Tour Overview

8-day incredible safari visits the amazing Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru National Parks and the famous Masai Mara National Reserve.

Firstly, visit the renowned Amboseli National Park, the land of giants, home to some of Africa’s oldest and bulkiest Elephants with enormous tusks. Above Amboseli is the jagged dome of Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world.

Then traverse Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake; it’s the highest Lake in the Rift Valley, with the distinctive volcanic outline of Mount Longonot rising to the south. It is a unique place where you can do a boat ride among the hippos.

Afterwards, travel to Lake Nakuru national park is rich in biodiversity and best known for its birdlife and as a refuge for the White Rhino. The avian highlights are the Flamingoes and other birdlife found on the shores of Lake Nakuru. Nakuru offers excellent bird watching and game viewing with all the Big Five except the Elephant.

You are finally ending your journey to the most iconic Masai Mara, which offers awe-inspiring and unforgettable safari experiences spiced by abundant wildlife in the endless plains, including the favourites “Big 5” – Elephants, Lions, Buffalo, rhinos and Leopards.

Tour Itinerary
Day by Day

On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our driver will meet and pick you up, and you will be transferred to your Eka Hotel for rest and leisure.

Pick up from Eka Hotel in Nairobi, then drive to Amboseli National Park. On arrival at the park, enroute the game drive to the lodge taking part in your first game drive along the way. Upon arrival, you will check-in and have lunch.

Later in the afternoon, you will embark on another game drive to get your first view of Mount Kilimanjaro, a massive population of elephants, a wide variety of birds and other breathtaking scenery. Later in the evening, you will return to the lodge for relaxation, dinner and an overnight stay.

Amboseli is at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, at 5895m, and it’s one of the most iconic of Kenya’s parks. It provides a magnificent Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery, it is dwarfed by the coloured, snow-capped peak of Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephants accompanied by lions, buffalo, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons, gazelles, hippos and wildebeest.

This is another exciting day in the Amboseli. We recommend you wake up early to experience exceptional game-watching fashioned by the unparalleled view of Mount Kilimanjaro snowcapped. Then, return to the lodge for a delicious breakfast. After that, you may choose for further game viewing to visit the swamp with its impressive wildlife presence or relax in the lodge. Then, after delicious lunch, you will depart for the afternoon game drive.

Amboseli offers one of the most classic and breathtaking views of the massive Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world. In addition, you will have a chance to visit Observation Hill, which overlooks the park, swamps and, of course, the herds of free-roaming elephants.

You may also choose to visit a Maasai village where you meet the local people and learn about their culture. Later in the evening, you will return to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

After a delicious breakfast, you will enjoy a final game drive in Amboseli National Park as you leave and depart to Lake Naivasha. You will enjoy your lunch as you drive to Lake Naivasha, where you will arrive late in the afternoon for relaxation, dinner and an overnight stay.

You will enjoy a delicious early breakfast and then depart for the boat ride that allows you to explore Lake Naivasha, a vast freshwater lake that supports a great diversity of plains game as well as more than 400 species of bird. Lake Naivasha is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including a healthy population of hippos, a variety of freshwater fish like black bass, tilapia and crayfish, and many fish-eating birds like fish eagles, pelicans, kingfishers and cormorants.

After the boat ride, you will drive to Lake Nakuru National Park; across the equator, south of Bogoria, lies the rift valley’s most famous Lake Nakuru. Known worldwide for its seasonal presence of flamingos, it’s alkaline and is recognised as one of the world’s natural wonders. You will arrive for lunch and an afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harbouring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. The flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction; however, recently, their presence has varied seasonally. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingoes in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Later drive to the lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

An early morning drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve, it holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. Along the way, you will enjoy scenic views of the Great Rift Valley; you will have a stop for hot lunch before proceeding with the game drive in the iconic Masai Mara.

You will enjoy an afternoon game viewing until sunset as you track the Big Five animals and numerous plains games. Then, later in the evening, drive to your camp for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Kenya’s most sought-after game-viewing areas. The reserve itself covers 700sq miles of magnificent wilderness. It is the Africa of your imagination, with endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands studded with hazy hills.

After a delicious breakfast, you will depart for the day discovering the Mara game reach areas in search of the Big Five animals and the wildebeest migration. However, you can opt for separate morning and afternoon game drives and return late in the evening for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion and abundant resident wildlife, and it’s one of the few places where it’s possible to see the big five during a morning’s game drive. In addition, many cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one’s vehicle, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.

In the Mara, the most spectacular natural world event happens, ‘‘The Great Annual Migration,” of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following their heels are the savannah predators: lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vulture.

After a delicious breakfast in the lodge, pack your bags and say farewell as you depart to Nairobi. Then, again, wave goodbye and embark on your final game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Your driver guide will drive you to Nairobi and drop you off at the place of your choice.
