Day 2

Amboseli National Park

Meal plan. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

  • We’ll enjoy plenty of game drives today but also relaxation time as you choose. Just tell your driver/guide what you’d like to do.
  • But we’ll begin the day with an early morning game drive – the perfect time to appreciate the park coming alive with the first stirrings of wildlife.
  • We’ll enjoy breakfast at our accommodation and then set out again for more game viewing. The foliage at Amboseli is sparse which makes the animal spotting more accessible. There’s plenty of wildlife in addition to the elephants and many sightings are common.

  • Check out Observation Hill for views of the park and sightings of elephant, buffalo, hippo, and the waterfowl frequenting the marsh.

Day 5:

Lake Nakuru – Masai Mara:(180 miles: 6-7 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch.

We’ll be up with the birds… or even earlier to make the most of our time here. And then some game spotting as we take an exit drive from the park. We’re on the road to our final destination, the world’s most famous park and Kenya’s most popular – Masai Mara National Reserve.

We’ll arrive in time for an afternoon game drive. Look out over the vast stretches of the Mara with its rolling hills, golden plains, and picture-perfect acacia trees throughout the landscape. This is a special place, natural in its setting and filled with wildlife as it has been through the ages

Dinner, overnight at your pre-booked camp/Lodge

Day 6:

Full Day – Masai Mara

Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Get ready for a day of rich game viewing. The Masai Mara has one of the densest concentrations of wildlife anywhere in the region. The Big Five are here with an unusually large population of lion. This is a rich and varied eco-system, rewarding safari-goers with a wonderful variety of sightings. Should you be in the park during the Great Migration (July – October) you’ll be witness to a vast invasion of zebra, wildebeest, gazelle and more – tens of thousands of grazers streaming in, continuing their endless cycle of sustenance.

We’ll head down the Mara River, site of the crossing animals, and witness predators lying in wait – crocodiles, lions, and more. It’s the entire drama of the natural order, all playing out before us. While at the park, you can join several optional activities for your enjoyment. Visit the local Maasai at their nearby village to learn about their culture, lifestyle and perhaps pick up some of their beautiful, beaded handiwork. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, opt for the early morning hot air balloon ride over the Mara. Seeing the land and wildlife emerge into the day is a stunning and never forgotten adventure.

Dinner, overnight at your pre-booked camp/Lodge
