Amboseli
and Mara
DAY 1: AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
Early Morning start and drive to
Amboseli National Park, check in at your accommodation, day spent at leisure or
have an afternoon game drive.
Amboseli National Park is situated
due south of Nairobi, Most of the park consist of a dry ,ancient lake bed and
fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area
there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol kenya,
Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow barked acacias
and phoenix palms.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
DAY 2: EXPLORE AMBOSELI
Rising early for good views of Mount
Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit with packed lunch provided,
an optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit
reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred
rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant
experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possible
the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephant at close
range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps
must form the highlights of any Safari.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
DAY 3: AMBOSELI - LAKE NAIVASHA
An early morning drive to Lake
Naivasha, it is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. At
1910m (6200f), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of
papyrus (ancient Egyptian once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the
papyrus as a perch, herons hide in it while searching for food. Naivasha is yet
another area popular for bird watching (over 400species have been recorded). It
is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to
sail, water ski and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is
too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the
lake shore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
DAY 4: AMBOSELI - MASAI MARA
An early morning drive to Masai 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. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti
ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands
of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. Have lunch en-route, evening is
spent at leisure.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
DAY 5: MASAI MARA
Today we have a full day game drive,
with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned
lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife and its one of the few places
where it's possible to see the big five during a morning's game drive. Many of
the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle
and several even climb onto the roof to get better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16
species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species
of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying
bird), and 9 species of sun birds.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
DAY 6: MASAI MARA - NAIROBI
We wake up at 6am for a sun rise
game drive. At 9am, we drive back to accommodation for brunch then depart for
Nairobi. Lunch en-route and arrival in Nairobi at late afternoon.
This tour can depart any day of the
year.
