Drive to Lake Nakuru National Park

Leave Amboseli after breakfast and travel north toward Lake Nakuru National Park, with comfort stops along the way. This is a substantial road-transfer day, so the schedule is planned around safe driving and arrival time rather than promising a full game drive.

Spend a full day exploring the Masai Mara with your private guide. Search the grasslands and riverine woodland for elephants, giraffes, buffalo, lions, cheetahs and other wildlife.

A picnic lunch allows more time in the reserve before you return to Mara Simba Lodge for dinner and a second night.

Full-day game drives in central Serengeti

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the central Serengeti, a year-round wildlife area shaped by open savannah, rocky kopjes and seasonal water.

Serengeti wildlife viewing

Spend another day in the Serengeti, giving you time to explore different sections of the central plains and follow wildlife at a comfortable pace. Your guide will look for fresh tracks and recent sightings, with opportunities to watch resident wildlife and, depending on the season, migration herds. The Great Migration moves throughout the year and sightings are never guaranteed. Enjoy a picnic lunch during the drive, then return to Enkirari Wilderness Camp for your final Serengeti night.
