Amboseli National Park to Lake Elementaita

After breakfast, you will have a half-day game drive. Amboseli National Park is dominated by the large herds of African elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and flamingoes at Lake Amboseli, which is slowly forming in the park. Predators such as the cat family are not a guarantee to be spotted in this park such as lions and cheetahs. And if you spot them, it will only be for a short while, then vanish for some time. All this with Mount Kilimanjaro snow caps in the background. You'll have lunch en route as you drive to Lake Elementaita for check-in and overnight stay at Sentrim Elementaita.

Lake Elementaita to Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, you will proceed on a boat trip on the lake. This fascinating activity will present an opportunity to observe the variety of birdlife at the lake. The shores of the lake are hilly and green and form the perfect backdrop for a walking safari, also. During this walk of a few hours, you might run into hippos, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, waterbucks, and other animals. Sometimes it’s even possible to get quite close to, for example, the giraffes. Once you reach the top of a hill, you also get a beautiful view over the glistering lake. After lunch, you will leave Lake Elementaita for a drive to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Your dinner and overnight stay are at Sentrim Mara.
