ITINERARY

Day 1 Nairobi.

You begin your Safari by arriving at JKIA Airport in Nairobi, Kenya where our representative will be waiting to receive the team. (Advisable to arrive early morning). Get transferred to your city hotel for check-in. In the afternoon, head out for a City Tour where you visit the Giraffe Center & Kobe Tough. Later go to the Carnivore Restaurant for a game meat dinner experience (vegetarian menu available). Transfer back to the Hotel for overnight.

Day 2 Nairobi – Amboseli.

After pickup from your City Hotel, an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park. Check-in at accommodation and lunch. Head out for a game viewing drive at 3:00 Pm where you will search for the Big Elephant Herds, Lions, Giraffes, and antelopes among other wildlife. At Sunset head back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Amboseli.

Rising early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit with a packed lunch provided, an optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Less harassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari. Evening Relaxation at the Lodge followed by Dinner.

Day 4: Amboseli – Lake Naivasha.

An early morning drive to Lake Naivasha, it is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. At 1910m (6200f), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptians once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, herons hide in it while searching for food.

After Lunch, we will head out for a boat ride searching for the hippo families and a variety of bird species found here. We then proceed to Crescent Island for a Walking Safari where you interact with the Giraffes, Wildebeest, Zebras, and antelopes taking up-close photos and enjoying the views. We ride back to the mainland and transfer you back to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

Day 5: Lake Naivasha – Maasai Mara.

Depart early morning to Maasai Mara National Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Mara holds on as one of the few places on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras, and attendant predators.

Day 6 & 7: Maasai Mara.

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife and it’s one of the few places where it’s possible to see the big five during a morning’s game drive. Optional Hot Air Balloon Ride Early Morning

Day 8: Maasai Mara – Nairobi – Home

Morning after breakfast depart with an En-route game drive. Experience a Cultural tour where you learn about the Maasai Culture at the Maasai Village. We later drive to Nairobi with a stopover for lunch at Narok. Proceed to arrive in Nairobi where you are transferred to the airport for your journey home.
