You'll have lunch at our camp and relax before departing for the afternoon drive. Other animals in the park include Maasai giraffes, buffalos, elands, and thousands of plain game including impalas, zebras, topis, and both Thompsons and Grant gazelles.

Day 2

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

You’ll be up early to enjoy the awakening day and the birdsong on the great reserve. This is a day of unlimited game drives so get ready to check off the animals on your “to see” list.

The Masai Mara features the greatest density of wildlife in this region of Africa and you’re right in the middle of the action.

Should you be here during the great migration (July – October) you’ll be witness to the sight of thousands of gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest streaming over the Mara River in search of sustenance.

You’ll visit the river and enjoy a picnic lunch, checking out the hippos, crocodiles and other wildlife action played out before you.

If you wish, you can take an optional visit to the local Maasai people in their village. You’ll learn about their customs and herding lifestyle, and perhaps pick up some of their beaded handiwork.

Masai Mara - Amboseli National Park

You’ll be up before the birds on an early morning departure to Amboseli National Park.

Traveling past fields and farmland, you’ll make stops along the way to appreciate Kenya’s natural scenery.

You’ll also take a lunch break to stretch and relax.

Arriving at Amboseli National Park in the afternoon, there will be time for a game drive and to get acquainted with the reserve.

At the park’s southern boundary stands the towering form of Mt. Kilimanjaro, a constant presence looking over the rich variety of wildlife all about in this smaller park.

Toward evening the mountain’s snow-capped peak may be revealed as the high-altitude cloud cover can burn off, leaving you with a perfect vista of one of Africa’s most inspirational sites.

Day 4

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park

The day will be filled with game drives and relaxation time as well. Just tell your driver-guide how much you’d like of each.

But you’ll be up early for a pre-breakfast safari through the park as the elephant families march to their favorite watering holes.

You’ll travel by Jeep to our favorite watering hole — your lodge or tented camp for a hearty, safari breakfast. Then you’ll fill out the morning on another relaxed game drive.

The foliage is sparse at Amboseli which makes for easier game spotting.

You’ll have an easy lunch and plan your afternoon. Your driver-guide is an expert and can discuss the different regions of the park to explore, such as its marshes, lakes, or woodlands.

Toward evening, look for another wonderful African sunset and maybe the clear, snowy summit of Kilimanjaro. Have your camera ready!
