The park comprises of a diversity of habitats; open plains alternating with savannah bush and semi-desert scrub; acacia woodlands; rocky ridges and outcrops. With a permanent water source, the park definitely guarantees enormous elephant herds and other excellent game viewing including buffalo, zebra, kudu, cheetah, lion, leopard, hyena, etc. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Day 2 :: Tsavo West – Amboseli National Park //..

Breakfast at the lodge and depart for Amboseli National Park. You will visit an authentic Masai Village on the way. This park is famous for its large elephant herds and magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain. The snow- capped peak is sometimes covered in the clouds. Lunch at your lodge and you have some time to relax or enjoy the sun heated swimming pool, before leaving for an afternoon game drive. We will be back in time for warm shower or maybe you want a drink before dinner. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Day 3 :: Amboseli – Lake Nakuru National Park //..

After breakfast at your lodge, depart for Amboseli Airstrip for a light aircraft flight to Nairobi. Upon landing at Wilson Airport, we set sail for Lake Nakuru National Park with lunch at the Lake Naivasha Country Club. After lunch, continue overland to Nakuru for an afternoon game drive. Lake Nakuru’s claim to fame is anchored on its flamingo’s and the over 400 species of birds found here. The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. The lake has also earned a reputation as an important haven for endangered species, particularly the Rothschild Giraffe, the Black Rhino and the White Rhino. However, Lions, Waterbuck, Buffalo and Baboons are also resident here. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Day 4 :: Nakuru – Masai Mara  //..

Breakfast at the lodge then drive across the Great Rift Valley to arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch at your lodge. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe; over 100 animal species have been recorded here by day and by night. You will easily see Lions, Rhinos, Hippos, Crocodiles, Giraffe, Wildebeests, Zebras, Buffalo, Warthogs, Hyenas, Jackals, Wild dogs, Buffalo, Leopard and a variety of plains antelopes. It is in the Mara where one of the most spectacular events of natural wonder of the world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Behind them are predators of the savanna – Lion, Cheetah, Wild dog, Jackal, Hyena and Vultures. Depart for an afternoon game drive until dusk. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Day 5 :: Explore Masai Mara //..

We spend a full day in the Masai Mara on morning and afternoon game drives. The trees in the distance might turn out to be a family of giraffes. Those clumps of bushes may be a pride of lions, and the rock that is moving – a rhino lumbering out of your way. With extra luck, you may encounter a family of cheetahs, or a herd of Elephants crossing right in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment – a family of warthogs may amuse you run as fast as their little legs will carry them, until they forget why they are rushing, stop to regroup. Between the game drives, there is an opportunity to visit an authentic Maasai Village – an included highlight of your safari. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Today is when you have an opportunity to fly over the Mara in a hot-air balloon at extra cost of US $ 500.00 per person. The balloon package includes a champagne breakfast in the wild – an unforgettable experience!

Day 6 :: Masai Mara- Nairobi //..

After breakfast, return to Nairobi arriving early afternoon. Included lunch or dinner at the Carnivore Restaurant, and a day room at the Panari Hotel, Nairobi will serve a great purpose.
