Amboseli Full Day

Early morning is a very special time for a game drive. You’ll see the park come alive with the first stirrings of wildlife as the gentle early light plays upon the trees and plains. We’ll have breakfast and then we’re off in our 4 x 4 on another drive looking for lion, cheetah and smaller game like hyena, fox, baboon, and monkey. Amboseli enjoys a rich palette of birdlife as well – crake, egret, heron, falcon, and eagle have all been spotted at the park’s marshes and lakes. We can also spot wildlife from the lookout vantage of Observation Hill where we may see buffalo, hippo, pelican and still more avian life below. As evening approaches, look at Mt. Kilimanjaro as its snowy peak may appear through the breaking clouds. We’ll spend your final night at Amboseli at your safari lodge or tented camp.

Amboseli – Lake Naivasha

We’ll be up early for a final game drive and bid farewell to our many elephant friends as we leave the park and embark on a journey of 340 km approx 6 hrs through the Great Rift Valley. Seeing this exciting landscape with its dramatic escarpment will inspire us to stop and enjoy the views. We should arrive at freshwater Lake Naivasha in time for lunch. Then it’s time for a bicycle safari (or hiking if you prefer) to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park to explore its imposing cliffs and canyons. We’ll be biking (or hiking) past the park’s impala, eland, gazelle, and buffalo. We’ll spend the night at the Lake Naivasha Kongoni lodge.

Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara

Let’s rise for an early boat safari across Lake Naivasha with the morning sun breaking upon the lake as we float by awakening hippos and exotic birds. This is Africa at its most serene. We’ll follow that with a pleasant sojourn a guided walking safari to Crescent Island Game Sanctuary a jewel of a reserve that quietly shows off rich flocks of birds and grazing animals such as waterbuck, zebra, and gazelle. How lucky to find ourselves in such a heavenly sanctuary. And now we’re off for 240Km approx 5 hrs to the Masai Mara National Reserve the most popular park in the country and you’ll soon see why. Your first views of the park will be of its rolling, open spaces, delightful acacia trees and perhaps some early wildlife sightings. The Mara is known to possess the greatest concentration of wildlife in the region. So let’s start looking for those Big Five, plus giraffe, zebra, ostrich, and so many others. We’ll spend the next two nights at the Masai Mara at your safari lodge.

Masai Mara Full Day

Your day will be filled with unlimited game drives and we’ll begin early in our 4 x 4 traversing these golden savannahs in search of the large game like lion, leopard, cheetah, and the smaller hyena and jackal. If you’re here from July through October you’ll witness a stunning influx of wildlife into the park during the Great Migration the season when gazelle, wildebeest and zebra flood into the park over the Mara River in a timeless cycle of birth, death and renewal. We’ll take a picnic lunch by the Mara River where we may see hippo and also crocodile awaiting the influx of wildlife. We can arrange a hot air ballon and a visit to the local Masai people (optional). Learn about their culture and lifestyle and this would be a good opportunity to pick up some of their colourful beaded handiwork. We offer a pre-dawn adventure, sailing over the park, watching the wildlife darting about the plains below. Our final night at the Masai Mara will be at the lodge for dinner and relaxation.

Masai Mara– Nairobi

After a leisurely breakfast at your lodge, your driver will assist you with the checkout and proceed to Nairobi on a drive of 265 km approx 5 hrs. On the way, your guide will point out the Longonot extinct volcano which is a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s and its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong’ot, meaning “mountains of many spurs” or “steep ridges “ You can opt to drive via Naivasha for lunch/excursions at an extra cost or drive straight to Nairobi and pass by Kiambethu farm for the tea farm tour inclusive of a three-course buffet lunch (at an extra cost). Your driver will drop you off at your hotel or airport for your onward travel and that will be the end of your tour.
