Amboseli National Park

You'll have an early breakfast at the lodge. After breakfast, you will embark on a full-day game drive at Amboseli National Park with a packed lunch in the car.

Amboseli National Park is dominated by the large herds of African elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and flamingoes at Lake Amboseli, which is slowly forming in the park. Predators, such as the cat family, are not guaranteed to be spotted in this park, such as lions and cheetahs. If you spot them, it will only be briefly before they vanish. Enjoy all of this with Mount Kilimanjaro's snowcaps in the background.

Day 3

Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha

Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha

After an early breakfast at the camp, we depart for Lake Naivasha via Nairobi. We drive via the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for a leisurely stopover.

Later, we arrive at Lake Naivasha, check in, and have lunch at the lodge.

At 1,910m (6,200ft) above sea level, the water is fresh, and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptians once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, and herons hide in it while searching for food. The area is famous for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favorite destination for weekend retreats. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them due to the high altitude, but there are several hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry.

In the afternoon, proceed for an optional boat ride experience. We can arrange a trip to Crescent Island at an extra cost.

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast at the camp, we will depart for the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is considered one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives relatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Masai Mara National Reserve hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attentive predators.

We will arrive at the lodge or camp for check-in and enjoy lunch. Then, later in the afternoon, we will proceed to another game-viewing drive in the reserve.

Our dinner and overnight stay are at camp.
