This well-balanced itinerary offers a perfect combination of game drives, cultural experiences, and relaxing lodge stays, tailored for a midrange safari experience. Starting with a scenic drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, guests will enjoy multiple game drives amidst the abundant wildlife, including the Big Five.
Your adventure begins with pickup from Nairobi International Airport and a breathtaking 3-4 hour drive to Amboseli, renowned for its large elephant herds and panoramic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, over two full days.
Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives searching for elephants with majestic tusks, lions, cheetahs, and diverse birdlife. Amboseli’s open plains and swamps provide dramatic and varied scenery, perfect for wildlife photography. Comfortable lodge accommodation ensures restful evening with full-board meals featuring local and international dishes; sundowners against Kilimanjaro’s silhouette complete the authentic safari ambiance.
A drive of 5-6 hours from Amboseli to Lake Naivasha, Kenya’s highest freshwater lake. A late afternoon boat ride on the lake introduces you to hippos, numerous bird species, and diverse shoreline wildlife. Hiking on Crescent Island offers close-up views of giraffes, zebras, and impalas in a predator-free sanctuary.
A short 1.5 hour drive transports you to Lake Nakuru, famous for its birdlife, including large pelican colonies and reintroduced rhinos. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park, marked by acacia woodlands and flamingo-dotted shores (though reduced I recent years), where sightings of rhinos and leopards are common.
After a delicious breakfast and checkout, embark on a scenic 4 hour drive to Masai Mara. Upon arrival, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch followed by an afternoon game drive to witness lions, elephants, cheetahs, and other iconic African wildlife in their natural habitat. Each morning starts early with a thrilling game drive and breakfast at the lodge, with afternoons at leisure or additional game drives. Optionally, extend your stay to explore deeper regions or visit a traditional Masai village.
After Breakfast and check out, embark to Nairobi for the onwards journey with beautiful memories.
