Go wild into the wild on our Great Migration Safari
We’ll pick you up at the airport and get you checked into our hotel so you can kick back after your travels.We will meet by the pool for a welcome cocktail and lunch, where we can start getting to know each other! After we unpack a bit, we’ll walk to the nearby trails of The Nairobi Arboretum for a walk and fun 'shake out' workout. Head straight into the eucalyptus steam room and sauna before our first family dinner and orientation. It's a laid-back start, but trust us, this adventure is just getting started!
Early to rise, early to workout, early to eat because we're checking out of our Nairobi hotel and heading into the adventure. Our first stop is the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where we play and maybe even adopt a baby elephant! After that, we will grab lunch in Karen, followed by the Giraffe Centre where we hand feed these new long necked friends of ours.
Once we're done with our days activities, we'll hit the road out of the city and drive to the coolest hotel you will ever stay in on Lake Naivasha. Warning: you will see Hippo's tonight!
We start the morning with a tranquil yoga session on the hotel grounds before breakfast. There may be a zebra or water buck grazing past you while you're in your downward dog! After breakfast, we will head to Hells Gate National Park for our bike safari! Stepping out of the confines of the 4x4 and really getting to know this incredible landscape and it's animals. This is the place where we see the ridge that Simba's father was killed on in 'Lion King'... ya it's a real place.
We will head back to our hotel for lunch, and maybe a drink to calm our nerves before our Hippo Boat tour! We're getting up close and personal with these big creatures. You're going to remember this one.
After a nice sleep in and cappuccino, we will pack our bags and make our own great migration to the Masai Mara. Our time in our comfy 4x4 land cruisers serves as a great opportunity for get-to-know-you games and deep chats. We will check into our hotel at 2pm and get reach to head to the Masai Village. Meet local people, learn about the culture we are in, and tour the souvenir shops.
Rise and shine, today is an ALL DAY EXCURSION through the wild Masai Mara! As we drive off trails, our drivers hunt for the wild animals in this incredibly vast wild park (583 mi² to be precise). Watching out for the well known predators, and their opponents like the Zebra, Wildebeest, Giraffe, Hippo...and the dangerous Crocodiles with a visit to the Mara river. All our guests say this day feels like a dream as we make a picnic lunch under a tree overlooking the plains. You'd better have backup batteries for that camera because we'll continue through hunting for a glimpse into the wild animals lives.
Then it's off to our lodge for a big dinner, a few drinks and a good night's sleep.
Gooood Morning! The Hot Air Balloon is optional but HIGHLY recommended. Wake up at 4:30am, the air is crisp, temperature still cool and long before the sun rises. We drive deep into the Masai Mara and watch our hot air balloon get inflated. And as we start to rise so does the sun... if you are looking for one of the most magical moments of your life - this is it. The sun is rising, you're way above the plains, elephants grazing, lions hunting, but all we hear is beautiful silence. Wow.
Once we land, it's bottomless champagne breakfast on the same plains where the lions were just hunting, don't worry we have security watching our backs. Once we've cleared all the champagne, we do our morning Safari. The park unbelievably large and there are so many places to explore.
Back at the camp, we prepare for our final game drive, followed by festivities and a themed party!
Last day, best day! We've extended the Masai Mara by one day. Pack your day bag, we're heading for an early morning game drive. After lunch, we're making our way to the airstrip to take a 1 hour domestic flight (Air Kenya) back to Nairobi. This is included in your fee.
Depending on your flight, you can grab our shuttle to the NBO airport or head to the famous Farm to Table restaurant in Nairobi, Cultiva Farms.
We recommend catching a flight after 8pm to give you enough time to get to the airport a few hours early.
Until next time... or until we throw our next party because this friendship just started!

My trip to Kenya with @surfyogabeer was truly a trip of a lifetime, and something I feel beyond lucky to have experienced. I know people say that about every trip they go on, but this really was IT. The land, the people, the animals, the culture…it was beyond comparison, a perfect storm of ingredients bottled up into what can only be described as life changing. It’s been about a month since I returned, and @kenfrancisphotos just dropped these EPIC photos that capture the experience better than any words ever could. Thank you Ken for your skill and special magic that bleeds into each and every shot! Thank you @mantaszvinas for spending three years planning the greatest experience EVER. And thank you to friends new and old who traveled the country with me and made this trip what it was. 🧡
@katiernyc
The trip of a lifetime. If I could sum it up in one word: surreal ❤️ @kenfrancisphotos thank you SO much for all of these photos. Your talent is unreal - it was an experience in and of itself getting to see your dream come to life. @surfyogabeer thank you for making my first trip with you so epic!! I can’t wait for more trips in the future. #sybkenya And to all the new friends I made - thank you for sharing the experience with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew 😭
@noeytink

