🚨 IMPORTANT: ACTUAL DATES ARE AUG 28 - AUG 31! 🚨 Due to website system restrictions, I had to set the dates for September. Looking for awesome travel buddies to join an intensive, action-packed 4-day Safari adventure in Kenya! We will rent a car, drive ourselves, and experience the best wildlife spots. Here is our epic itinerary: • Day 1 (Aug 28, Friday): Meeting in Nairobi & Lake Naivasha. We'll pick up our rental car and hit the road around 7:00 AM. In the afternoon, we’ll do a relaxing boat ride on Lake Naivasha and a unique walking safari on Crescent Island among giraffes and zebras. • Day 2 (Aug 29, Saturday): Hell's Gate to Amboseli Sunset. We enter Hell's Gate right at 6:00 AM to explore the cliffs (we can rent bicycles!). By 10:30 AM, we start the drive to Amboseli. We'll arrive around 4:00 PM, buy our 24-hour park tickets, and enjoy an epic sunset game drive. Before the gates close at 6:15 PM, we’ll head to our camp just outside the park. • Day 3 (Aug 30, Sunday): Full Day in Amboseli. We wake up early to enter the park right at 6:00 AM for a magical sunrise drive using our 24-hour ticket. Expect unobstructed views of Mount Kilimanjaro and huge elephant herds. We'll maximize our time inside the park before spending another night at the camp outside. • Day 4 (Aug 31, Monday): Nairobi National Park & Departure. An early morning drive back to Nairobi. We’ll visit Nairobi National Park to catch lions and rhinos with city skyscrapers in the background! We'll drop off the car in the evening, concluding our epic journey.
Hi, I'm Leo! I'm 24 and I absolutely love active travel. I'm very independent and responsible, so I always come with a solid, well-thought-out plan. I hate wasting time. Waking up at 2 AM to catch a sunrise or hitting a national park right at 6 AM is 100% my vibe. I prefer active trips, love hiking, speak 3 languages fluently & am always down to make true friends along the way. What I expect from this trip & my future travel buddies: • Budget-Friendly & Fair Share: This is a low-budget, DIY adventure. I am NOT doing this to make a profit. We will simply split the actual costs of the rental car, fuel, accommodation (+park entrance fees, included in the price) equally among everyone. • Energy & Good Vibes: This is going to be an intense, action-packed road trip, so I’m looking for energetic, open-minded people who are excited to wake up early and explore. • Collaboration: Since we are renting a car and driving ourselves, teamwork is key! It would be awesome if someone else can also drive, but it's not a dealbreaker. • Shared Memories: I want us to not just share a car, but to become a real crew, cook together at the camps, and create unforgettable memories.
We will be staying in budget-friendly, highly rated, and authentic accommodations to keep the trip cost-efficient but comfortable: • Night 1 (Lake Naivasha): A cozy local lodge or a well-equipped campsite/guesthouse near the lake for our group of 4-5 people. • Nights 2 & 3 (Amboseli): We will stay at a budget tented camp or campsite located just outside the national park gates. Don't worry, these places have proper shared/private showers to wash off the safari dust, electricity to charge all your devices/cameras, and great vibes for our evening hangouts! Everything will be booked in advance so we can stay together as a crew. If you're looking for an authentic safari without the luxury price tag, this adventure is for you. We'll experience breathtaking wildlife, spectacular landscapes, unforgettable sunrises, and the thrill of exploring Kenya together as a small team. If you're open-minded, adventurous, and ready for an action-packed few days, I'd love to share this journey with you. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I can't wait to explore Kenya together!! 🌍🦁
