Nairobi- Amboseli national park
Early morning, we pick you up from the airport or your city hotel then drive you to Amboseli National Park. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps of Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow barked acacias and phoenix palms. The park is the best place to view large herds of elephants up close and it is dominated by vast Lake Amboseli which is dry outside the rainy season. At the Amboseli National Park one can have an immense view of Mount Kilimanjaro which is across the border in Tanzania and more than 600 bird species. By noon you will have your lunch at the lodge and proceed for an afternoon game drive. At sunset you will be taken to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Lake Nakuru- Masai Mara National Reserve
Lake Nakuru- Masai Mara National Reserve
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 relatively 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 wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. You will spend your night at the camp.
