Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel at 6:30 am. You'll then start together to Tsavo East National Park, where you 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, you'll check in at our accommodation for lunch. You'll have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool. Then, you'll head for an exciting wildlife 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, form the Lugard Falls, a long stretch of rippling white water cataracts and a favorite haunt for sunbathing crocodiles.

After breakfast, you'll leave Tsavo East behind you and head for Amboseli National Park (254 kilometers distance, approx. 4 hours of driving). On a clear day, you'll marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as you approach the park. Upon entering, you'll enjoy a game drive en route to your accommodation, arriving in time for lunch. You'll have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool. Then, you'll set out for a game drive. Amboseli is best known for its 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, buffalo, 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, you'll return to your accommodation for dinner.

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 ever gets tired of.

Hippos are taking baths or resting lazily around the shores of the lake. Wildebeest (gnus) and impalas graze close by.
You'll arrive in good time for an afternoon boat ride (optional, at an extra cost) to watch the sunset over Lake Naivasha. Navigating right through herds of hippos is a special experience you won’t easily forget. Alternatively, a nature walk at Crescent Island is an excellent way to see wild animals.

Day 5
Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve
Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve
After a comfortable breakfast, you'll depart from stunning Lake Naivasha for the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, the jewel among Kenya’s game reserves. The enormous reserve is 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 you travel through Maasai land, you 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 is a single stick or spear!
Upon arrival in the Masai Mara, we comfortably take lunch at our camp before exploring the huge reserve on a late afternoon game drive. In the evening, you'll relax around the campfire and enjoy an excellent dinner.

Day 6
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
This day of safari adventure is exclusively spent in the Masai Mara. We look out for the park's 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 Masai Mara has one of the richest wildlife ensembles in the world, hosting over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Wildlife viewing is never dull here, and patience is usually rewarded with unique sightings.
Between July and October (usually best in July and August), you can witness the famous wildebeest and zebra migration from the Serengeti to the Masai 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.
