You will be taken on two game drives today—in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals, as this is when they are most active. These times of day also provide some of the most dramatic photography thanks to the beautiful lighting. If you are fortunate enough, you will spot some lions and get to watch some of the social interaction between pride members—especially the lion cubs playing under the watchful eyes of their mothers. The reserve is also famous for the wildebeest migration. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.

After breakfast, you depart for Lake Naivasha, where you will arrive in the mid-morning. You will take a boat ride (optional activity at an extra cost) into Lake Naivasha in the afternoon for birdwatching and to enjoy the breeze and tranquility. Hippos are also available here. The shores are teeming with birdlife, including pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles, which have a haunting cry. You can also visit Crescent Island, where you can walk among wild animals and enjoy them up close. This is because this island doesn’t have any predators that can attack either the animals or the humans, so walks on the Island very close to the animals are very common.
Other optional activities (at an extra cost) include guided nature walks, biking, horseback riding, among others. Your dinner and overnight stay are at the resort.

Your first afternoon game drive will take place after you have checked in and had lunch in your camp. Amboseli is known as the best place in Africa for getting up close to free-ranging elephants. The population is so robust here that sightings are guaranteed! Amboseli is also a photographer’s paradise. Those wonderful photos you’ve seen of elephants seemingly posing in front of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro? They were taken here.
