Amboseli National Park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa.

Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephant accompanied by a kaleidoscope of other fabulous beasts -lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle hippo and wildebeest to name but a few. There are also over 400 species of birds, all manner of reptilian, flora and fauna and some of the most soul-searing views in Africa.

An early morning game drive allows you to become better acquainted with Amboseli and its wildlife. Wherever you travel within the park you will remain under the watchful gaze of the imposing Mount Kilimanjaro.

The vast herds of elephants for which Amboseli is known, seem dwarfed by comparison. Today, we leave the lodge for a full day game drive in the park with picnic lunch in the bush.

The highest of all the Rift Valley lakes, Lk. Naivasha is a beautiful shallow freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus reeds. The waters of the lake draw great array of bird life to its shoreline. Buffalo wallow in the swamps, whilst the large hippo population laze their days in the shallows. Giraffe wander among the acacia, whilst the Colobus monkeys swing from the green canopies above.

Lunch will be served at the lodge. Balance of the afternoon at leisure. Later on, we will proceed on a Sundowner boat ride in the lake, to view pools of hippos and an array of birdlife that inhabits the lake, over 150 species have been recorded here.

DAY 5: JULY -SEPT-LAKE NAIVASHA-MASAI MARA- 250Km/ 5-6hrs

After breakfast, we depart for Masai Mara………

Ascending through the Western wall of the Great Rift Valley floor, we reach arguably Kenya’s most celebrated natural attraction-

The Masai Mara game reserve, a 1,500 sq. km slab of open Savannah dotted with acacia trees-the Kenyan section of the wildly beautiful Serengeti plains, teems with wildlife. Being in the Mara has been described by some authorities as ‘’ being in the New York of the natural world’’ You will spend the next 02 nights here to explore.

The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant.

It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.

Lunch will be followed by an evening game drive to dusk. Dinner and overnight at AA Mara Lodge | Enkorok Mara Camp| Ol Moran Camp | Mara Chui Camp - Meal Plan (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
