Kenya - Star Route
Star Route
In this itinerary we propose a trip inspired by how we discovered Kenya for the first time, to delve into a more remote version of the country, one that many travelers overlook by focusing only on the best-known parks.
This route combines 4x4 safaris, boat safaris and nature walks to create a journey where landscapes are constantly changing, and places like Maji Moto bring us closer to the heart of the Maasai people, bringing a deeper cultural dimension.
What makes it different? We designed a route that goes beyond the Maasai Mara, following that first route that led us to discover less explored regions such as Samburu and rhino conservation projects such as Ol Pejeta, along with some of the great icons of the country.

Arribada a Nairobi
Un representant de Watatu et rebrà a l’aeroport internacional Jomo Kenyatta de Nairobi (entre les 7 i les 9 del matí). Des d’allà, un cop reunits, ens dirigirem a l’hotel situat a la ciutat de Nairobi. Aquest primer dia està destinat a aterrar amb tranquil·litat, descansar del viatge i començar a sentir el pols de Kenya.
Rumb a Samburu: primer safari a la Kenya remota
Comencem! Iniciem la nostra aventura deixant enrere la ciutat de Nairobi i dirigint-nos a la Reserva Nacional de Samburu. Creuarem les terres altes centrals, plantacions de cafè i te, i poblets locals que ens mostren la Kenya més rural. Després d’un trajecte d’unes 5 hores, ens espera Samburu, un paisatge més àrid, dominat pel riu Ewaso Nyiro i llar d’espècies úniques com la zebra de Grevy, la girafa reticulada, l’oryx o el gerenuk. Aquí farem el nostre primer safari.
Full Safari in Samburu: Felines and the “Special Five”
We will tour the national park in search of felines and the so-called “Five Specials” of Samburu, a full day to understand why Samburu is one of the most authentic places in the country. We will get up early to take advantage of the best safari hours that we will divide into two departures: one from 6 to 12 in the morning and another from 16 to 18 in the afternoon, the hours in which the animals are most active. Between both departures we will rest and have lunch at the accommodation.
From Samburu to Ol Pejeta: safari and conservation
After breakfast, we will say goodbye to Samburu with a safari en route and head towards Ol Pejeta. This area is a world reference in the conservation and protection of wildlife. Upon arrival in the middle of the morning, we will begin the safari, famous for hosting one of the largest populations of white and black rhinos in Africa. After a hot lunch at the accommodation, in the afternoon we will continue our safari in search of elephants, lions and antelopes.
Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island: Boat and Walking Safari
After a morning safari to leave Ol Pejeta, today we travel to Lake Naivasha (approx. 5 h). Upon arrival at the accommodation in Naivasha, we will have a strong lunch and then go on a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, sailing among hippos and an incredible variety of birds, with the fishing eagles as protagonists. The experience continues on Crescent Island, the paradise of Naivasha. We will spend the afternoon on this secluded and unique island, where we will do a walking safari, walking freely among giraffes, wildebeests, zebras and water antelopes in a safe environment, a very special way to connect with African nature.
Maasai culture in the hills of Loita
Early in the morning, we will start the route south, in the direction of Maji Moto. Once we arrive, we will stay in our camp at the top of the Loita hills, with endless views of the Maasai plains. In the afternoon, guided by our Maasai guide, we will take a walk through nature and learn their ancestral knowledge about medicinal plants and animal footprints. At the end of the tour, we will reach the center of the village of Maji Moto, where the hot springs that give life and supply the community spring. We will return to the accommodation to watch the sunset and enjoy a training demonstration of Maasai warriors. We end the day sitting by the fire to listen to the stories and ancestral songs that connect us with the essence of this wild land.
Masai Mara: the most famous reserve in the world
After breakfast we will head to the mythical Maasai Mara. Upon entering the reserve, the savannah will open before us, we will be in one of the best places on the planet to observe the big five. During the morning we will look for big cats and herbivores, and at noon we will head to the accommodation located in the heart of the park for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, we will leave the safari again, from 15:30 to 18:00 h, to explore this golden immensity, where every bend of the road can hide an unforgettable scene.
Masai Mara: Legendary Full-Day Safari
We have waited for it, we have heard it and it has finally arrived: the most famous safari in the world. At 6:00 in the morning we will go on safari, just at the time when the wildlife is most awake. For hours we will walk through this legendary scenario, following trails, reading the terrain with our guides and looking for the animals, the main protagonists. We will return to the accommodation for lunch and in the afternoon, when the sun sets again and the savannah regains its golden magic, we will go out again. It's the moment when predators reactivate, the perfect closure for a day that will be etched forever.
Comiat de l’Àfrica: retorn a Nairobi
Ara sí, la ruta està arribant al seu final. Un viatge que segurament, com a nosaltres, et marcarà per sempre. Després d’uns dies molt intensos, avui iniciarem el dia de manera més relaxada. Després de l’últim esmorzar en plena sabana, ens acomiadarem del Masai Mara i emprendrem el retorn per carretera a Nairobi. I encara que sembli increïble, l’aventura està concloent. Depenent de l’horari del vol internacional, es podran organitzar activitats opcionals a la ciutat o l’ús d’un day room abans del trasllat a l’aeroport Jomo Kenyatta (el vol ha de sortir a la tarda a partir de les 17 h).
