Day 1
Nairobi - Lake Nakuru National Park
Nairobi - Lake Nakuru National Park
Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi or the Nairobi airport at 7:00am in the early morning. We then together depart Nairobi by road, heading for Lake Nakuru National Park, regarded by avid birders as one of the major ornithological spectacles on the planet. "Lake in pink" is the best way to describe Lake Nakuru. Up to two million Flamingos nest around its shores, giving the lake its unique colour. Sometimes the birds are present in such numbers that the lake's surface cannot be seen!
The lake is home to 450 species of birds. There are no Elephants in the park, but during a afternoon game drive we can spot the other members of the Big Five, including tree-climbing Lions. Special attention is paid to a conservation area for White and Black Rhino. Towards the east of the lake, we take a look at Africa's biggest Euphorbia forest, tall, cactus-like trees which are not only visually appealing, but are also providing a unique habitat for the park’s wildlife.

Day 2
Lake Nakuru National Park - Amboseli National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park - Amboseli National Park
After an early breakfast, we depart Lake Nakuru for stunning Amboseli National Park. On a clear day, we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach the park. We arrive at our lodge in perfect time for lunch, find time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, and then set out for a spectacular 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 plain's 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 and a comfortable night.

Day 3
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
We spend a whole day in Amboseli National Park, embarking on 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 bright 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).
