6-Day Magical Wildlife Tour

Early in the morning, you will be picked up from your city hotel in Nairobi by your driver/guide who will welcome you and provide a briefing about your safari. Afterwards, you will make your way to Amboseli National Park at the foot of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. You will arrive at your accommodation in Amboseli in time for lunch. After check-in, you may go swimming or take an afternoon siesta. At 4:00 pm, you will go for an exciting, afternoon game drive. Amboseli is synonymous with two particular things—majestic herds of elephants and glorious views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, Amboseli National Park is one of the most popular parks in Kenya. It is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. On a clear evening, you can catch a view of the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. All meals and your overnight stay will be at Ol Tukai Lodge.

You will set off for another extensive game drive, and bask under the sun while taking in the magnificent view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is an excellent place to view a multitude of wildlife. The giants here are the great herds of elephants-hundreds of them. Protected from poachers, they carry their massive tusks with pride as they gather at predictable watering holes, delighting the many who come to Amboseli National Park to view these noble creatures. Amboseli is known as the best place in Africa for getting up close to free-ranging elephants. The population is so robust here that sightings are guaranteed! It’s just one of many reasons the park is the second most popular in Kenya.

You'll depart Amboseli in the morning and drive via Nairobi to the floor of the Rift Valley with a hot picnic lunch en route to Lake Nakuru National Park arriving for your afternoon game drive. Lake Nakuru National Park is a fascinating mix of dazzling birdlife with the more traditional land-based safari wildlife. There’s a rhino sanctuary that features a large population of white and black rhinos. You can also find the rare Rothschild’s giraffes feeding in the park’s acacia forests. Other unexpected surprises moving over its shores and through its woodlands are waterbucks, hyenas, baboons and monkeys.

After a hearty breakfast, you will depart for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to Masai Mara, Kenya's famous national reserve. The reserve is world-famous for its incredible density of wildlife and during the Great Migration (July – October) an unending torrent of gazelles, wildebeests and zebras streaming into the park. All of Africa’s Big Five are here and so many more animals. You will arrive at the park in time for lunch at the lodge. You'll enjoy an afternoon game drive to track elephants, leopards, cheetahs, lions and buffaloes. You will drive back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast with a picnic lunch, you will spend the day exploring this unique park. This will be a day of unlimited game drives for you to explore the depth and breadth of this famous park. You will have an opportunity to drive down to the Mara River, the site of the Great Migration when in season (July - October). The immense herds of wildebeests and zebras are a magnificent sight, matched only by the drama of the predators who lie in wait for them. At the river, you’ll see hippos but also camouflaged in their natural habitat you’ll spot the many crocodiles awaiting the wildlife traversing the river. To bring more texture to your experience, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. You can experience a visit to the local Maasai people in a nearby village or take a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah. Your driver/guide can arrange either of these optional excursions.

At the break of dawn, embark on your concluding game drive followed by a leisurely breakfast. Check out for a return road transfer to Nairobi. There are onward drop-off transfers to the JKIA international airport for your flight home or drop-off at your overnight city hotel.
