Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

Go on an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It is one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch, and then have an afternoon game drive.

Main Destination:

Masai Mara National Reserve

Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and August to October (For wildebeest migration)

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so used to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them. Several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded, including 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru National Park

Have an early morning pick up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the Rift Valley's most famous Lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times, there may be almost 2 million flamingoes in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep-pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch, and then have an afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha

In the early morning, you will drive to Lake Naivasha, the highest and the most beautiful of the Rif Valley lakes. At 1,910m (6,200ft), 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. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them due to altitude, but there are a number of hippos. Along the lake shore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledging wine industry.

Lake Naivasha - Amboseli National Park

Have an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park. Check in at your accommodation and spend the day at leisure.

Amboseli National Park is situated south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area, there are many small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps of Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms.

Amboseli National Park

Rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. A packed lunch will be provided, and an optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit reveals 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 possibly the best wildlife area in Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari.

Amboseli - Tsavo West National Park

We depart by road for Tsavo West National Park. We arrive in time for lunch, then go on an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section of Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions besides 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 Chuyulu Hills via an underground river.

Tsavo West National Park

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. Other interesting places to visit are the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them. From here, there are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be experienced from the Poacher's Lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater, less than 200 years old and composed of black coke, is worth visiting and can be climbed if interested. The area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope as agile as its Swahili name, mbuzi mawe (mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, with the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it.
