Here in Kenya’s most popular park with its deep savannahs offset with iconic acacia trees, you’ll have a good chance to spot the “Big Five” – lion, leopard elephant, rhino and buffalo because of the great density of animals in this reserve.

At the Mara River, we’ll see hippo and crocodile deep in their usual habitat as wildebeest, zebra and gazelle forge across in search of food. The park also supports masses of impala, eland, Masai Giraffe, cheetah and hyena. You won’t go a day here without enjoying the ever-present wildlife.

We offer several optional excursions to round out your safari. An early morning hot air balloon ride over the awakening Mara with its views of the endless trains of wildlife is an unforgettable memory. Just ask your guide to make the arrangements for you.

You can also take a moment out from wildlife tracking to visit the local Maasai people. Here you can meet the villagers, learn about their lives and purchase some of their colorful crafts.

We’ll depart early for Lake Nakuru, but we’ll have plenty of time to stop, stretch and enjoy scenic vistas along the way.

Lake Nakuru is a stunning park – you may view a few flamingos lining the lake. Please note that due to some progressive natural factors , the flamingo numbers have been reducing but the park itself remains stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dot the lake.

The few quantity of flamingos is accompanied by other birdlife – pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy and full of color.

Then waterfalls, acacia forest and looming rocky escarpments overseeing it all. This is a wonderful place for wildlife watching but also to relax.

You’ll find rare Rothschild’s giraffe, zebra, hippo, waterbuck, hyena, monkey and baboon. But let’s get back to the flamingos – there are possibly as many as a million of the fuchsia birds filling the alkaline lake, feeding off its vast blooms of algae. This is only one of a few places in the world you can see this carpet of blazing pink birdlife.

And still more to come – we’ll visit the rhino sanctuary, home to one of Kenya’s largest populations of endangered black and white rhino. And, time permitting, a game drive in the park’s woodlands may get us a view of the infamous African rock python, perhaps hanging from a tree!

Dinner and overnight at the lodge or tent of your choice

It’s a quick drive next to Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks and preserves. This is a pretty area of forest, extinct volcanoes, imposing gorges and Africa’s signature acacia trees. Naivasha is another Rift Valley lake that attracts over 450 species of birds.

We’ll take a sailing safari across this lake looking for weavers, firefinches, cormorants and pelicans. As we glide by the hippos foraging about, we may also take in giraffe and zebra grazing on the nearby shore of this idyllic spot.

Then it’s a quick trip to Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, a private preserve where we’ll enjoy a guided walking safari amongst the grazing buffalo, zebra and giraffe. And if bicycling is more your speed, take advantage of an optional riding safari at nearby Hell’s Gate National Park.

This is a place of dramatic cliffs, canyons and active steam vents rising from the earth below. But it’s also an easy-going opportunity to bicycle past impala, eland and even baboon.

Dinner and overnight at the safari Lodge or tent of your choice

A long and easy drive to the Amboseli national park.

A short game viewing drive with possible views of the Mount Kilimanjaro peaks at Amboseli -Weather permitting.

There will be plenty of stops along the way to Amboseli Park to eat, relax and appreciate vistas of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. As you approach the park, the great rise of Mt. Kilimanjaro overpowers the horizon. Africa’s tallest mountain is one of the ever-present features of this reserve – a picture postcard whenever you snap a picture.

Dinner and overnight at the safari lodge or tent of your choice.

Though not a large park, the density of wildlife here will make for an active and gratifying safari experience. Amboseli is known for its practically endless herds of elephants, and you will see these wonderful titans marching to their watering holes.

We’ll be here at Amboseli over the course of 3 days with plenty of time for game drives and also relaxation, if you wish. Just let your guide know what you’re in the mood for.

It’s been a busy 7 days, and you’ve seen and absorbed so much during this discovery safari. But there’s still more to experience on your way to Kenya’s sun-dappled coast.

It’s an early rise again, and hopefully, the clouds will break at the peak of Kilimanjaro, revealing its snowy crown. Dining at your camp or lodge before a delicious safari breakfast, you can take in the splendor of Africa’s largest peak overlooking the park.

We’ll enjoy one final game drive in Amboseli again looking for the big game and the smaller forms of hyena, fox, monkey, and baboon. The park is a virtual city of wildlife.

But now we’re off, heading to the Kenya coast.

On the way back, we’ll make stops to rest, stretch and have lunch.

As we drive to your resort or hotel, you’ll gaze at the passing countryside, with thoughts of the marvelous animal sightings that have filled the past three days.

By early evening, you will be drop at Leopard Beach Hotel.
