Itinerary
Get ready to explore Kenya! Your East Africa Tours and Travel guide will greet you at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It's a quick one-hour drive (about 22 kilometers) depending on traffic, to your Nairobi city hotel. After checking in, the rest of the day is yours to relax and explore at your own pace.
Rise and shine! After a delicious breakfast, we'll head out to Amboseli National Park, the place that captures the iconic African scenery straight out of a movie. Imagine vast savannas stretching out with the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest freestanding mountain, dominating the horizon. Here, giant elephant herds roam freely alongside lions, buffalo, cheetahs, giraffes, and a stunning variety of wildlife. Amboseli is also a birdwatcher's paradise with over 400 species!
We'll arrive at your chosen accommodation, check in, and enjoy a tasty lunch. In the afternoon, get ready for an exciting game drive where you might spot the "Big Five" and many other amazing animals. Keep your camera ready – with clear skies, Mount Kilimanjaro provides one of the most breathtaking backdrops in Africa. After an unforgettable day, we'll return to our lodge for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.
Get ready for a full day of Amboseli adventures! We'll kick things off with an early morning game drive, searching for wildlife as the park awakens. Afterward, return to the lodge for a delicious breakfast. The rest of the morning is yours to relax by the pool, soak in the majestic views of Kilimanjaro, or explore the surrounding area.
In the afternoon, we'll fuel up with lunch before embarking on another exciting game drive. With Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop, keep your eyes peeled for Africa's iconic wildlife – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, buffaloes, and a dazzling array of plains animals. As the sun sets, we'll return to our lodge for dinner and a well-deserved rest.
After a delicious breakfast, we hit the road for Lake Nakuru National Park. Our scenic journey takes us down the Great Rift Valley, offering breathtaking views that unfold like a nature documentary. The massive Rift Valley itself is a geological marvel, stretching through Kenya from north to south.
Along the way, we'll catch a glimpse of Mount Longonot, a volcanic peak, and Lake Naivasha, a freshwater oasis nestled in the valley's heart. Finally arriving at Lake Nakuru National Park, we'll check into our lodge and enjoy lunch.
This afternoon, prepare for a thrilling game drive around Lake Nakuru, a famous soda lake in the heart of the Rift Valley. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as we explore interesting spots like Baboon Cliff, Lion Hill, and the Mau Escarpment. This park is a haven for over 300 bird species, and endangered animals like the Rothschild giraffe, black and white rhino, and elusive leopard.
The scenery here is stunning. From the vast Euphorbia forest, the largest in Africa, to incredible viewpoints like Lion Hill and the Honeymoon Ranges, Lake Nakuru offers a diverse landscape. Imagine marshes and grasslands mingling with rocky cliffs and outcrops, woodlands, and stretches of acacia trees. As the day winds down, we'll return to our lodge for dinner and a restful sleep.
Fuel up for another adventure after breakfast! Today, we'll depart for the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve. Our journey takes us through the awe-inspiring Great Rift Valley, eventually reaching the northernmost reaches of the Serengeti Plains. The Masai Mara is a haven for wildlife, perhaps the only place in Kenya where you can see such an abundance of animals, just like explorers did over a century ago.
Upon arrival at our lodge/camp, we'll be greeted warmly and enjoy a delicious late lunch. Afterward, get ready for an unforgettable afternoon game drive in this vast expanse teeming with life. Keep your eyes peeled for the "Big Five" – lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino, and leopard.
The Masai Mara's endless savannah grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see, providing a habitat for an incredible array of wildlife. Look out for the majestic black-maned lion, the elusive leopard, cheetah, Maasai giraffes, vast herds of elephants and rhinos, zebras on the move, wildebeest migrations, impalas, warthogs, gazelles, topis, waterbucks, and many more.
As evening approaches, we'll return to our lodge/camp to freshen up before enjoying dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.
Breakfast in the morning will prepare you for a full day of game viewing in the famous Masai Mara National reserve. You will carry packed lunch from the lodge and then head out in to the reserve for a whole day of spectacular game viewing. Look out for wildlife – big herds of lions, leopards, elephants, the elusive cheetah, Thomson’s gazelle, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, topis, spotted hyenas, zebras, baboons and the graceful giraffes. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch amidst the breathtaking scenery, perhaps under the shade of an acacia tree or overlooking the snorting hippos in the Mara River. Your day will end in the evening as you will be transferred back to the lodge for dinner.
