This day will start with an extensive game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This alkaline lake is home to millions of pink flamingos that cover the lake’s shorelines. The lake ecosystem is also a habitat for over 400 species of birds. This is one of the few places in Kenya where you can see both the white and black rhinos at the same place, as this park is also a rhino sanctuary. Later, you will exit the park and drive to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus, almost 13 km across. The lake draws a great range of game to these shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps, and colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the Lake’s large hippo populations sleep the day out in the shallows. You will have an afternoon boat safari at Lake Naivasha, where you view exotic birdlife and hippos amid the serenity of this freshwater rift valley lake. Later, you'll proceed on a guided walking safari at the Crescent Island.

You will depart early in the morning after breakfast towards Amboseli National Park with lunch en route. Your guide will take you on an afternoon game drive. Amboseli is synonymous with two particular things — majestic herds of elephant 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. 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.

After breakfast, you'll head to the park for your full-day game viewing. Your Kenya adventure safari today consists of panoramic views, large herds of elephants walking slowly against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, buffalo bathing in the swampy areas, giraffes feeding on the treetops, zebras, warthogs, lions, and more wildlife. You will have your picnic lunch under a tree's shade and continue scouring this semi-arid park for more of its wildlife. In the evening, when the clouds open, the snow-capped highest peak of Mount Kilimanjaro is more visible and gives a fairytale view as you marvel at the elephants roaming at the foot of the Mountain. Amboseli National Park is one of the best places in Africa for getting up close to free-ranging elephants. The population is so robust here that sightings are guaranteed! As always, your driver-guide will be at your disposal for even more game viewing drives.
