Your journey kicks off with a scenic drive south toward Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most iconic parks, famed for its massive elephant herds and dramatic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. After a warm welcome at your lodge and a delicious lunch, head out for your first afternoon game drive across the vast open plains. Amboseli delivers incredible photographic moments with wildlife roaming beneath the towering peaks of Africa’s tallest mountain. Look out for giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and the majestic tuskers Amboseli is known for.
Rise early for a sunrise game drive, when big cats are still active and the golden light bathes the landscape. After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, enjoy a leisurely mid-morning and take in the lodge's serene views. In the afternoon, return to the wild for more sightings of Amboseli’s diverse wildlife—elephants, buffaloes, and rich birdlife set against the surreal Kilimanjaro backdrop.
After breakfast, set off for Lake Nakuru National Park, a Rift Valley gem. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch and an afternoon game drive in this flamingo-fringed sanctuary. Lake Nakuru’s alkaline waters draw thousands of pink flamingos, while the surrounding woodlands shelter white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, waterbucks, and elusive leopards. The park is also a haven for bird enthusiasts with over 400 bird species, including pelicans, storks, and plovers.
Start the day with a brief morning game drive before departing for the crown jewel of Kenya's safari circuit: the Masai Mara. This journey takes you through panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley, wheat fields, and the lush Mau Forest. After lunch, dive into your first Mara game drive, a prelude to the magic that awaits. The Mara's sweeping plains are home to the Big Five and are the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration—a spectacle of survival and strength.
Experience a day of full immersion in the wild. Begin with an early morning game drive and breakfast in the bush as the sun rises. Continue exploring the reserve with a picnic lunch under a lone acacia tree—just like the classic safari dream.You can also choose from optional, self-sponsored experiences like a hot air balloon safari at sunrise or a visit to a traditional Maasai village. Return to your lodge for dinner under the stars.
After one last early game drive, begin your relaxed journey back to Nairobi. Make a stop at the Great Rift Valley Escarpment for panoramic views, souvenirs, or photos with the resident hyraxes.
Arrive in Nairobi by late afternoon and transfer to the airport or your city hotel. As your adventure ends, take with you unforgettable moments—and perhaps start planning your return with friends in tow. Safari Njema – Safe travels and see you again soon!
