Day 1

Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

You will be picked up from either Jomo Kenyatta Airport or your accommodation to begin your journey towards Amboseli National Park. Once you arrive at the camp, you will have lunch and then set out on an afternoon game drive to explore the acacia woodland, freshwater swamps, scrub brush, and open plains to search for wildlife. You will return to the camp during sunset.

Amboseli National Park covers an area of 392 square kilometers and is well-known for offering breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain on earth and in Africa (5895m). The park is also known as an elephant's paradise, with bull elephants weighing up to six tons due to the abundance of water and pasture. Other animals you might spot here include cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, hippos, and many others. Part of the park comprises a dried-up lake bed, creating mirages that rise from the shimmering heat.

note- accommodation can be upgraded at an extra cost.

Full day in Amboseli National park

Full day in Amboseli National park

You have two options for your day at Amboseli Park. You can begin with an early morning game drive to see the animals when they are most active. Afterwards, return to the lodge for breakfast and lunch. Spend the hottest part of the day relaxing in camp, reading, writing in your journal, or observing the local birds. In the late afternoon, at around 4 pm, head out for another drive through the park.

If you choose the second option, you'll leave camp after breakfast, carrying your packed lunch to enjoy in the wild. Spend the entire day exploring the marshlands and swamps of Amboseli, which are fed by subterranean water channels. Water is abundant throughout the year, and so is the pasture. You'll encounter elephants and various other herbivores while exploring this 392 km² park. Return to the lodge late in the afternoon after a long day of exploration, just in time for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4

Lake Nakuru To Masai Mara National Reserve

Lake Nakuru To Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, embark on your first early-morning game drive. Despite the early start, morning game drives are always worth it as you can spot animals when they are most active. This park is beautiful all year round and features rocky escarpments, patches of yellow-barked acacia forest, and a waterfall. It is home to flamingos, black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and the endangered Rothschild's giraffes. The southern end of the lake is the best place to see wildlife. The forested area below the Rhinos Cliff is a favorite lion-spotting point where lionesses love to sleep in the trees.

After the game drive, you will exit the park and drive through the Rift Valley floor to Masai Mara National Reserve. You will stop for lunch on the way at Narok town and then proceed to Masai Mara, arriving at the lodge late in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

Please note that accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options at an additional cost.

Full Day game drive in Masai Mara

You will spend a full day exploring the rich tree-studded grassland and rolling hills of the famous Savanna on a game-viewing tour. The Mara is well-known for its vast herds of plains game animals, such as leopards, cheetahs, lions, and other herbivores. It is home to virtually every other type of wildlife found in Kenya.

You will have a picnic lunch under a flat-top acacia tree in the savannah while watching the animals grazing. After that, you will continue with the game-viewing en route to your camp, arriving late in the afternoon after thoroughly exploring this massive grassland savannah that measures 1,500 sq.

You can also book a balloon ride early in the morning, which is an optional activity. After landing, the crew will assist you out of the basket and escort you to a lovely setting for a bush breakfast, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and worth the price. Later, you can join your driver guide at a location and proceed with your full-day game drive.
