Day 1

Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park

Mombasa - Tsavo East National Park

Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel at 6:30am in the early morning. We then start off together to Tsavo East National Park, where we arrive in time for a spectacular morning game drive with chances to spot Red Elephants, Lions, Buffaloes, Hippos, Giraffes, Gazelles, Waterbucks, Leopards, Zebras and an abundance of bird species. Game spotting in Tsavo East is usually fast and easy. After the morning game drive, we check in at our accommodation for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then head for an exciting game viewing trip in the late afternoon.

There are many fascinating aspects to observe in the open areas of Tsavo East, such as the Yatta Plateau, one of the world’s longest lava flows. An additional attraction is the Athi River flanked by stately Doum palms which, near the Manyani gate, forms the Lugard Falls, a long stretch of rippling white water cataracts and a favorite haunt for sunbathing Crocodiles.

Day 2

Tsavo East National Park - Amboseli National Park

Tsavo East National Park - Amboseli National Park

After breakfast, we leave Tsavo East behind us and head for Amboseli National Park (254 kilometers distance, approx. 4 hours of drive). On a clear day, we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach the park. Upon entering, we enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then we set out for a game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of Elephants – you’ll often find plenty of them standing knee-deep in the water, spraying water, eating and bathing in the swamps to cool off. Predators stalk the herds of grazing animals, recreating the age-old drama of life and death under the African sun, in a setting so lushly beautiful.

Cheetahs, Buffaloes, Giraffes, different types of Gazelle and rich plains game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down on Amboseli National Park, we return to our accommodation for dinner.

Day 3

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park

We spend a whole day in Amboseli National Park, with marvelous morning and afternoon game drives. This park is a genuine paradise for all sorts of stunning wildlife. Amboseli is Big Game Country. With a bit of luck, we come face-to-face with all of the BIG Five here. Mount Kilimanjaro provides the background scenery for our adventures in Amboseli. Anyone will agree it’s a one-of-a-kind experience to witness the exact moment in which the mountain emerges from the cloud layers into bursting sunshine. Kilimanjaro dominates the landscape from every perspective, dwarfing even the park's huge Elephants. Amboseli is a must-see and even experienced Safari adventurers enjoy returning here - stunningly beautiful wildlife against the background of Africa's highest mountain is a picture no one gets ever tired of.

We can also decide to visit a Maasai Village close-by and learn about the proud tribe's rich culture and practices (optional, at an extra cost).

Day 4

Amboseli National Park - Lake Naivasha

Amboseli National Park - Lake Naivasha

We depart magical Amboseli National Park for beautiful Lake Naivasha, stopping underway for lunch in Nairobi. Lake Naivasha is the highest-lying lake in the eastern arm of the East African Rift Valley and one of two freshwater lakes in Kenya. The lake is a paradise for all sorts of water birds: Pelicans, Herons, Eagles, Geese and Ducks are found in plentiful numbers. Hippos are taking baths or rest lazily around the shores of the lake. Wildebeest (Gnus) and Impalas graze close by.

We arrive in good time for an afternoon boat ride (optional, at an extra cost) to watch the sun set over Lake Naivasha. Navigating right through herds of Hippos is a rather special experience that – we guarantee for that – you won’t easily forget. Alternatively, a nature walk at Crescent Island is an excellent way to see wild animals. The island is a private game sanctuary, and home to Zebras, Gazelles, Monkeys, Hares, Bucks and Giraffes. In the evening, we return to our lodge for a delicious dinner.

Day 5

Lake Naivasha National Park - Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Lake Naivasha National Park - Maasai Mara Game Reserve

After a comfortable breakfast, we depart stunning Lake Naivasha for the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve, the jewel among Kenya’s game reserves. The enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains and is well-known for its spectacular wildebeest migration. It is the true home of the BIG FIVE: Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino and Cape Buffalo. Its name derives from the Maasai people, the ancestral inhabitants of the area, who still call the wide plains of Kenya and northern Tanzania home. As we travel through Maasai land, we occasionally come across a solitary Maasai Moran (=Warrior) standing on one foot while herding hundreds of cows, goats and sheep. His only defense against the dangerous wildlife surrounding him to all sides is a single stick or spear!

Upon arrival in the Maasai Mara, we comfortably take lunch at our camp before exploring the huge reserve on a late afternoon game drive. In the evening, we relax around the campfire and enjoy an excellent dinner.

Day 6

Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Maasai Mara Game Reserve

This day of safari adventure is exclusively spent in the Maasai Mara. We look out for the park's Big Cats, the Big Five and the abundance of wildlife and natural wonders found in Kenya's most famous game reserve. Remember to keep a sharp lookout; you may witness a dramatic hunt, a solitary Leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree, or a herd of Elephants protecting their young from predators. The Maasai Mara has one of the richest wildlife ensembles in the world, hosting over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Game viewing is never dull here, and patience is usually rewarded with unique sightings.

Between July and October (usually best in July and August), we can witness the famous Wildebeest and Zebra migration from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara. A massive accumulation of 1.5 million Wildebeest, 200,000 Zebras and 350,000 Gazelles stretches their legs over 2000km in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival.

Day 7

Maasai Mara Game Reserve - Nairobi

After a good night's sleep, we wake up early for a spectacular morning game drive. The Maasai Mara has been the setting of the well-known movie ‘Out of Africa’. Its astonishing wildlife is the star of the show, providing drama and intrigue against the backdrop of a spectacular scenery.

Fueled by our impressions, we take breakfast in the mid-morning hours. After breakfast, we start our journey back to Nairobi, enjoying lunch on the way. In Nairobi, our driver safely brings you back to your hotel or the airport. Your safari ends here, but you take home a big smile and a lifetime of memories - that much is certain!
