Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Your driver-guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Nairobi airport. Hop into the 4x4 for the beginning of your journey to Amboseli Park along the Nairobi-Mombasa Road. Even before you arrive at Amboseli, you’ll be guided by the unmistakable summit of Kilimanjaro, drawing you to the park.

You’ll arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or tented camp. After lunch, we’ll venture out on our first game drive looking for elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, ostriches, and so many others. Amboseli is renowned for its easy and abundant wildlife viewing. The park is also a photographer’s dream, framed by the snowy flanks and summit of Kilimanjaro. Toward the evening and sometimes early morning, the daytime clouds obscuring this tallest peak drift off, giving lucky viewers a stunning view of the mountain’s iconic summit.

Dinner and your overnight stay are at Kibo Safari Camp.

Masai Mara National Reserve

Enjoy an early breakfast, as today will be a game-viewing extravaganza!

You'll traverse the Masai Mara Reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game. The Masai Mara National Reserve remains one of the most exciting wildlife ecosystems in the world. It hosts the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals of any other regional wildlife park. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wild game species make it a one-stop shop for game-viewing activities.

You will have a picnic lunch by the Mara River as we watch hippos and crocodiles, or maybe the great migration (July – October).

Dinner and overnight stay are at the Zebra Plains Mara Camp.
