Proceed for a short game drive, which allows you to see lion, cheetah, giraffe, elephant, and many other animals. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, provides a beautiful backdrop. Dinner and overnight are at the camp.

Amboseli National Park, the second-most visited park in Kenya after the Masai Mara, is known for its spectacular herds of elephants and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, just across the border in Tanzania. Large herds of tusked elephants roam the plains in the morning and evening, but you will also see hippo, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hyena, and the occasional lion and wild dog.

Lake Nakuru National Park - Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, you will drive to Masai Mara through Lake Nakuru National Park for a morning game drive. This is the best park for spotting flamingos. We also have other special animals like rhinos and giraffes.

A Masai Mara safari is an unmissable highlight of any holiday in Kenya. There are breathtaking panoramas in every direction, a vast range of wildlife, including the Big Five, and a rich cultural heritage to explore. Kenya’s Masai Mara is undoubtedly one of Africa's most incredible safari destinations.

Between July and October, the Great Rift Valley gets busy. Millions of zebras and wildebeest cross the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory, and in their wake comes a veritable horde of predators, including lions and leopards.

You will arrive on time for lunch at the camp.

At 16h30, you will be picked up by the Maasai warriors to visit the remaining famous Maasai villages. Later, return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
