Overview

Around Kenya in a week, exploring two of Kenya’s best national Parks, Amboseli and Masai Mara with a break a the most beautiful of Great Rift Valley Lakes-Lake Naivasha for a free boat ride before proceeding to Lake Nakuru National Park. This is a budget group joining safari and can also operate on the reverse routing depending on your schedule.

Day 1: Nairobi- Aboseli- 250Km/4hrs

Morning departure from Nairobi to Amboseli, arriving in time for lunch at the camp…Afternoon at leisure before an introductory game drive in the park starting from 1630hrs in the with a perfect view of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro in the backdrop! Dinner and overnight at Kimana Budget Tented Camp.

Day 2: Amboseli National Park

An early morning game drive allows you to become better acquainted with Amboseli and its wildlife. Wherever you travel within the park you will remain under the watchful gaze of the imposing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The vast herds of elephants for which Amboseli is known, seem dwarfed by comparison.
This day, we will leave the camp early morning after breakfast, with our packed picnic lunches to allow us maximum time for game drive in the park. Lunch will then be served at the Observation Hill with a birds eye view of most of the Amboseli plains. Later on, we return to the camp for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3: Amboseli- Lake Naivasha-Lake Nakuru- 7hrs

After breakfast, drive via Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, one of the seven (7) Great Rift Valley Lakes. We will stop at the Great Rift Valley View Point for photos before continuing to Lake Naivasha…..

The highest of all the Rift Valley lakes, Lk. Naivasha is a beautiful shallow freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus reeds. The waters of the lake draw great array of bird life to its shoreline. Buffalo wallow in the swamps, whilst the large hippo population laze their days in the shallows. Giraffe wander among the acacia, whilst the Colobus monkeys swing from the green canopies above.

Lunch will be served en route. Afternoon boat ride in the lake, to view pools of hippos and an array of birdlife that inhabits the lake. Later on we proceed to Nakuru for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Lake Nakuru- Masai Mara- 340Kms/6hrs

Early morning 6:30am Game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park untill around 10am. There after, we depart for Masai Mara via the western wall of the Great Rift Valley.

Ascending through the Western wall of the Great Rift Valley floor, we reach arguably Kenya’s most celebrated natural attraction-The Masai Mara game reserve. A 1,500 sq. km slab of open Savannah dotted with acacia trees-the Kenyan section of the wildly beautiful Serengeti plains, teems with wildlife. Being in the Mara has been described by some authorities as ‘’ being in the New York of the natural world’’

You will spend the next 2 nights here to explore. Dinner and overnight at the camp (No Game drive in the Mara on this evening).

Day 5: Masai Mara

After an early morning breakfast, we depart for a full day game drive with picnic lunches, explore the reserves’ amazingly high concentration of game. This game reserve is Kenya’s finest wildlife sanctuary.

Over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. Although July, August and September are the months when the Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra, there is also resident wildlife year round. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

Early morning game drive in the reserve. By 9:00am, we return to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast, we depart leisurely for Nairobi with lunch en route. Drop off at your hotel or at the airport.
