THE BIGGEST AND BEST OF EAST AFRICA IN 10 DAYS
The Grandest Parks, Lakes, and Wildlife

FULL DAY AT AMBOSELI PARK

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

As you’ll quickly discover, we like to get up early on while on safari – it’s the most peaceful time of the day when the gentle morning light softly plays on the fields and the wildlife edges out looking for its breakfast.

We’ll enjoy our breakfast and then set off in our 4 x 4, exploring for more elephants but also lions, cheetah, fox, monkey, baboon, zebra, and more.

Amboseli is known for its profuse and varied birdlife. Your guide will be looking to spot egrets, crake, heron, falcon, eagle, and Egyptian goose by the lakes and marshes, dotting the park.

We might take a drive up Observation Hill, step out from our 4 x 4 and look about the park for buffalo, hippo, pelican, and of course, the many elephants throughout the park.

As the sun’s light begins to fade, we’ll turn again to great Kilimanjaro to look for its snowy summit peaking out from the clouds.

You’ll spend your second night at Amboseli at your safari lodge or tented camp.

AMBOSELI – LAKE NAIVASHA  (326 Km – Appx. 5 hrs.)

Our 4 x 4 will next take us to lovely Lake Naivasha, a freshwater retreat with surrounding green lands harboring antelope, zebra, and more.

Want to go on a bicycling safari? Nearby Hell’s Gate Park offers the chance to do just that! Pedal past zebra, giraffe, and antelope for a very unique perspective as they graze just feet away.

We’ll spend the night at the Lake Naivasha safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.

LAKE NAIVASHA – MASAI MARA (285 km Appx. 5-6 Hrs.)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Let’s begin our day with a fun boating safari over the lake’s smooth waters, gliding by curious hippos as we take in the grazing impala and buffalo on the shore.

Then, we’ll head out for Kenya’s most popular park, the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve.

After we arrive at the park, we should have time for an afternoon game drive. You’ll get a feel for this green sprawling park, adorned with Africa’s distinctive acacia trees.

The Mara is a busy ecosystem, one of the richest in East Africa. During your time here don’t be surprised to see great numbers of wildlife in a variety not experienced elsewhere.

We’ll spend the next two nights at the Masai Mara at our safari lodge or tented camp.

FULL DAY – MASAI MARA

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today shall be a game viewing extravaganza!

The Mara as is popularly known remains the most exciting wildlife eco-system in the Natural world.

It is host to the highest and varied concentration of wild animals than any other park in the region.

The scenic appeal of this tree studded savannah plains, its moderate climate and diversity of wild game species makes it a one stop shop for game viewing activities.

We shall traverse the reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing   encountering the big five and more of the lesser game.

You shall enjoy a picnic lunch by the Mara river as we watch hippos & crocodiles or maybe the great migration (July –October)

Overnight shall be at your Maasai Mara safari lodge/ tented camp

MASAI MARA  – SERENGETI  (139 Km – Appx. 3 – 4 hrs.)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Let’s enjoy one more game drive through this bountiful reserve before we cross the border into Tanzania to visit another world-class park, Serengeti National Park.

Remember all those wildebeests and zebra herding into the Masai Mara? This is the park from which they came, searching for taller grasses and water for their survival.

The Serengeti is immense with boundless wildlife, big cats and elephants by the thousands, and grazers…  up to several million.

We will have many opportunities to view this wildlife over our three days in this immense park.

We’ll spend the next two nights at Serengeti at our safari lodge or tented camp.

FULL DAY AT SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

A full day game viewing drive as we explore this vast nature endowed wildlife reserve.

Options of morning and afternoon or full day game viewing sessions are available to you.

The annual wildebeest migration is Serengeti’s most famous attraction.

It is also home to a pride of its lions which have been fitted with radio-transmitter collars so that their movements may be tracked.

Other wildlife you may see includes cheetah, zebra, giraffe, Thompson and Grant’s gazelle, Eland, Impala, Klipspringer, Hippo and Warthog.

Overnight at your Serengeti Safari lodge or tented camp.

NGORONGORO  – TARANGIRE  (180 Km – Appx. 4 hrs.)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

You will enjoy this lightly touristed park as it is short on other safari-goers and long on wildlife. This park even has its own smaller migration – about 250,000 animals. Look for lions, leopards, elephants, impalas, warthogs, ostriches, and lots more.

And during your game drives here you can’t miss the park’s famous baobab trees – a highly unusual species with an inverted trunk and wild branches that resemble a root structure. The poor tree appears like it was planted upside down.

We will spend our final safari night at our Tarangire lodge or tented camp.

Hard to believe but it’s our final day on safari. One more game drive around the park and then we’re headed to the Tanzanian town of Arusha. There, your driver/guide will bring you to your hotel, the airport, or another place of your choosing.
