7 Days Incredible parks Kenya safari from Mombasa beach
Explore Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru & Masai Reserve

TSAVO EAST – AMBOSELI (300 km, Approx. 5 hrs.)

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We’ll rise for an early breakfast and game drive as we depart the reserve for Amboseli National Park, nestled at the foot of the largest mountain in Africa and the largest free-standing mountain in the world, Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Amboseli is home to perhaps the most concentrated population of free-ranging elephants anywhere. We guarantee you will see them here, proudly marching about in their daily business.

In this smaller park, the game is easier to spot, and you’ve got a very good chance of spotting wildebeest, zebras and even lions and cheetahs.

We offer an optional visit to the local Maasai people if you wish. Your guide can easily make all the arrangements.

You’ll stay tonight at your Amboseli lodge or tented camp.

AMBOSELI – LAKE NAIVASHA  ( 340 km – Approx. 7 hrs)

The sun will greet us as we rise early and with luck, the clouds covering Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped summit will part for us.

We’re off on a final game drive and to take one last look at Amboseli’s famous elephants.

But now we’re headed to the Rift Valley and its astonishing escarpments. On the way, Nairobi beckons and we’ll stop at the capital for lunch at one of its distinctive restaurants.

Arriving at Lake Naivasha, we’ll have time to take a boat safari across this high-altitude, fresh-water lake. We’ll sail by hippos as we spot the park’s busy birdlife and even see zebra, antelope and others grazing on the shore.

We’ll spend one night here at Naivasha at your choice of accommodation.

LAKE NAIVASHA  – LAKE NAKURU (80 kms Approx. 1.5 hrs)

The Lake Naivasha area is close to other natural parks and preserves filled with wildlife. We’ll take a bicycle ride to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park for a most unique safari experience, riding or walking by the peacefully foraging animals of the park. This is a wonderful way to get reasonably close to the wildlife.

Afterward, a quick one-hour drive will bring us to Lake Nakuru National Park, an appealing refuge of large animals, an important rhino sanctuary, and an alkaline lake, known for its birdlife, especially flamingoes.

In what other park could you spot the bright fuchsia birds, plus lion, cheetah and endangered black rhinos?

We’ll spend the night at Lake Nakuru.

LAKE NAKURU- MASAI MARA (290km – Approx. 6 hrs)

Today’s the day we embark to the mighty Masai Mara! We’ll be up early and enjoy a quick game drive as we exit Lake Nakuru.

En route, we’ll partake of lunch and arrive at the park in time for an afternoon drive, taking in our first glimpse of the park’s distinctive rolling hills and deep savannahs.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is a very special eco-system. Not only is it Kenya’s most popular park, it also serves as a lifeline for the area’s natural migration of millions of wildebeests and zebra.

This will be the first of two nights spent at the Mara Reserve.

FULL DAY MASAI MARA

Get ready for an unforgettable day of game drives and intense animal viewing. The Masai Mara is blessed as one of the most diverse wildlife and well-populated regions in Africa. Besides the “Big Five”, it is home to thousands, and sometimes during the Great Migration (July – October) millions of herding wildebeests and zebra, making their way across the river in search of sustenance.

We’ll fill our day with animal watching on the great savannahs dotted with beautiful acacia trees and down by the Mara River where the animals cross into the park. There, we’ll spot the hippo and crocodile in their natural habitat.

We offer several optional activities to enhance your enjoyment of the Mara experience. If you’d like, ask your guide to arrange a visit with the local Maasai people in a nearby village. You can see their bomas up close and learn about their herding lifestyle.

For an unforgettable memory of the Mara, take an optional hot air balloon safari over the dawning plains and watch as the reserve comes to life as you soar above. Your guide can also arrange for this very special moment.

This is our final night of safari which we will spend here at the Mara.

MASAI MARA – NAIROBI (260 kms, Appx. 6 hrs)

Meal Plan: Breakfast

After a leisurely breakfast at your lodge/camp, your dedicated driver guide will assist you with the checkout process and proceed to Nairobi – Kenya’s colorful capital city.

On the way, your guide will point out the Longonot extinct volcano which is a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s and its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong’ot, meaning “mountains of many spurs” or “steep ridges “.

You can opt to drive via Naivasha for lunch/excursions at an extra cost or drive straight to Nairobi and pass by Kiambethu farm for the tea farm tour inclusive of a three-course buffet lunch (at an extra cost) OR drive straight back to the capital and later transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International airport for your back home.

We’ll bring you to either the airport in Nairobi or the train station, depending on your choice of transport back to Mombasa.

Your flight departs at 1830 hrs., arriving at Mombasa at 1930 hrs.

In Mombasa, we’ll meet you and bring you back to your resort or hotel.

It has been our pleasure to share the best of Kenya’s parks with you. Let us know when you’re next ready to go out on safari!
