Experience destinations

DAY 1: NAIROBI- TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK

We pick you up from your hotel and depart by road for Tsavo West National Park. We arrive on time for lunch then an optional afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in Tsavo National Park, offering many attractions apart from its wildlife. The foremost is the famous Mzima Springs where close to 230 million litres of cool crystal clear water flows out of the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The water is believed to originate from Chuyulu Hills, via an underground river. Dinner and overnight.Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's request.

DAY 2: TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK FULL DAY

After breakfast, we depart for a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. Other interesting places to visit are the Roaring Rocks, which derive their name from the wind that hurtles through them. From here there are wonderful views of Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face. Similar views can be experienced from the poacher's lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater, less than 200years old composed of black coke is equally worth visiting and can be climbed if one is interested. The area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that is as agile as its Swahili name mbuzi mawe(mountain goat). In the south-west corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe through which the Kenyan-Tanzanian border runs.Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's on request.

DAY 3: TSAVO- AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, you depart early morning and drive to Amboseli National Park. After lunch, you set off for an afternoon game drive.Amboseli National Park is situated on the south of Nairobi and mostly consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Dinner and overnight. Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's request.

DAY 4: AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK FULL DAY

Rising early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit and leaving the lodge with packed lunch for the full day game drive. An optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any Safari. Dinner and overnight. Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's request.Optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast.

DAY 5: AMBOSELI- LAKE NAIVASHA

You depart early morning to Lake Naivasha which is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. The water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptian once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, herons hide in it while searching for food. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching with over 400 species recorded. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgeling wine industry. Dinner and overnight.Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's request.

DAY 6: LAKE NAIVASHA- MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE

An early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve which holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight. Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options or downgraded to more economic ones on client's request.

DAY 7: MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESORT FULL DAY

After breakfast, we have a full day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife and it is one of the few places where it's possible to see the big five during morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these are 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.Dinner and overnight.

It's alkaline and recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be close to two million flamingoes in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore.
