What's this trip about?

    This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation.  When you think of Africa, Kenya probably comes to mind. The East African country has all the makings of a classic safari: lone acacia trees amidst vast plains, snow-capped mountains, and animals galore. Kenya is the Africa of your wildest dreams.  On this 7-night adventure, travel to three natural reserves and parks exploring beautiful landscapes and diverse wildlife. Begin in the capital of Nairobi, where you will see a modern and bustling city contrasting with Kenya's great outdoors.  You will then start your first safari adventure at Amboseli National Park on the border with Tanzania. With clear views of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is the perfect place to start your Kenyan safari adventure. Then it's off to Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru National Park. See hippos grazing the shallow waters in Lake Naivasha and millions of pink flamingos at Lake Nakuru. Finally, you'll end your incredible escorted trip to Kenya at Masai Mara National Reserve, where you'll be almost guaranteed to see the Big 5.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Nairobi!

Arrive in Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital. Enjoy a transfer to your hotel, then spend the remainder of your day at leisure. For a culture fix, head to the National Museum which boasts an impressive array of traditional and contemporary African art. 

Then return to your hotel and gear up for an exciting adventure through Kenya's natural wonders.

Day 2 Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Today, you'll collect your belongings and depart to Amboseli National Park for a game drive. With the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in the back drop, Amboseli National Park contains five main wildlife habitats: open plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps, and marshland.

Day 3 Amboseli National Park

Today, enjoy your last full day in Kenya continuing to explore Amboseli National Park. This is the best place to spot elephants up close as they march in a line across the plains. But don't get too close, as elephants are very protective of their young!

Day 4 Amboseli National Park - Lake Naivasha

After breakfast, continue your safari to Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley. This freshwater lake bordered by thick papyrus trees is one of the primary watering holes for the surrounding wildlife. The lake and its surroundings, rich in natural bounty, ferti...

Day 5 Lake Naivasha

Begin today with a boat trip on the lake, subject to water levels. Then travel to Lake Nakuru for lunch and an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is known as the place where millions of flamingos and pelicans congregate on the lake during peak season. It also has Kenya's largest population of rhinos!

Day 6 Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve

Today, head off to Kenya's best known wildlife reserve, Masai Mara. Spend the afternoon on a game drive through grassy savannah, observing some of the 95 species of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that call it home. During the months of July to October, more ...

Day 7 Masai Mara National Reserve

Continue exploring the Masai Mara National Reserve. With luck, you might even see all of the Big 5: leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo and rhinos! These animals are among the fiercest predators in the African wild. 

Day 8 Depart Kenya

After breakfast, depart back to Nairobi and board your flight home. Scroll through your photos and relive memories that are sure to last a lifetime!
