Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Take an early-morning drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve. It remains one of the few places 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 wildebeest and zebra, along with attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight stay will be at your camp/lodge.

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 Full Experience

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned 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 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. These include 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru

Have an early morning pick-up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. South of Bogoria, across the equator, lies the Rift Valley's most famous lake, Lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as 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 the reserve, forming a stunningly beautiful deep-pink band around the edge of the lake shore. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru to Amboseli

Have an early 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 lakebed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there are a number of 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 is provided. An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast, revealing 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 for experiencing elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari.

Amboseli to Tsavo West

We depart by road for Tsavo West National Park. 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 beyond 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 the Chyulu Hills, via an underground river.
