Day 1
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
You'll have an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park. Check in at your accommodation and have lunch. In the afternoon, you will go for a game drive.
Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lakebed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland. In the southern area, there are a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Ol Tukai Safari Lodge.

Day 2
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
You'll rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. With a packed lunch provided, an optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.
Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Ol Tukai Safari Lodge.

Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha
Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha
Early breakfast, and proceed to Naivasha, arriving for lunch. The Rift Valley stretches from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in Southeast Africa. It’s a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 6,800 kilometers (4,300 miles) in total length, and much of it is found in Kenya, where it has cut the country in two.
Lake Naivasha's shores host abundant birdlife, including pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles. There are more animals per acre than in any other Kenyan park, so many film companies have visited the island to film the herds of wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, and gazelle.
In the evening, go on an optional visit by boat to a hidden animal sanctuary which is surrounded by water ($60 per person).

Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
You'll depart early in the morning to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive.
Dinner and your overnight stay are at the Ashnil Mara Camp.

Day 5
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
You will have a full day game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife. It's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so accustomed to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them. Several even climb onto the roof for a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. These include 6 species of eagles, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
