Lake Nakuru is home to a huge population of pink flamingos and 400 species of birds while Amboseli is known for the large herds of elephants and most especially for its stunning view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Our driver and office representative will meet you at the airport in Nairobi. After customs procedures and a briefing, we proceed to Masai Mara, descend the escarpment and drive via Narok. We arrive at Masai Mara for lunch at the lodge followed by an afternoon game drive.The Masai Mara is famous for its black-maned lions and yearly migration of wildebeests. We return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
The whole day will be spent on game viewing and exploring the park’s high concentration of wild animals. Enormous herds of grazing animals, including the elusive cheetah, are found on the plains while leopard hides amidst the acacia boughs.In the afternoon, an optional visit to a Maasai village can be arranged (the entrance fee is not included in the package). You will be welcomed by the locals singing and dancing, a sacred ritual that has formed their rich tradition. Part of the tour includes a glimpse into their local homes and way of life.
After breakfast, we drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the Rift Valley's most famous lake, Lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingos, this alkaline lake is recognized as being one of the Natural Wonders of the World.Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingoes in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep-pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Later, you will return for dinner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, exit the park as a long, easy drive to Amboseli National Park awaits you today. There will be stops to view the Great Rift Valley and other scenic spots along the safari route. Stop and enjoy lunch at a restaurant along the way. You'll have a short game-viewing drive with possible views of the Mount Kilimanjaro peaks at Amboseli if the weather permits.
You'll have an early pre-breakfast game-viewing drive in the national park. If the weather permits and the clouds shear off, you'll be mesmerized by the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro and its gleaming snow-capped peaks. Today will be spent exploring the Amboseli National Park on unlimited game-viewing drives.
After breakfast, leave Amboseli for Nairobi, arriving late in the afternoon for drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
