Arrive
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel.
Masai Mara Game Reserve
After breakfast we proceed across the beautiful Great Rift Valley to the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. Situated in the south-eastern corner of Kenya, the reserve is home to the greatest concentration of large mammals on earth. The Masai Mara and the Mara River form part of the world-famous Great Annual Wildebeest Migration, and timing your Masai Mara Safari to coincide with this can be critical.
We arrive in time for lunch and in the afternoon, enjoy an enthralling game-viewing drive. Spotting lions, cheetahs and other spectacular predators is the highlight of your day and we might even spot a traditional Maasai Warrior who are still quite common in these parts.
This evening, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at your lodge.
Lunch and Dinner included.
Masai Mara Game Viewing
Enjoy a full day of game drives in the Masai Mara to search for the myriad species of game that make this reserve their home. Rise early for a dawn game drive, returning to the camp in time for breakfast. Or perhaps to the Mara River or the Musiara Marsh on half day with picnic breakfast. Return to the camp in time for lunch, followed by a rest in the shaded tent or relax on the veranda of your tent, watching the game go by. Later head out on an afternoon game drive returning to camp to enjoy a sundowner around the campfire, exchanging stories of the day with the other guests. Dinner by candlelight completes the day, after which an askari will guide you to your tent.
Lunch and Dinner included.
Masai Mara Game Reserve to Lake Nakuru
After breakfast, drive to Lake Nakuru keeping an eye out for game along the way. Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley’s soda lakes and is rich in birdlife with over 400 resident species including abundant pink flamingos which number their thousands, sometimes millions and feed on the algae in the lake.
You'll drive through the park and arrive at your lodge in time for lunch. In the afternoon we embark on a game drive and along with the birdlife we will hopefully spot the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, black and white rhinos and predators such as lions, cheetah and leopard. Dinner at your lodge.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Lake Nakuru to Amboseli National Park
After breakfast we drive to Amboseli National Park located at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. The snow of the mountain forms a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular displays of wildlife including lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and host of plains game.
Lunch is served at the lodge with some time to relax. In the late afternoon we will enjoy a game drive before spending dinner and the evening at our lodge.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Explore Amboseli
Today we rise early and take in the impressive views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. We set off for a dawn game drive to view a multitude of wildlife which call Amboseli home including everything from Wildebeest to Giraffes to Baboons.
After time for lunch and a rest we then enjoy another evening game drive, returning to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Depart
This morning after breakfast depart Amboseli National Park, enjoying some final game viewing as you exit the park. Continue on to Nairobi where you will say goodbye to your guide as you are dropped off at the international airport for your departure flight.