@cezary_wojcik
It’s been a couple of weeks since I got back from the @surfyogabeer trip to Kenya, but we just got a heap of incredible photos by @KenFrancisPhotos. Lookin’ through ‘em helped me relive many, many rad memories - from drinking champagne in the middle of the Masai Mara reserve after landing there in a hot air balloon and visiting the canyon where Mufasa fell into a stampede…. to jumping contests with the local tribesmen and workout sessions everywhere in between.
@ aubreylauryn
🌅 4AM Wake up call to SAIL the Masai Mara sky in a hot air balloon with some incredible humans is an IMMEDIATE YES ❤️… Will NEVER get over the once in a lifetime experiences of this trip Life really is BEAUTIFUL 🫶🏻
@sara.hoenes
Holding up the rear and taking in the views! One of the many unexpected lessons I learned at #SYBKenya was that life is sweeter when you take it at your own pace, enjoy the ride, and make friends on the way! This was one of my favorite days and the best part was that I decided not to go hard, but to ride slowly and take in every moment. What a ride! Shout out to my gals holding up the back. We did that. @surfyogabeer

Early the next morning, we’re up for a quick workout and breakfast, ready to hit the ground running. First up: the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where we’ll meet baby elephants and maybe even adopt one! Then, it’s lunch and after we head to the Giraffe Centre to hand-feed our long-necked friends. Once we’ve soaked in the city, we’re on our way to Lake Naivasha, where you’ll stay in the coolest hotel ever—with hippos right outside!
Our Lake Naivasha day begins with a peaceful yoga session among grazing zebras and waterbucks, followed by breakfast. Then we’re off to Hell’s Gate National Park for a biking safari! Yes, you read that right—we’re pedaling through the landscapes that inspired scenes from The Lion King.

After a leisurely morning, we’re packing up and making our way to the Masai Mara. Our comfy 4x4s offer the perfect setting for getting-to-know-you games and deep chats. Once we reach our lodge, we’ll visit a Masai Village to meet locals, learn about the culture, and tour the unique crafts at their market.
Rise and shine—today is our full-day game drive! Our 4x4s take us deep into the Masai Mara, where we’ll track wild animals through one of the world’s most stunning landscapes. With zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and crocodiles at the Mara River, it’s a day filled with jaw-dropping sights. A picnic lunch on the plains completes this dreamlike day, so make sure those cameras are ready. We’ll return to the lodge for dinner, a few drinks, and a well-deserved night’s sleep.

Imagine floating over the Masai Mara at sunrise, watching elephants and lions below in complete silence—pure magic. Afterward, a bottomless champagne breakfast awaits, followed by a morning safari.

GETTING THERE
We recommend arriving anytime before 12pm June 19 so you have time to settle into the trip with your new friends! We will meet at either Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and bring you to our hotel. It's a 25 minute drive through the city and you might see zebras on your way out of the airport!
COMING HOME
We will be arriving at Nairobi after 5pm, thus recommend getting a later flight. Keep in mind, you have to be at the airport at least 2 hours early, so don't book anything earlier than 8pm.
INCLUDED DOMESTIC FLIGHT
We’ve included a domestic flight from Keekorok air strip to Nairobi Wilson, arriving on the last day, June 25 at 4:45pm. Please make sure your departure flight is at least 4 hour after this because local Kenyan flight don’t always follow strict schedules.
We're staying at these incredible hotels:
We begin this adventure in Nairobi, so fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).
Nairobi is Kenya's capital city and is unique because, alongside its urban core, Nairobi is home to a game reserve known for breeding endangered back rhinos and home giraffes. Nearby is a world-renowned elephant orphanage!
Hell's Gate National Park lies near Lake Naivasha. Famous for its game drives, it is common to see an abundance of hippopotamus, bird species and other incredible species!
Masai Mara is a national game reserve hosting a large region of protected land along the Tanzanian border. Its animals include lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos.
The Kenyan landscapes leave much to be explored!
We'll be riding in 4x4 land cruisers the whole adventure. They are 7-seaters, our drivers also double as our guides, speak English and have plenty of stories and jokes to tell on our long journeys.
On the last day of the trip, we will be taking a domestic flight from the Masai Mara to Nairobi (1 hr). We take care of the booking and this is included in your fees.
Plan that you won't be doing any washing. We're heading to remote regions of Kenya. Of course a few hotels will provide washing services, but you can definitely count on additional costs if they do have this service.
Yellow Fever Vaccine
This is not required, but highly recommended. Yellow fever is a viral infection that occurs in Africa and South America. Most people begin to develop immunity within ten days of vaccination and 99 percent are protected within one month, and this appears to be lifelong.
Anti Malarial Medication
This is not required, but highly recommended. CDC recommends that travelers going to certain areas of Kenya take prescription medicine to prevent malaria. Depending on the medicine you take, you will need to start taking this medicine multiple days before your trip, as well as during and after your trip. Talk to your doctor about which malaria medication you should take. If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.
REPELLENT
An insect repellent will help protect you from mosquitoes that spread malaria and other diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Yellow fever. You can use an insect repellent on your skin and clothes to keep away (repel) insects. Lemon eucalyptus oil is good one.
Please see and ask your doctor about traveling to Kenya and it's remote regions.
Please do not wait until the last minute, some medicine requires to be taken one week before travel.

