Game Drive Maasai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The Masai Mara is renowned for its iconic black-manned lions and abundant resident wildlife, making it one of the few places where you can see the Big Five in just one morning's game drive. The cheetahs here are so accustomed to humans that they often seek shelter from the sun under vehicles, and some even climb onto the roof to get a better view of potential prey. For bird enthusiasts, the Mara is a paradise with nearly 500 species recorded, including 16 species of eagles, hawks, and falcons, 6 types of vultures, 8 species of storks, and the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird. With such diverse wildlife and breath-taking scenery, this day promises to be an unforgettable adventure.

Masai Mara National Reserve - Lake Naivasha by Road (216 km 3-4 hrs drive)

After an early morning drive, arrive at Lake Naivasha, the highest and one of the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes, situated at 1,910 meters (6,200 feet) above sea level. The fresh waters of the lake are bordered by dense clumps of papyrus, once used by ancient Egyptians to make paper. Kingfishers perch on the papyrus, while herons hide in it as they search for food. Lake Naivasha is a haven for bird watchers, with over 400 species recorded. It is also a popular weekend getaway for Nairobi residents, who come to sail, water-ski, and fish. Though the lake's chilly waters prevent crocodiles from inhabiting it, hippos thrive here. Along the shores, vineyards produce grapes for Kenya's growing wine industry. After a day of exploration, enjoy dinner and overnight at a nearby campsite or lodge.

Begin your adventure with an early morning departure as you drive toward the stunning Amboseli National Park. After checking into your accommodation, enjoy a delightful lunch before heading out for an exciting afternoon game drive.

Located to the south of Nairobi, Amboseli National Park is renowned for its diverse landscapes. Much of the park consists of an ancient, dry lake bed and delicate grasslands, interspersed with acacia woodlands. In the southern reaches, you'll find small, rocky volcanic hills that add to the park's dramatic scenery.
