Nairobi to Maasai Mara

Close your eyes and call to mind the African savannah, where a leopard races through golden grasses that dance in the wind. Envision a smiling woman, bedecked in a kaleidoscope of beads and fabrics.

You are there here, in the Africa of postcards and of dreams – in the reality of the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Day 4

Maasai Mara to Lake Nakuru National Park

Maasai Mara to Lake Nakuru National Park

When you first catch sight of Lake Nakuru, your brain won't register what your eyes are seeing. Is the lake rimmed with pink-sand beach? But no, sands don't move. Are those fallen cherry blossoms, dancing in the breeze? They can't be. As we get closer, the mystery is revealed: Lake Nakuru's rosy shores are populated by thousands of flamingos, packed so thick their salmon down creates the optical illusion of a pink-fringed lake.

Day 5

Lake Nakuru - Aberdares National Park

Lake Nakuru - Aberdares National Park

Your first glimpse of Aberdares National Park stuns the senses the majestic scenery soars and dips over the landscape, skimming sky-high mountaintops before plunging into verdant valleys. Open plains charge into dense forest, diving under ribbon-thin waterfalls, weaving through dense rainforest, flying over moorland, and whispering a song through the bamboo forests.
Aberdares is a study in biodiversity and natural beauty, and the perfect place to slow our pace. Instead of an afternoon game drive, we settle in for an afternoon of game viewing and our hotel's incredible watering hole, where elephants, antelopes, and other familiar friends gather just outside your window.

Day 6

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park

Two game drives take us into the wilds of Amboseli. The park is well known for the vast elephant herds that saunter these plains, seemingly unaware that here, in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, they are not the biggest game in town. Ferocious lions, motionless on their elevated perches, survey their kingdom. African buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, black rhinos and cheetah share the savannah. There's no question why photographers consider Amboseli to be one of Kenya's most photogenic destinations.

Day 7

Amboseli To Arusha

Amboseli To Arusha

When the pink-tinged shores of Lake Manyara appear out the window, you already know: flamingos! As at Lake Nakuru, the birds crowd the lake's shores and create the illusion of pink, pink everywhere. Except when there is grey – the grey of hippos, which jockey for space amidst thousands of salmon-coloured flamingos, pelicans and other waterfowl. This scenic park is also home to giraffes, zebras, and rare tree-climbing lions.

Day 8

Arusha to Lake Manyara

Arusha to Lake Manyara

Your breath comes fast; your hands clutch the seat. Your heart beats double-time. It is not a bumpy ride or perilous journey that has your adrenaline pumping, but the sights and sounds outside your window: the reverberating footfalls of a bush elephant that passes just feet from our van; the mother giraffe that nudges her new-born calf toward sustenance; or that king lion, his mane a furry crown, that races over the savannah to chase down his next meal. Welcome to the mighty Serengeti and your first game drive in Tanzania.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Manyara to Serengeti National Park

Manyara to Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park, in northern Tanzania, is known for its massive annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. Seeking new pasture, the herds move north from their breeding grounds in the grassy southern plains. Many cross the marshy western corridor’s crocodile-infested Grumeti River. Others veer northeast to the Lobo Hills, home to black eagles. Black rhinos inhabit the granite outcrops of the Moru Kopjes.

Here, famed British archaeologist Dr. Louis Leakey discovered the remains of Homo habilis, or handyman, widely considered to be the first human ancestor.

Afterwards head to the Ngorongoro rim for overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu

Our picnic lunch perches a top Ngorongoro Crater, where a barren volcanic crater spills into rolling green foothills, their emerald carpet abutting blue-tinged mountains in the distance. Ngorongoro Conservation Area hosts this breath-taking sight, and that's not all: Africa's Garden of Eden is also home to almost every animal species in East Africa, making Ngorongoro the exhilarating subject of today's game drive.
