Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

You will be met by our representative at the hotel and after a short tour briefing, transfer to Amboseli National Park, famous for its big game - elephants, lions and cheetahs are the main attractions - and for its great scenery beauty. Amboseli embodies five main wildlife habitats, plus a generally dry lake-bed - Lake Amboseli. These are open plains; extensive stands of yellow-barked acacia woodland; rocky, lava strewn thorn-bush country; swamps and marshes; and at the western end of the reserve, above Namanga, the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok rising to over 2,760m (8.300ft) and still for the most part zoologically unexplored. Enjoy your afternoon game drive at Amboseli National ark. Dinner & overnight at the lodge.

Amboseli to Lake Naivasha

Depart after your morning breakfast for Lake Naivasha. After lunch proceed to Lake Naivasha and go visit the Crescent Island Game Sanctuary - a peninsula or 'island' on the eastern side of Lake Naivasha. At the island, the guests will walk with the animals living in the sanctuary. After the walk, the guests will be taken out for a boat ride. During the ride, the guests will be taken to visit the many Hippos living in Lake Naivasha. Lake Naivasha is also an excellent place for bird-watching, with over 200+ species of birds, such as fish eagles, ospreys, lily-trotters, black crakes and a variety of herons. After the boat ride, the guests will return back at the resort for dinner & overnight.

Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve

Depart after breakfast for Masai Mara Game Reserve. Wherever you go in the Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos also exist in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but are still reasonably common. The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus in July, August and September when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October. Dinner and overnight at the Lodge/Camp.
