel. In the evening, there will be a briefing about the tour, an opportunity to inspect the tour motorbikes, and to get ready for the exciting Kenya motorcycle adventure that begins the following morning.

Day 2: Nairobi – Lake Naivasha

After an early breakfast, we'll embark on our Kenya Motorcycle tour, heading towards Ngong Hills. The route takes us along steep roads in the heart of the Kenya Rift Valley in Kedong, where we'll have the chance to encounter game and wildlife. Riding along the Mau Escarpment, we'll pass through picturesque, tranquil villages before descending to Lake Naivasha. At the lake, there will be an optional 1-hour sunset boat ride available at an additional cost. During the boat ride, you'll have the opportunity to spot various animals such as giraffes, zebras, hippos, antelopes, wildebeests, as well as numerous bird species including goliath herons, spoonbills, and giant kingfishers. We'll conclude the day with dinner and an overnight stay at Kongoni Lodge.

Day 3: Lake Naivasha - Mau Escarpement - Maasai Mara

Today, we bid farewell to Lake Naivasha and continue our Kenya motorcycle safari, traveling along a dirt track towards the Mau escarpment until we reach Narok town. From there, we proceed to Mara Base Camp, our accommodation for the night. Upon arrival at the park, we'll have lunch at the lodge before checking in. In the afternoon, we'll leave the motorbikes at the camp and embark on safari 4x4s for game drives in the Masai Mara, aiming to spot a variety of wildlife. The game drive will involve searching for and observing animals such as lions, leopards, giraffes, wildebeests, elands, cheetahs, herds of elephants, and more. We'll then return to the lodge for dinner and spend the night there.

Day 4: Maasai Mara

Following breakfast, you will set out for a full-day of game viewing throughout the park, with the option of having picnic lunch boxes. Alternatively, you can choose to have a morning and afternoon game drive with a hot lunch at the camp. Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to visit the Mara River, where the annual migration takes place. All your meals and overnight accommodations will be provided at the camp.

Day 5: Maasai Mara - Lake Victoria - Sori Bay

After breakfast, we will leave Mara and continue our Kenya motorcycling adventure tour by heading north of the great Masai Mara. We will traverse the Loita plains, known for their abundant wildlife including zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, giraffes, and various other animals, birds, and wildlife. Our journey will lead us to the shores of Lake Victoria, where we will stay overnight at Supanova Hotel.

Day 6: Sori Bay - Mbita Beach Point

Following breakfast, you will embark on a route leading to the shores of Lake Victoria, reaching our destination at Mbita point in the afternoon, where we will spend the night.

Day 7: Mbita Beach Point - Kericho

After enjoying your breakfast, you will depart in the morning via the Water Bus to cross Lake Victoria to Luanda Kotieno, from where you will continue your motorcycle adventure to Kericho Town. The road from Luanda Kotieno to Kisumu offers breathtaking sceneries and cultural sites like Kit Mikayi, a significant archaeological site. Kit Mikayi, meaning "first wife" in Dholuo, is a prominent rock formation along the Kisumu-Bondo highway, consisting of three stone columns standing side by side, each comprising massive boulders perfectly balanced on top of each other. According to Luo oral tradition, Kit Mikayi is tied to a story, a memory. Afterwards, you will proceed to Kericho for dinner and overnight stay.

Kericho, known as Tea country, has positioned Kenya as the world's third largest tea producer after India and Sri Lanka. The area features beautiful rolling hills covered in neat, bright green tea bushes, with a climate perfect for tea cultivation, as rain falls almost every afternoon. Kericho was named after Ole Kericho, a Maasai Chief who was killed in battle by the Gusii in the 19th Century. You will have the opportunity to visit the tea farms before returning to the hotel for your overnight stay.

Day 8: Kerich - Nairobi

It's regrettable that the safari must come to an end, but we are confident that you will depart with numerous thrilling and joyful memories. We hope that you will consider joining us on safari again in the future.

What people are saying about Claudious

Tremendous team-effort , highly professional attitude & coordination , mind-blowing guides & their game-drives , neat arrangements even in very adverse situations , superb hospitality from each & every employee..... Claudious Tours & Safaris made us feel at home from the very moment we stepped in Africa. Thank you for everything you did to us. Our trip wouldn't be so pleasant & successful without you guys.

In June, 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya, with Trekking Mount Kenya. I spent 4 days on the mountain and experienced the wonderful challenge and the friendly helpfulness and knowledge of my guides and porters. Everything was provided for my comfort and enjoyment so that it was a thoroughly fabulous and memorable trek! I recommend this company whole-heartedly.

Very organized, very friendly and professional staff. The tour was great, everything was as planned.

Randy

The Climbing Guides and service in both Kenya and Tanzania were super (5+ stars) Kenya Shem, Joxhu, Joseph & Agustin super and thanks. For Kilimanjaro, Deus and Goodlucky were fantastic. However Claudios needs to update the schedule (Lake Nakuru day 7 was canceled) and make available lunches (they were missing on 3 days to and from Nairobi) and make clear when travel will be alone. Finally the Nairobi service agent pushes additional add on Nairobi packages. These are of poor value and should be avoided. These additional package coverage was misleading and I should have avoided completely. This was a Nairobi issue only. Everyone else was above board and super to work with. in summary, the climbs are great and highly recommended. Note the published schedule is not exact and deal with the Nairobi service agent with caution. (Don't take the additional offerings.) Overall it was a very good experience where I met with many great people. Thanks to all.

Super fun!