If you choose this adventure, we're waking up at 4:30am, going deep into the Masai Mara, launching the balloon just before the sun rises and as we rise above the great plains so does the sun... welcome to the most magical moment of your life.
We will be visiting with permission a local Masai Mara tribe, we've paid them to do this and we make sure the proceeds go directly to the community as a whole. There is also a market they set up just for our visit where we can directly buy their handmade products.
You'll want to wear light clothes for the day and warm layers for the evenings, because morning game drives in open vehicles will be cold! Remember you'll be traveling a lot too, so try to minimize to a few really solid outfits.
If you need some inspiration just google 'safari outfits' and pick up something nice so our photographer can capture your best looks for your grandmother.
After a late night, you may not want to wake up and join us for a workout, but we highly suggest it! Included in your trip, the boot camps and yoga sessions keep us energized - there is nothing better than waking up and sweating with your new friends! Our world-class trip leaders know how to start your day the best way, with a good workout to prime us for a day of adventuring.
This experience is included in trip fees.
Usually we say 'no need to whip out your phone or camera at any point throughout this trip because we have got you covered' but if you've ever wanted to try out photography this is the place of photographic dreams! Otherwise, we will have a professional photographer and videographer joining us on this trip to capture every moment. These will be the best travel photos and videos you will ever get - you're friends better be ready for a photo dump out of their wildest dreams!!
This experience is included in trip fees.
The shilling is the currency of Kenya. However, USD is widely accepted. It is common to bring a Mastercard or Visa as they are commonly accepted in Kenya.
We suggest withdrawing money before coming to Kenya, as ATMs are available, but you may be charged a withdrawal fee.
We suggest bringing $300 to $400 to use at bars and a few of our dinners, as well as a credit card, to be safe, but otherwise, we've got you covered!
Tourist areas of Kenya, where SYB travels, is incredibly safe. However, it is important to note that the US has a travel advisory for the country, which is a blanket warning as areas of the country experience higher levels of crime. However, we will not be going to those places, so these concerns should be noted but do not apply to us.
Still, as a precautionary measure, our accommodations will have safes for us to leave our valuables. We suggest leaving all important items in the safe while exploring - but maybe keep your Yeezys and nice jewelry at home!
This is a wild African adventure! Our accommodations are comfortable and perfectly placed in the heart of the Masai Mara, offering stunning views of the plains and all the untamed beauty Africa has to offer. Of course, being surrounded by nature means you’ll experience it fully—so keep an open mind and embrace the wild!
Expect morning safaris through the open fields, fitness challenges in epic locations, and evening stretch sessions under breathtaking African sunsets. Days are packed with adventure, from visiting the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Centre to exploring Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate National Park, and the vast Masai Mara. Evenings are for group dinners, bonding over drinks, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
You’ll ride through the plains, climb atop open 4x4 cruisers, and soak in every incredible moment—from a lioness playing with her cubs to a parade of elephants grazing just feet away. We’ll mix in boat rides alongside hippos and a few local surprises along the way.
This isn’t your average safari. It’s a chance to explore Africa’s wildest landscapes, connect with an incredible crew, and experience something truly unforgettable. With an open mind and a sense of adventure, you’re set for the trip of a lifetime.
