Day 1: Nairobi (Arrival)

Location: Nairobi

Accommodation Name: Nairobi Serena Hotel

Welcome to Nairobi! Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure to explore this fascinating city. Nairobi is not only deemed the wildlife capital of the world, but it is one of the fastest-growing metropolises in all of Africa. You can see lions, zebras, and giraffes in the city as it is filled with national parks and wildlife reserves that are waiting to be explored. Or, in the case of an early morning arrival, you may join any of our optional tours. You will spend the night in the 5-star Nairobi Serena Hotel, regularly voted the “Best Hotel in Nairobi” by international travel magazines and airlines.

Day 2: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve (B/L/D)

Location: Masai Mara National Reserve

Accommodation Name: Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After a delicious breakfast, you will depart Nairobi and make your way towards the Masai Mara. This is one of the best places in the world to see The Great Migration take place, as millions of animals make their way from Tanzania to Kenya every year in search of food and water as the seasons start to change. Spend the day driving down the long road, passing by acres of wheat and barley to this legendary national reserve which is teeming with wildlife. You will arrive just in time for lunch — after which you will set off for your first official game drive. See how a whole host of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River as you fend off crocodiles in the process. This will be a phenomenal experience you must not miss — especially during the peak season! After your game drive, you will return to your lodge as the sun sets over the sky. Spend the next couple of nights in the Mara Serena Safari Lodge, situated in the heart of the Mara Triangle. Take in the incredible views of the savannah from your safari lodge which sits high on a bush-cloaked hill as you sip on some fresh fruit juice, refreshing cocktails, fine wines, strong spirits, or tasty liqueurs.

Day 3: Masai Mara National Reserve (B/L/D)

Location: Masai Mara National Reserve

Accommodation Name: Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Following an early morning breakfast, head out for an exhilarating game drive. Spend the first part of your day searching for some of Africas greatest predators, where lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalos, elephants, wildebeests, impalas, and many more fascinating creatures can be found roaming around the lands. After this incredible experience, you will return to your camp in the mid-morning. Top the morning off by fueling up with a delicious “Bush Breakfast” by the Mara River Hippo Pools. Say “Jambo” (hello) to the chefs and Masai warriors as they welcome you to a wonderful breakfast buffet of cold cuts, fruits, cereals, and hot dishes with eggs made to your specifications. The hippos will keep you company and only say “Kwaheri” (goodbye) after you have had enough. After a delicious lunch (and perhaps a siesta), set out for another game drive and visit the Masai Village, where you will get the opportunity to learn about the local tribes and the traditional ways of life. Return to your beautiful lodge later on as the sunsets.

Leaving the Masai Mara after breakfast, you will travel across the ‘breadbasket of Kenya, where acres of wheat and barley are scattered across the land as you make your way up north to Narok — the district headquarters of this part of Maasailand. Drive across the vast plains of the floor of the Rift Valley, keeping an eye out for herds of giraffes and gazelles as you head up the Mai-Mahiu. You will arrive at your destination around midday. Once you are in the park, view the game en route to the lodge. Following lunch, you will set out for an exhilarating game drive, before you return to your lodge as the sunsets. The National Park, known for its abundance of birdlife, offers a wonderful possibility to see flocks of flamingos as thousands or millions of them reside in the area. The Park is also home to Black and White Rhinos as well as the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. You will spend the night in the extravagant Elementaita Serena Camp, situated on the shores of the sapphire-blue lake, where you will find a fascinating mix of modern luxury and aristocratic elegance.

Make your way south towards Amboseli, where you will arrive at the lodge by late afternoon. Amboseli National Park is famous for its incredible shots of elephants and other animals nurturing one another in the foreground while the dramatic peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, rises in the background. This landscape is a photographer's dream — and it will be all yours to take in!

Thanks to Indus and Nicko...

13-Sep-2024

Thanks to Indus and Nicko Cruise for a great trip down the Danube. I had not been on a river cruise prior to this and found it a very relaxing way to travel and see some European highlights. The ship was superb. The staff served great meals, were friendly and accommodating. As far as the tours and city visits, they all gave us a reasonable amount of time and insight into the location we were visiting to come away with a sense that we had a good glimpse of the city and were able to spend some free time in the city as well. A special thanks to Dhruv our fearless leader from Indus who was a great organizer. Lastly - nice to meet all of you in our group. terry

07-Dec-2023

Booked Mystical Egypt tour with them visiting Cairo and a 03 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan in May. All services were perfect since the time we arrived at the airport, we were met by a hospitable Indus Representative who helped us with the purchase of local SIM and currency exchange. He was always there in time to assist for transfers. The Amwaj Cruise which we took from Luxor to Aswan was a Gem. We had great guides and all sightseeing worked like a clockwork. We enjoyed visiting Karnak Temples, Temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and the boat ride to see Phillae Temple. Evening entertainment on cruise were great and engaging. In Cairo and Aswan, we had ample leisure time to explore on own, the Pyramids were impressive and visiting Khan e Khalili was fun. Overall and impressive and enjoyable tour, Thanks to Indus Travels!

09-Jun-2023

Recently went on a Rhine River Cruise, a first for me. I must say the experience was exceptional, their tagline says. The group I was with were some of the most fun and interesting set of people I've ever traveled with. The ground transportation arrangements were top notch and comfortable. Variety in menu that we were provided with in the cruise was astounding. I was a bit worried if they'd have much options for me as I'm a vegetarian. But they not only had options, the taste was something I'd savor for foreseeable future. There's a reason Rhine cruises are popular owing to it's serene and picturesque route. Guided tours were very informative and gave us a bit of an insight of German culture. We had good amount of time to explore the towns on our own too. Strasbourg and Cochem were my favorite stops. Luckily the weather worked in our favour and it didn't rain the way it was predicted originally. No one from our group wanted the tour to end. If this trip was any indication, I can't wait to book my next trip with Indus Travels.

04-Mar-2024

Indus Travel runs a highly professional organization. From customer service to brochures, bookings, tour guides, etc. and the consideration for their customers is superb. This was the first time I had travelled with Indus Travels. We took the Taste of Portugal Tour. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging, and entertaining. This company is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational vacation with fine food - they will deliver! We will never forget this trip and we are already planning for another one to Wonders of Italy, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

We were looking for a customized, small group tour. We took a chance on Indus without knowing much about the company. We just returned from our trip to Greece and are more than highly please and satisfied with our experience. They planned an amazing itinerary, booked amazing hotels, hired knowledgeable tour guides and arranged high quality transportation services. Everyone went above and beyond to please us. We are already planning a trip for next year (2024) and will definitely use Indus to do so.
