6-Day Best Sopa Lodges Safari

Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Your safari starts with a pick-up at 7:30am from your Nairobi hotel or airport, from where you drive to Amboseli National Park.

You will arrive in Amboseli shortly after noon and check into your lodge/camp. Then, have a hot lunch and time to rest. At 4:00pm, depart for an afternoon game drive.

The highlight of Amboseli is the remarkable concentration of elephants, the most in the world! It is home to over 1600 elephants from 56 different families. Each of the elephants has a name and a photo attached to its name.

After the game drive, we will return to the lodge/camp, freshen up, and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner. Your overnight stay will be at your lodge/camp.

Day 2: Full Day Game Drives in Amboseli National Park

Today's itinerary is flexible, and you can discuss the day's schedule with your guide.

You can have a relaxed breakfast and then depart for a full day game drive, leaving the lodge/camp at around 7:30am. You will have your picnic lunch, which you will enjoy during the day. In the afternoon, return to the lodge/camp.

Alternatively, you can depart at 6:00am on an early morning game drive, return to the lodge/camp for breakfast and relax until midafternoon. Then, at 4:00pm, depart on an afternoon game drive. At 6:30pm, return to the lodge/camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 3: Amboseli to Lake Nakuru National Park through Lake Naivasha

Have breakfast, and then head for Lake Naivasha. You will get to stop at the Rift Valley viewpoint for a scenic photo session and later head to Lake Naivasha. You will arrive in the afternoon in time for lunch.

After lunch, you will head out for a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, followed by a walking safari in the animal sanctuary. Here, you will have a one-on-one encounter with animals like giraffes and zebras. The animals are so close that you can almost touch them!

You will later head to Lake Nakuru National Park.

Your overnight stay is at the lodge.

Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, head out for an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. Highlights include seeing hundreds of black and white rhinos and other wildlife species.

After the game drive, we head to Masai Mara National Reserve. At 5:00pm, Masai Morans (warriors) will pick you up from your accommodation and guide you on a walking safari as you head for a cultural tour of some of the old tribes that still exist.

Later, head back to the lodge/camp, freshen up, and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner and overnight stay at Mara Sopa Lodge.

Between July and October, the Great Rift Valley gets busy. Millions of zebras and wildebeest cross the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory, and in their wake comes a veritable horde of predators.

Day 5: Game Drives in Masai Mara National Reserve

Today's itinerary is flexible, and you can discuss the day's schedule with your guide.

You can have a relaxed breakfast and depart for a full day game drive around the park at 6:30am, carrying a picnic lunch. This will allow you to visit the Mara River, where the migration happens between July and October. Also, you will have a better chance to view wildlife all day and return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

A Masai Mara safari is an unmissable highlight of any holiday to Kenya. There are breathtaking panoramas in every direction, a vast range of wildlife, including the Big Five, and a rich cultural heritage to explore. Kenya's Masai Mara is undoubtedly one of Africa's most incredible safari destinations.

Day 6: Masai Mara to Nairobi

Depending on your program, you will plan your departure from Masai Mara with your guide. You will be transferred to your desired location in Nairobi or the airport for your homebound flight.
