Your week of adventure starts with a warm welcome from your guide at your agreed Nairobi pickup point. Settle into your private safari minivan and head south towards Amboseli, with lunch planned around the journey.
If arrival time allows, head out for your first afternoon game drive. Look for elephants on the plains and, when the skies are clear, enjoy the sight of Kilimanjaro rising behind them. What a way to begin your safari!
Dinner and your first of two nights at Hunter’s Luxury Manor, outside the national park.
A whole day in elephant country awaits. Head into Amboseli National Park with your guide and explore its open plains and wetlands, looking for elephants, giraffes, buffalo and colourful birdlife.
Enjoy a picnic lunch and time to pause for photographs or simply take it all in. Your guide will follow the day’s wildlife activity and your interests. Keep an eye on the mountain too; a clear view of Kilimanjaro is a lovely bonus.
Dinner and overnight at Hunter’s Luxury Manor.
After breakfast, set off for Lake Naivasha with rest stops along this longer drive. The change of scenery is part of the adventure as you leave Amboseli behind and head towards the Rift Valley.
Enjoy a boat safari on the lake, watching for hippos and waterbirds, followed by the animal sanctuary walk listed in your confirmed itinerary. Your guide will coordinate the activities around your arrival.
Dinner and overnight at Avian Court Hotel, Superior Room.
Ready for a different kind of safari? This morning, swap the minivan for a bicycle and enjoy the scenery beneath the cliffs of Hell’s Gate National Park. Follow your guide’s safety instructions and enjoy exploring at ground level.
Walking routes depend on conditions and access, and gorge access is not guaranteed. Later, continue to Nakuru town for dinner and a comfortable night. Your Lake Nakuru game drive is tomorrow morning.
Overnight at Eagle Palace Hotel.
Start the day exploring Lake Nakuru National Park. Look for rhinos and giraffes among the woodland and grassland, and enjoy the lakeside birdlife. Flamingo numbers vary with the lake conditions.
Then it is onwards to the Masai Mara for the final two nights of your safari. An arrival game drive depends on timing and gate access. Your included Maasai village visit will be scheduled during your Mara stay, giving you time to meet members of the community and learn about their way of life.
Dinner and overnight at Endeem Mara Resort, Standard Room, near Oloolaimutia Gate.
Today is all about the Masai Mara. Enjoy a full day of game drives with a picnic lunch, so you can make the most of your time on the plains. Looking for big cats, hoping to photograph wildlife or happy to see what the day brings? Let your guide know what excites you.
The Great Migration is seasonal, and river crossings depend on nature. If you fancy an extra treat, ask us about a separately priced hot air balloon safari, subject to availability and weather.
Return to Endeem Mara Resort for dinner and your final safari night in a Standard Room.
Enjoy breakfast before the journey back to Nairobi, with comfort stops along the way and plenty of memories to take home. We will agree your hotel or airport drop off and check your onward flight timing before booking.
