Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Depart for Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. The drive is via typical African savannah country dotted with local homesteads and colorful Maasai herdsmen grazing their cattle. Arrive for lunch and venture into the park for the scheduled afternoon game-viewing drive.

You will spot the wild herds of elephants up close and see why it's little wonder that the park is the best place in Africa to spot such herds. It is also home to many other species such as Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, Maasai giraffe, zebra and blue wildebeest, among other African animals. The birdlife is also abundant with both large and small species. If the weather permits, Amboseli National Park offers a beautiful vista of the scenic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, making it a perfect site for photography. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.

Dinner and your overnight stay are at the booked lodge.

Amboseli National Park

On this day, enjoy scheduled game-viewing drives in Amboseli. With its reputation for active elephant sightings, it’s easy to spot them roaming the plains in the morning and evening. You can observe them splashing and foraging in Ol Okenya Swamp for much of the day. We will also stop at Observation Hill for the sprawling, breathtaking view of Amboseli.

Amboseli - Lake Naivasha

Have an early breakfast, check out, and proceed to Naivasha, arriving for lunch. Time permitting, you will have a brief stop at the scenic Great Rift Valley viewpoint. The Rift Valley stretches from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in Southeast Africa. It’s a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 6,800 kilometers (4,300 miles) in total length, and much of it is found in Kenya, where it has cut the country in two.

Lake Naivasha's shores host abundant birdlife, including pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles. There are more animals per acre than in any other Kenyan park, so many film companies have visited the island to film the herds of wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, and gazelle.

In the afternoon, go on an optional visit by boat to a hidden animal sanctuary which is surrounded by water ($50 per person).

Dinner and your overnight stay are at the booked lodge.

Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast, we'll depart for Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes at an elevation of 1,754 meters (5,755 feet) above sea level. The park is about 188 square kilometers and is ideal for bird watching and wildlife viewing. It’s also a sanctuary for black and white rhinos.

Lake Nakuru National Park also hosts the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, which was introduced to the park in 1977. Luckily, these animals have become accustomed to the vegetation type in Lake Nakuru National Park and have slowly become an indigenous park species. The lake's abundance of blue-green algae used to attract a vast quantity of flamingos that famously lined the shore.

We will arrive in good time for lunch. Later, we will proceed for an afternoon game-viewing drive. Afterward, we will return to the booked lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

After an early breakfast, we will proceed to Masai Mara National Reserve, arriving in time for lunch. The reserve is located in Southwest Kenya, with a vast scenic expanse of gently rolling African savannah plains measuring approximately 1,510 square kilometers and bordering Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south. It's famous for its spectacular natural diversity of wildlife. This premier Kenya safari location in East Africa offers visitors many reasons to visit this animal paradise.

Large numbers of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, African buffalos, wildebeests, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, and many more animals are found in the park in their natural habitat. They are unconfined and free to roam the vast wilderness stretching for miles on end.

We will have an afternoon game drive and later return to the booked camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
