Day 1

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Pack your belongings and set out for the safari! Our driver will pick you up from your place of accommodation or the airport. Today, you will make your way to the Masai Mara National Reserve. After the morning drive, you will arrive at camp in time for a delicious lunch and some free time. Later in the afternoon, you will depart for your first game drive.

The Masai Mara National Reserve has vast acacia-dotted plains, ox-bow lakes and spectacular escarpments. This is where the movie "Out of Africa" was filmed. The animals are the stars of the show, providing drama and intrigue against a backdrop of spectacular scenery. You might notice a Maasai moran standing on one foot, herding hundreds of cows or shepherding goats and sheep while holding a single stick or a spear.

In the evening, relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset at the camp. Later on, you'll enjoy a delicious dinner at the camp.

In addition to flamingos, the lake draws more than 450 species of birds. There are no elephants in the park, but the other members of the Big Five can be spotted, including tree-climbing lions. Animals that thrive in the dry land surrounding the lake such as Rothschild's giraffes, Cape buffaloes, waterbucks, gazelles, leopards and primates can also be spotted.

Day 4

Lake Nakuru National Park to Amboseli National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park to Amboseli National Park

After breakfast, we will depart by road and return to Nairobi. We'll then proceed through Kamba and Maasai land dotted with circular houses and a few shopping centers en route to Amboseli National Park. The park is situated at the foot of the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. You will arrive at the camp in time for lunch and enjoy a few leisure hours. You'll then depart for an afternoon game drive.

The park has large herds of wildebeest, zebra, elephant, giraffe, lion, and a variety of other animals and birds. These animals are attracted to this park due to its permanent water supply from Mount Kilimanjaro’s melting snow. The elephant population in Amboseli is one of the few that have been able to live undisturbed. Amboseli's elephant families have been studied by world-renowned researcher Cynthia Moss.

You will be served dinner at the camp.

You will enjoy morning and afternoon game drives. You'll also have a chance to meet the Maasai people during your stay in Amboseli. They are tall and proud nomadic warriors. Their legendary prowess in battle and single-handed acts of bravery in fights with wild animals have spread across the world. Their diet is simple, consisting mainly of meat, milk, and the blood of cattle mixed with milk. A visit to their village reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a memorable experience.
