Day 1

Nairobi- Tsavo West National Park

Nairobi- Tsavo West National Park

You will have a morning departure from Nairobi, preferably around 8:00 am to make the most of the day in Tsavo West National Park. You will arrive in time for lunch and an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in the Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions apart from its wildlife. The foremost is the famous Mzima Springs, where up to 227.3 million liters of cool, crystal-clear water flows out of the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The water is believed to originate from Chyulu Hills via an underground river. Here, you will also meet the vast red-dust elephants, among other wildlife species such as lions, giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. Your dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Tsavo West National Park Game Drive

Tsavo West National Park Game Drive

After breakfast, you will have a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. One noteworthy place you will visit today is Roaring Rocks, which gets its name from the sound of the lions roaring when they are in the area. The views over Tsavo from the top of the 98m rock face are beautiful. You can expect similar views from Poacher's Lookout, a hill in the center of the park. You can also visit (and climb) the Chaimu Crater Viewpoint, a volcano less than 200 years old and composed of black coke. This area is an excellent place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that is as agile as its Swahili name refers to mbuzi mawe or mountain goat. In the southwest corner of Tsavo West National Park is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 8

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drive

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drive

The Masai Mara is Kenya's finest wildlife sanctuary; everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grassland ensures that animals are never out of sight. Birds too are prolific, including migrant birds and 53 bird of prey species. The wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries and an even larger area, generally referred to as the 'dispersal area', extends north and east of the game reserve. The first sight of this park is breathtaking. Here the great herds of shuffling elephants browse among the rich tree-studded grasslands with an occasional sighting of a solitary and ill-tempered rhino. Thousands of plains herbivores such as Thompson's and Grant's gazelles and elands offer a rich choice of food for the dominant predators: lions, leopards, and cheetahs all hunt in this pristine wilderness. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.
