Tour Plan
Upon arriving at Nairobi International Airport, our representative will escort you to your hotel for an overnight stay.
Following breakfast, your adventure begins with a journey to the Maasai town of Narok and then on to the renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, often considered the crown jewel and highlight of the safari expedition. Lunch will be provided. In the afternoon, enjoy a thrilling game drive before returning to your lodge or campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.
You will spend a full day in the Mara, with game drives scheduled for early morning and late afternoon, each lasting approximately 3 hours. This is the region where millions of wildebeest make their iconic crossing of the Mara River, migrating from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to Kenya's Maasai Mara Game Reserve—an annual spectacle that attracts thousands of other plains game and predators to the Mara. The migration occurs from Kenya to Tanzania between June and October, and from the Serengeti to Maasai Mara between November and May. However, this phenomenon is primarily influenced by weather patterns.
After breakfast, depart and drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lunch will be provided at the lodge. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive in this compact park teeming with wildlife, including rhinos, leopards, lions, and giraffes. As you ascend the hills surrounding the park, relish the breathtaking panoramic view of the lake. Return to your lodge or campsite at dusk for dinner and an overnight stay.
Take a leisurely drive to Lake Naivasha, the only freshwater lake within Africa's Great Rift Valley. The lake, home to bathing hippos and teeming with freshwater fish, serves as a hub for abundant birdlife and various activities. Bird watchers will find paradise in the vast array of exotic bird species. The lake region also hosts distinctive herds of plains game and the elusive black-faced colobus monkey—one of the few places in the world where you can wander on foot among wild animals. After lunch, spend the rest of the day relaxing at the lodge and enjoying its amenities.
After breakfast, you will drive through the Athi and Kapiti Plains, passing the town of Namanga, and arrive at Amboseli National Park in time for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive to explore this renowned park, famous for its numerous herds of elephants and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. You'll also have the chance to see other animals such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impala, caracals, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and buffaloes.
