Dreams become reality on this 6-day tour of southern Kenya. We'll explore Amboseli National Park, Lake Naruku, and Maasai Mara National Reserve!
6-Day Tour Details
Day 1: Nairobi - Maasai Mara National Reserve
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi and take you to Maasai Mara National Reserve. On our way there, we'll also see the Rift Valley, where we’ll stop for 10 to 15 minutes to enjoy the view and maybe even catch sight of some wild animals. Keep your eyes peeled!
As we reach Maasai Mara, we'll head to our camp, where we'll tuck into a delicious lunch. Afterwards, having settled into the camp and enjoyed lunch, we'll set off for a sunset game drive in the reserve. Lions, giraffes, elephants, and cheetahs abound along our route. Plus, if you're travelling between July and August, you can even see the wildebeest migration, when thousands of these animals cross the Mara River accompanied by zebras and antelopes. It's one of the most memorable events in the animal kingdom! Did you know that this phenomenon is the seventh wonder of the world?
Afterwards, we'll return to camp and enjoy a buffet dinner, bringing an end to the first day of our adventure.
Day 2: Maasai Mara National Reserve
After eating breakfast, we'll set off for a full day of exploring the Maasai Mara National Reserve to resume our search for the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and African buffalo.
At midday, we'll sit down for a picnic lunch in the park. Then, we'll visit the site of the yearly wildebeest migration and see some crocodiles and hippos who tend to hang out at the banks of Mara River. Next, we'll continue with the game drive and explore the beauty of the reserve.
After spending a day in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, we'll return to camp to have dinner and spend the night. Sleep well!
Day 3: Maasai Mara National Reserve - Lake Nakuru National Park
Rise and shine! After an early morning and eating breakfast, we'll begin our journey to Nakuru. If you wish, we can make a stop at a Maassai Village along the way.
Then, after about a 3.5 to 4-hour drive, we'll arrive at the hotel, where we'll check in and rest up for the next day.
Day 4: Nakuru - Amboseli National Park
After enjoying breakfast, we'll check out of the hotel and head straight to Amboseli National Park, where we'll embark on one of the most memorable adventures you'll ever take!
This small park is home to rare white rhinos, members of the Big Five. If we're lucky, we might also spot flamingos! After a 3-hour game drive through the park, we'll start our drive to Amboseli, stopping for lunch on the way.
In the evening, we'll head to our hotel in Amboseli, where we'll have dinner and relax until the next day.
Day 5: Amboseli
Good morning! Having savoured an early morning breakfast, we'll get ready to spend a full day in Amboseli National Park, bringing a packed lunch to keep us fuelled for our day of adventure!
In the park, we'll enjoy a safari, looking out for animals such as zebras, wildebeests, giraffes and hippos, all with views of the breathtaking Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. What more could you ask for?
Finally, we'll head back to camp to have dinner and spend the night.
Day 6: Amboseli - Nairobi
The end of the safari is here! We'll start the day with breakfast, before starting our journey back to Nairobi. It's not quite over yet though, as on the way we’ll enjoy one last game drive!
