Day 2
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
Rising early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit with packed lunch provided, an optional visit to a Masai village can be planned at extra cost. 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 the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Less harassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps will form the highlights of any safari. Capture the magical sunset over the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Return to the lodge for dinner and a relaxed evening. Guests can share safari stories by the fireplace or enjoy the lodge’s serene atmosphere before retiring for the night.

Day 3
Amboseli National Park- Lake Naivasha National Park
Amboseli National Park- Lake Naivasha National Park
An early morning drive to Lake Naivasha, it is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rif Valley lakes. At 1910m (6200f), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptian once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch; herons hide in it while searching for food. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400species 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 lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry. Enjoy a guided exploration of the park, marveling at its towering cliffs, geothermal activity, and abundant wildlife. For the adventurous, cycling through the park is an unforgettable experience. Head back to your hotel for dinner and night rest.

Day 6
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive.
Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. In Masai Mara, I highly recommend visiting a Maasai Village and taking a hot air balloon ride (at an additional cost). These experiences will provide unforgettable moments, enhancing your safari adventure.
