Day 1, Masai Mara
From Nairobi, head off into the Kenyan wilderness towards the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. After setting up camp, enjoy your first night under the enormous African sky listening to the sounds of the wild.

Day 3, Masai Mara
Spend a full day exploring this vast park known for its huge stocks of animals including the Big 5 - lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo as well as many other impressive animals and fantastic birdlife. This is mother nature at her best, and the Mara offers prime game viewing and great photography.

Day 3, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru
From the Mara head to Lake Nakuru National Park for more game viewing around the lake shore. The soda lake is famous for its flocks of flamingos that feed on the algae found in the waters, and the park is an important sanctuary for both black and white rhino. It’s also rather well-off for leopard that are often, and unusually, spotted during daylight hours in the acacia forest at the entrance to the park. We overnight in the nearby town of Nakuru.

Day 4 - 6, Mt. Kenya, Samburu Game Reserve
Travel north to the arid lowlands around the foothills of Mt. Kenya, at 5,199m, the highest mountain in Kenya, and the second highest in Africa after Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania. We arrive at our camp near the Samburu National Park, on the fringes of the Northern Frontier District, considered to be one of the more remote Kenyan parks. The scenery here bears a striking difference from the fertile farmland in the south of Kenya, but the desolate and sandy landscape is the preferred habitat for some mammals well-adapted to the harsh environment. Among these are Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the gerenuk, an unusual antelope that spends much of its time on its hind legs reaching up to eat in the bushes.

Day 7 - 8, Amboseli National Park
Travel south again via Nairobi and spend two nights in the scenic Amboseli National Park and capture the essence of Africa with its panoramic views of wildlife roaming in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro only 25km from the park in Tanzania. Amboseli’s landscape is of dry and dusty open plains trampled by hundreds of animals but it is well-watered thanks to the melting snow on the top of Kili that feeds the springs in the park.

Day 9, Amboseli, Nairobi
After a morning game drive we head back
to the big city of Nairobi where our magical safari ends.
