This park, located on the Tanzanian border, is considered the best place to see wild elephants in Africa. The afternoon game drive will show you all these wonders and more. It will be hard to tear yourself away from the park, but it will be well worth it to stay in the Amboseli Sopa Lodge, nestled within 200 acres of private land, just outside Amboseli National Park, offering guests breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. The lodge is designed with a distinct African theme, blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings.

Amboseli National Park
You will enjoy your second day at Amboseli National Park as the morning and afternoon game drives offer completely different experiences. The park is home to more than 400 bird species, as well as wildebeests, zebras, white rhinos and other wildlife - there's no telling what you will see. Every hour of the day and every season of the year is different, meaning every game drive differs. Be sure to have your cameras ready for stunning photos and videos in the morning and afternoon.
At midday, when the heat drives all of East Africa into the shade, you can lounge in the pool, take a siesta in your comfortable room or meet fellow travelers for a refreshing drink at the bar. An optional visit to a tribal village or a walking safari is available.

This is also an excellent place to see gazelles, leopards, impalas and hippos. You will encounter many of them as you explore the Malaika Waterfall, the beautiful Lake Nakuru and the surrounding forests.

Day 5
Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara
Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara
You should ensure you have a hearty breakfast today because afterwards, you will enter the Masai Mara National Reserve for an absolutely ideal African safari adventure! Here, see the grasslands, wildlife and adventure that Westerners have come to associate with a safari. During the afternoon game drive, you will see jackals, lions, wildebeests, zebras and many other species. You will also meet Kenya’s nomadic people, the Maasai, and get an insight into their lives as cattle-herding nomads.
After familiarizing yourself with your lovely tented accommodations set on the bank of the Mara River, take a drive through the famed reserve. Throughout the day, elephants, giraffes, zebras and impalas come for a drink while a large hippo pod rest lazily in the river. The location is spectacular. In between, relax in the outdoor pool with its incredible views or simply wander the beautiful grounds. No matter what time of year you visit, this is the heart of Africa.

Day 6
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
One day at Masai Mara is not nearly enough. You will be glad you have this second day to enjoy this part of Kenya. The morning and afternoon game drives will introduce you to buffalo, hyena, cheetah, antelope and much more. While any time of year is wonderful to visit Africa, those who visit between July and October will see the great migration. This is when zebras, Thomson’s gazelles and wildebeests travel across the Serengeti on a massive migration, which is truly awe-inspiring.
No matter when you visit, you can take a “walking safari” or visit a local tribal village. You will learn about the Maasai way of life and how they have managed to retain their semi-nomadic customs even in today’s modern society when so much of their world is at risk. After all these adventures, you will be more than ready for a midday nap or a swim in the pool to escape the heat of the day.
