Amboseli, Mt. Kenya, Samburu,
Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru and
Maasai Mara safari |
 Day 1:
Amboseli National Park
We depart Nairobi in the morning and
drive south through Masai country to
the plains below Mt. Kilimanjaro
where Amboseli is situated. After a
stopover lunch at the lodge we
proceed into the scenic Amboseli
National Park for a game drive
returning to the lodge in the
evening for a sun downer.
The waters from melted snow drain
down Mt. Kilimanjaro under lava
flows and surface in Amboseli,
creating a green belt of swampland
amidst dusty plains. Here buffaloes,
lions, gazelles, cheetahs,
wildebeest, hyenas, jackals,
warthogs, Masai Giraffes, zebra,
baboon, hippos and waterbuck can be
seen against the backdrop of the
magnificent snow-capped mountain.
Day 2: Amboseli National Park
After a leisurely breakfast, we
explore the park through morning and
afternoon game drives. We have
sufficient time for relaxation at
the lodge, complete with the
majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro in the
background.
At 329 sq km Amboseli is a small
park and lacks the profusion of
animal species found in the Mara,
but the landscape provides limited
cover so we have better chances of
seeing some of the larger predators.
Day 3: Aberdares Ranges
We leave Amboseli, viewing game as
we drive via Nairobi to the
Aberdares to enjoy the experience of
staying in a Tree Hotel or lodge
overlooking floodlit waterholes
where wildlife and birds regularly
visit. Dinner and a well deserved
sleep thereafter.
Over 40 species of wildlife inhabit
the Aberdare mountain ranges, hiding
in the heavily forested slopes and
in the upper moor lands. The
Aberdares is noted as a rhino
sanctuary but keep an eye out for
the elusive rare bongo, which is
best, spotted in the upper bamboo
zone and hypericum scrub.
Day 4: Samburu National Reserve
After breakfast we proceed further
north across the Equator to the edge
of the Northern Frontier. Arrival
will be in time for lunch and an
afternoon game drive returning in
time for a sun downer and dinner at
the lodge.
Day 5: Samburu National Reserve
The whole day will be spent relaxing
and leisurely exploring the Samburu
National Reserve through morning and
afternoon game drives. You may opt
to do some of the activities offered
at the lodges for a small extra
cost.
Day 6: Mount Kenya
We enjoy a final early morning game
drive in the Samburu reserve then
depart for the Mt. Kenya region.
Arrival at the l odge in time for you
to enjoy the facilities of the
lodge, explore the Mount Kenya
National Park or take an optional
tour to the nearby Sweetwaters
Reserve which is home to
Chimpanzees.
Day 7: Lake Baringo via Lake
Bogoria
Morning drive via the Nyahururu
Falls down to the shallow soda Lake
Bogoria and later to the beautiful
lake Baringo where you may enjoy the
pleasure of an evening bird walk.
Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Day 8: Nakuru National Park
We enjoy a morning boat ride in
search of hippo, crocodile, and fish
eagle. After a sumptuous lunch, we
then proceed to Lake Nakuru and the
Nakuru National Park for an
afternoon game drive.
Day 9: Masai Mara National
Reserve
After an early breakfast, we depart
for Masai Mara National Reserve via
the Great Rift Valley arriving in
time for lunch at the lodge. We then
proceed on an afternoon game drive
returning to the lodge for a
delicious sundowner, and dinner at
the lodge or luxury tented camp.
10 & 11: Masai Mara National
Reserve
The next two days shall be spent
viewing game, in the early morning
hours and in the evenings as this is
when we have the best chances of
seeing wildlife. The ultimate action
here is without doubt the annual
wildebeest exodus in July and August
when millions of these grass eaters
move north from the Serengeti in
search of lusher grass before
turning south again in October.
Day 12:Maasai Mara - Nairobi
After a final early morning game
drive we depart for Nairobi arriving
in the afternoon hours. |
