You will be taken on two game drives today—in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals as this is when they are most active. These times of day also provide some of the most dramatic photography thanks to the beautiful lighting. If you are fortunate enough, you will spot some lions and get to watch some of the social interaction between pride members—especially the lion clubs playing under the watchful eyes of their mothers. The reserve is also famous for the wildebeest migration. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.

Day 4
Lake Nakuru- Lake Naivasha National Park
Lake Nakuru- Lake Naivasha National Park
Today we’ll go on an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha, which is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. At 1910m (6200f), the water is fresh and fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (which ancient Egyptians once used to make paper). There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them (due to the altitude), but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry. An optional boat ride can be organized at an extra cost.
You will also visit Crescent Island. This is a private island on Lake Naivasha that rose to fame after the 1985 movie “Out of Africa” was released. The film showcased the beautiful nature of Lake Naivasha and its surroundings. It can be described as a garden, an animal sanctuary, or simply a little paradise.

Today we’ll go on an early morning drive to Amboseli National Park. You’ll check in at your accommodations and have lunch before embarking on an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lakebed, and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland. In the southern area, there are a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow barked acacias and phoenix palms. The park is known as the best place to view large herds of elephants up close. There is also an incredible view of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is across the border of Kenya and Tanzania. Lake Amboseli is dry outside the rainy season but dominates the landscape otherwise. There are more than 600 species of birds in the park. You will spend your night at the lodge.

Full Day In Amboseli National Park
Full Day In Amboseli National Park
You'll rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast (cost not included). The visit will showcase the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is probably still the best wildlife area in Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left carefree, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
