Overview:

This 6 days safari takes you to some of Kenya’s best Parks which include: Amboseli, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara National Reserve. During the safari you will traverse the Great Rift Valley and sisal plantations and experience Kenya like never before.

Itinerary:

Nairobi - Amboseli National Park :

Depart for Amboseli National Park. Arid looking as Amboseli has historically supported both game and the Masai that kept their herds of cattle here. It is thanks to the waters that run off Africa's greatest mountain that the apparently dry Amboseli, Kenya's first game sanctuary is able to support its wildlife. Mount Kilimanjaro broods high over Amboseli. The mountain now provides water for the park, wonderful views and, of course, the most glorious background for animal photography. Arrive in time for lunch at the lodge, game drive in this scenic and wildlife rich park. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Amboseli - Aberdare National Park:

Early morning game drive. In the early morning you have an opportunity to see the peak of the mountain weather permitting. Breakfast at the lodge. Depart for Aberdare National Park and drive through Kikuyu farmland before reaching the foothills of Aberdare Ranges where much coffee and tea is grown. Lunch will be enroute. On arrival at the base hotel drop the excess luggage and drive through the forest to reach your hotel where the night is spent watching the never ending pageant of wildlife which visits the floodlit waterhole and saltlick below. Dinner and overnight at the Lodge.
Note: Children under the age of 7yrs not allowed at the Tree hotels.

Aberdare National Park - Lake Nakuru:

Breakfast at the lodge then check out and drive to the floor of the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon enjoy a game drive in this beautiful park. Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the smallest but best game parks in Africa. The soda lake is home to a sea of pink flamingos and the surrounding parkland offers the closest view you're likely to get of a white rhino (they tend to gather in front of the acacia forest at the southern end of the lake). Other park residents include leopards, buffaloes and hippos. The park is best explored in the golden sun of the late afternoon. You can circle the lake clockwise in your van then drive to the top of Baboon Cliff for a stunning sunset view. Dinner and Overnight at the Lodge.

Lake Nakuru - Maasai Mara:

Early breakfast. Depart for Masai Mara Game Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon proceed for a game drive in this world famous game reserve. At dusk return to the lodge. Dinner and overnight at the lodge/camp.

Maasai Mara:

Early morning balloon safari is available as an option at USD 450 per person. The Balloon launches at 0600hrs and takes one hour. On landing you will be welcomed with a champagne bush breakfast. Full day game viewing whereby you leave the camp/lodge after breakfast with picnic lunch. The Mara is the land of African legend: Lion are abundant throughout the park, as are the elephants, giraffes, and a variety of gazelle species and zebra. Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and, less commonly, rhino. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature’s few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September where the big animals and their predators are to be present in abundance during the time frame of this trip. Several species of Bee-Eater, the flying rainbow that heads the list of the Mara’s birds, occur in the reserve. As well as wildlife, the Maasai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the borders of the park – Morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day. Dinner and overnight at the Lodge/camp.
