At 07h00, your driver-guide will pick you up from your Nairobi area hotel, Nairobi airport, or Nairobi area residence. We’ll head out in our private 4x4 Jeep for Amboseli National Park on the Nairobi/Mombasa highway. Our drive will take us through Maasai country and toward the guiding iconic form of Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. We should arrive at Amboseli in the late morning with plenty of time to freshen up and enjoy lunch at your accommodation.
Then, we’re off in our private 4x4 to track wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, gazelle, and lion. We won’t need to track elephants as the park always offers ample herds for viewing.
With Kilimanjaro standing watch over the reserve like a giant picture postcard, you’ll love taking photos in this busy and scenic park.

After our relatively short drive, we’ll arrive at Lake Naivasha for lunch and check-in. We will transition from jeep to boat for a safari across the lake in the afternoon. On the water, we’ll glide past curious hippos and exotic fish and have a chance to take in the entire avian life, such as cormorants and pelicans.

We will traverse the Masai Mara Reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game.

The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wild game species make it a one-stop shop for game-viewing activities.
