Amboseli National Park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery, it is dwarfed by Mount Kilimanjaro's pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of 5,896 meters. Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephants, which can be viewed up close, accompanied by lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, hippo, and wildebeest. There are also over 400 species of birds and all manner of reptilian, flora, and fauna. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

The Mara is the land of African legend. Lions are abundant throughout the park, as are elephants, giraffes, and various gazelle species and zebras. Cheetahs and leopards are also regularly seen, and, less commonly, rhinos. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September, during which the big animals and their predators are present in abundance during the timeframe of this trip. Several species of bee-eaters, such as the flying rainbow that heads the list of Mara's birds, occur in the reserve. Along with wildlife, the Masai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai community who may be seen around the borders of the park.
