Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi & Transfer to Lake Nakuru

Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the Jossec Safaris team will warmly greet you and provide a briefing about the safari.

Prices for this safari depend on the time of year—whether it’s peak, high, or low season—and your preferred accommodation type, ranging from budget to luxury lodges.
