majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. Avisit to
the Maasai villages in between the game drives can be
arranged with our guide. Dinner and overnight stay at

Amboseli means ‘the place of water’ in Maasai language.
The park has an endless supply of water which is
filtered through thousands of meters of volcanic rock
from Mount Kilimanjaro. Animal species seen include
elephant, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, impala and
leopard. The birdlife seen here includes pelican, bee
eater, kingfisher, African fish eagle and pygmy falcon.

excellent accommodation facilities.

to the Aberdares to enjoy the experience of staying in a
Tree Hotel or lodge overlooking floodlit waterholes
where wildlife and birds regularly visit. Dinner and a
well deserved sleep thereafter. Dinner and Overnight
stay at the Tree Tops Hotel
Over 40 species of wildlife inhabit the Aberdare
mountain ranges, hiding in the heavily forested slopes
and in the upper moor lands. The Aberdares is noted as a
rhino sanctuary but keep an eye out for the elusive rare
bongo, which is best, spotted in the upper bamboo zone
and hypericum scrub.
Day 5 – Samburu National Reserve
After breakfast we proceed further north across the
Equator to the edge of the Northern Frontier. Arrival
will be in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive
returning in time for a sun downer and dinner at the
Samburu lodge.
Samburu is part of a lava plain that includes a diverse
landscape of thorn scrub, red dirt, dried river beds,
broken volcanic rock, steep hills, and rocky
outcroppings. This reserve is becoming one of Kenya's
most admired stops after the Mara. Sights of the
peculiarly branched doum palms and thorn trees give an
unusual look to the region.
Day 6 – Samburu National Reserve
The whole day will be spent relaxing and leisurely
exploring the Samburu National Reserve through morning
and afternoon game drives. You may opt to do some of the
activities offered at the lodges and a visit to Samburu
Villages. Dinner and overnight stay at Samburu Lodge
The light and vast openness creates a lonesome panoramic
beauty and the permanent water supply acts like a lure
for the abundant species found here. The region is home
to the uncommon Grevy’s zebra with huge fury ears,
gerenuk antelope standing on hind legs to feed, Somali
ostriches with distinct blue legs and the shy Oryx.
Elephant and crocodile are guaranteed sightings,
excellent bird watching with numerous varieties of
weaverbirds and the martial eagle. Leopard sighting is

Nakuru National park. Lunch at a lodge followed by a
full afternoon game drives at the Kenya's Park famed by
its numerous species of birdlife. Dinner and overnight
stay at Flamingo Hill Tented Camp.
Lake Nakuru's claim to fame is anchored on its
flamingo's and the over 400 species of birds found here.
The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the rift
valley. The sight of the at times millions of flamingos
is quite spectacular. From a distance the lake appears
ringed in pink. The Lake has also earned a reputation as
an important haven for endangered species- particularly
the Rothschild Giraffe and the black and white rhino.
Lions, waterbuck, buffalo and baboons are all residents
here.

Mara in time for lunch at Keekorok Lodge. Full afternoon

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.

fantastic orange tinted sunsets and you will definitely
want to capture this moment while sipping on a sun
