Itinerary

1. Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

   • Pick up at 7.30 am and then drive to Amboseli National Park.

   • Arrive here in time for lunch, followed by afternoon game drives. Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa’s highest peak, this National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust”, and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. Nature lovers can explore five different habitats here, ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulphur springs, the savannah and woodlands. 

   • One can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.

2. Day 2: Amboseli National Park

   • Enjoy a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. Amboseli offers some of the best opportunities to see African wildlife because the vegetation is sparse due to the long dry months. Amboseli National Park is home to many African elephants, cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest, among other African animals.

   • There is also a host of large and small Kenyan birds to see if you keep your eyes open and stop at every sighting spot.

3. Day 3: Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha

   • After breakfast, go for optional morning game drives and then drive to Lake Naivasha.

   • Arrive in time for lunch, followed by afternoon game drives at Cresent Island. This island is private, secure and patrolled by various guides, who can accompany anyone who wishes to come here for a guided walk. Surrounded by water, it is actually a peninsular area and is accessible by boat from East or West as well as by road. The shores host abundant birdlife, especially huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. It is not fenced to allow the wildlife to come on the mainland as they lose their habitat areas to development and the ever-increasing population.

4. Day 4: Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
