Day 1
Nairobi-Amboseli National Park
Nairobi-Amboseli National Park
You'll depart for the Amboseli National Park via the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. The morning drive is via typical African savannah country dotted with local homesteads and colourful Maasai herdsmen grazing their cattle.
You'll arrive in time for lunch. Later, you'll venture into the park for the scheduled afternoon wildlife viewing drive.
You will spot the free-ranging herds of elephants up close in the park —a little wonder why the park is the best place in Africa to spot such herds. It is home to many other species such as the African elephant, Cape buffalo, Impala, Lion, Cheetah, spotted hyena, Maasai giraffe, zebra, and blue wildebeest, among other African animals. Birdlife is also abundant, with both large and small species. Weather permitting, Amboseli National Park offers a beautiful vista of the scenic snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, which makes it a perfect site for photography. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.

After breakfast at your lodge in Amboseli, you'll bid farewell to the sweeping plains and vast elephant herds. Departing by road, your journey winds through the scenic Kenyan countryside, passing local towns and rural homesteads as you ascend toward the Great Rift Valley.
On arrival in the afternoon, you'll check into your lodge set near the lake, offering tranquil views and a refreshing contrast to Amboseli’s arid terrain.
Later, you may opt for a relaxing boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where you’ll glide past pods of hippos and a rich variety of birdlife, including fish eagles and cormorants. Depending on time and interest, a guided walk on Crescent Island is also available, offering a rare opportunity to walk alongside giraffes, zebras, and other plains game in a predator-free environment.
Settle in for the evening with dinner at the lodge, enjoying the cooler highland air and the calming sounds of the lake, preparing for the next leg of your adventure toward the Maasai Mara.

Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is, for this reason, a visitor hardly misses seeing the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).
