Nairobi/Masai Mara National Reserve

Depart early in the morning for the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the few places on earth where wildlife still thrives in relatively undisturbed numbers, reminiscent of Africa’s past. As the northern extension of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara is famous for the spectacular seasonal migration of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and their accompanying predators. Arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive.

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife, and is one of the few places where it is possible to spot the Big Five in a single morning drive. Some cheetahs are so accustomed to vehicles that they rest in their shade during the heat of the day, while others may even climb onto the roof for a better view of potential prey. For bird enthusiasts, nearly 500 species have been recorded, including 16 species of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four species of bustards—including the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird—and nine species of sunbirds.

Masai Mara to Lake Naivasha National Park

Depart early in the morning for Lake Naivasha, the highest and one of the most beautiful lakes in the Rift Valley. Situated at 1,910 metres (6,200 feet), its freshwater is surrounded by dense papyrus reeds once used by ancient Egyptians to make paper. Kingfishers perch along the papyrus while herons hide within it as they search for food. Lake Naivasha is a popular birdwatching destination, with over 400 recorded species, and is also a favourite weekend getaway for Nairobi residents who enjoy sailing, water skiing, and fishing. Due to its high altitude and cooler waters, the lake has no crocodiles, but it is home to a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards contribute to Kenya’s growing wine industry.

Lake Naivasha to Amboseli National Park

Begin with an early morning drive to Amboseli National Park, arriving in time to check in at your accommodation and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, head out for a game drive. Located south of Nairobi, Amboseli is characterized by a dry, ancient lakebed and fragile grasslands, interspersed with patches of acacia woodland. The southern part of the park features small rocky volcanic hills, while the swamps of Ol Kenya, Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok support lush vegetation, including yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms.

After breakfast, you may opt to visit a Maasai village, where traditional singing and dancing form an important part of daily life and cultural rituals, along with insights into their homes and social structure—an enriching experience. Despite environmental changes, Amboseli National Park remains one of the best places in Africa to observe elephants at close range. Protected from poaching, herds feeding and bathing in the swamps are often the highlight of any safari.
