6 Days Kenya Safari

While the Amboseli elephants take credit for being the park’s most popular attraction, Mt. Kilimanjaro takes the flame for being the most striking. Your Amboseli full-day game drive begins with an early breakfast before the sun rises. You are in the park not too long after, in time to catch the stunning view of the sunrise over Mt. Kilimanjaro. The morning game drives are undoubtedly the most rewarding since the wildlife is most active at these hours. Today your drive creates a vivid tapestry, taking you from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli to its wetlands, lush savannahs, and woodlands. Expect to find wildlife at every turn, with the more frequent ones being the elephants, Buffaloes, zebra, dik-dik, hyrax, cheetahs, and giraffes. At around noon, the guide takes you to the observation hill for an unobstructed view of the gorgeous Amboseli landscape and the lake below. Here you have your packed lunch and then descend for the next part of the game drive – the afternoon game drive. This game drive is as exciting as the morning one, with an incredible ambiance, sunset, wildlife, and far-distance views of Kilimanjaro. No inch is left unexplored from the swamp below the observation hill to the Sulphur springs in the wetlands. Overnight: Amboseli Oltukai Lodge Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

The road trip to Lake Naivasha starts at around 6 a.m. after taking your breakfast and checking out of the hotel. While the views and wildlife sightings on your way is a thing of beauty , it is this 6-hour road trip that will catch your fantasy. Your first stop is at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint, a sensual, sprawling setting whose panorama features striking valleys, lush vegetation, birds, and water bodies. Take a breather here as you enjoy a cold drink, take some pics, and let this unique landscape take your breath away. You arrive in Naivasha a little past noon, which is the ideal time to check-in at the hotel, take lunch, and rest for a while. Your day is not done until you explore Lake Naivasha and Boat ride in the late afternoon. Naivasha is a lake of hippos, a myriad of freshwater fish, buffaloes, antelopes, monkeys, giraffes, and warthogs. While the lake’s scenery and views are breathtaking. First on its list of attractions is its wildlife which features zebras, giraffes, impalas, wildebeests, elands, kongoni, and hippos. There are also vast avian species, including lily trotters, fish eagles, herons, and black cranes. Take a picture or ten of the sunset from your boat. And, to close your Lake Naivasha safari in style, enjoy a delicious dinner with a view of the lake at the hotel. Overnight: Enashipai Resort & Spa Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Today you will take breakfast early to ensure that you are inside your 4×4 land cruiser by 6 a.m. for the road trip to Masai Mara. It is a 5-hr drive that will see you experience the best of Kenya’s countryside, although there are areas where the terrain is a little more on the rough side. If everything goes as planned, you should be checking in the camp by noon. Our guide will leave you to take lunch and relax for a while before the later afternoon game drive. The Masai Mara is the perfect definition of picture-perfect postcard beauty- where thousands of wildlife and birds throng a perfectly pristine landscape. The guide tears you from the comfort of your hotel for an evening game drive. Charmingly beautiful and home to over 100 mammal species, an evening game drive is ultimately one of the most alluring. You scour the vast landscape admiring the wildlife that comes out in droves at this time owing to reduced temperatures. Look out for the Big Five, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, hyenas, dik-dik, topi, impalas, gazelles, wild dogs, and over 450 bird species. Your first Masai Mara safari game drive ends with an optional epic sundowner

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 clump of bushes a pride of Lions, and the rock that moves a Rhino lumbering out of your way. With diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family of Cheetahs, or a herd of Elephants crossing the path in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment – a family of warthogs may amuse you, running as fast as their little legs will carry them until they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup. On this final day in the Mara, you also have an opportunity to visit an authentic Masai village. Balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains and the wildlife after which you come back down for a beautiful champagne breakfast. These trips can be arranged at our office upon booking @ $470 per person. Overnight: Mara Serena Lodge Meal: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
