Enjoy the panoramic scenery before continuing towards Maasai Mara National Reserve. Arrive around lunchtime, depending on traffic and road conditions, and check in at your camp or lodge. After lunch, head out for your first afternoon game drive across the reserve’s open grasslands.

Its vast savannahs support lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and many other species. After breakfast, set out for a morning game drive. Depending on wildlife movements and your guide’s route, you may explore different sections of the reserve and search for predators and grazing herds. Enjoy a picnic lunch during the day’s wildlife exploration, then continue with an afternoon game drive. If you travel during the Great Migration season, generally around July to October in the Maasai Mara, you may see large herds of wildebeest and zebras. River crossings are seasonal and cannot be guaranteed. An optional visit to a Maasai community can be arranged at an additional cost, subject to availability and your interest.

Enjoy breakfast before departing Maasai Mara for Lake Nakuru National Park.

Travel through Kenya’s scenic countryside and Great Rift Valley region. After arriving near Lake Nakuru, enjoy lunch and check in at your accommodation. Later, head into the park for an afternoon game drive, subject to arrival time and park access. Lake Nakuru is particularly known for its black and white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes and diverse birdlife. You may also encounter buffaloes, zebras, waterbucks and other wildlife around the lake’s woodland and grassland habitats. Flamingo numbers vary with water levels and food availability, so sightings are not guaranteed. After your game drive, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overnight: Lake Nakuru area.Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, depart Lake Nakuru and travel southeast towards Amboseli National Park, passing through the Great Rift Valley region and the outskirts of Nairobi. This is a longer transfer day, so an early departure is recommended. Arrive at your lodge in the Amboseli area in the afternoon, depending on road conditions and traffic. After lunch and check-in, enjoy an afternoon game drive if time and park access allow. Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds, open plains and seasonal wetlands.

Look for elephants travelling in family groups, as well as lions, hyenas, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and a variety of bird species. The park’s swamps attract wildlife throughout the year, although animal distribution changes with seasonal conditions. After a picnic lunch or a return to your lodge for lunch, depending on your arrangements, continue with an afternoon game drive. Visit suitable viewpoints and open areas for opportunities to photograph elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro when the weather is clear. Return to your lodge for dinner and your final overnight stay in Amboseli. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
