4 nights 5 Days Amboseli, Naivasha,
Maasai Mara
This stunning private safari takes you to three of Kenya’s finest game viewing destinations. We start our journey at the foot of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro in beautiful Amboseli National Park. Travelling north, we reach the shores of Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya’s few freshwater lakes and home to a myriad of bird species, Hippos, Wildebeest and Impalas. From Lake Naivasha, we head off to the highlight of our safari adventure: famous Maasai Mara. Here, we come face-to-face with Africa’s BIG FIVE.
Â
Day 1: Nairobi- Amboseli (Drive Time 5+ hours)
Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel or the Nairobi Airport at 7:00am. We then together proceed to Amboseli National Park via Maasai land. On a clear day we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach Amboseli. Upon entering, we enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then we set out for a game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of Elephants – you’ll often find plenty of them standing knee-deep in the water, spraying water, eating and bathing in the swamps to cool off. Predators stalk the herds of grazing animals, recreating the age-old drama of life and death under the African sun, in a setting so lushly beautiful.
Cheetahs, Buffaloes, Giraffes, different types of Gazelle and rich plains game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down on Amboseli NP, we return to our accommodation for dinner.
Day 2: Amboseli -Lake Naivasha Drive time 6+ hours
We depart magical Amboseli National Park for beautiful Lake Naivasha, stopping underway for lunch in Nairobi. Lake Naivasha is the highest-lying lake in the eastern arm of the East African Rift Valley and one of two freshwater lakes in Kenya. The lake is a paradise for all sorts of water birds: Pelicans, Herons, Eagles, Geese and Ducks are found in plentiful numbers. Hippos are taking baths or rest lazily around the shores of the lake. Wildebeest (Gnus) and Impalas graze close by.
We arrive in good time for an afternoon boat ride (optional, at an extra cost) to watch the sun set over Lake Naivasha. Navigating right through herds of Hippos is a rather special experience that – we guarantee for that – you won’t easily forget. Alternatively, a nature walk at Crescent Island is an excellent way to see wild animals. The island is a private game sanctuary, and home to Zebras, Gazelles, Monkeys, Hares, Bucks and Giraffes. In the evening, we return to our lodge for a delicious dinner.
Day 3: Lake Naivasha-Maasai Mara Drive time 4+ hours
Breakfast and depart for Maasai Mara Game Reserve which is the most outstanding game reserve in Kenya and home to all the “Big 5”. After lunch it’s time for afternoon game drive to discover what this amazing sanctuary has to offer.Â

Day 4: Maasai Mara
Early morning breakfast and depart the lodge with your packed lunch boxes for a full day game viewing across the rich tree studded grassland and rolling hills. At lunchtime, our guide will pick a scenic (and safe) spot where you will enjoy your lunch and hear animals howling, birds chirping and the mighty Mara River flowing across the savannah bringing life to the park. After watching more of the spectacle that never gets dull, transfer back to your lodge. Dinner and overnight stay in Masai Mara.                                                                                         Note :- On this day clients can choose to have AM & PM game drives this needs to be organized with our driver guide the day before
