Itinerary

Day 3Amboseli National Park

Set off early and head to Amboseli National Park, located south on the border of Kenya and Tanzania. After checking in to your lodge, head out for an afternoon game drive. Experience the surreal game viewing experience in the dry Amboseli plains with the towering Mt Kilimanjaro in the background. Enjoy sightings of large herds of elephants and the Big 5.

Day 4Amboseli National Park

Delve deeper into the park, and lookout for species you may have missed on your first drive. The park is dotted with papyrus swamps that are a hub of activity for many large mammals such as the elephants, rhinos and hippos.

Day 5Lake Naivasha

Set off early and drive to Lake Naivasha located in the Great rift valley. The lake is a bird haven and is a popular rest stop for safari travelers in transit to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. You have the option to rest or choose from a number of activities below.

Add-on activities

Take a boat safari
The most popular attraction is taking a guided boat safari on the Lake. The lake is home to a variety of birds from pelicans to kingfishers and other smaller and brightly colored birds. The waters are also home to hippos, and along the shore you will spot Cape buffalos and other herbivores.

Explore Hell’s Gate National Park.
Considered one of Kenya’s most naturally beautiful parks, with spectacular landscapes and scenery. Hell’s Gate national park is not as intimidating as its name suggests. The park is made up of unique volcanic formations consisting of red earth, towering pillars and cliffs. You can hike some of the scenic canyons or take a mountain bike ride on its dusty roads.

Walk with animals at Crescent Island
Combine a boat tour with a visit to Crescent Island. There are no predators residing in the sanctuary, therefore you can literally walk on foot among Zebras, Giraffes and Wildebeest on the Island.
