9-Day From the Mara Plains to Diani Shores Safari

Your driver-guide reports to your hotel for the start of the safari, with a departure for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to the Masai Mara, Kenya's famous game reserve. Stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of an enormous valley system said to be visible from outer space. Arrive in the Masai Mara in time for lunch. After lunch, go for an afternoon game drive, which will allow spotting of the magnificent wildlife in the park. The reserve is known for providing excellent predator sightings thanks to its relatively large population of lion, cheetah and leopard. Bordering Tanzania, the Mara is in the northern extension of the Serengeti and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. Dinner and overnight will be at the camp.

After a hearty buffet breakfast in the camp, you will embark on a game viewing drive in search of wild animals. You will drive to the famous Mara River in search of crocodiles and hippos. If you visit between July and September, you will have a chance to witness the great wildebeest migration from the Serengeti plains to the Masai Mara, crossing the Mara River. You will have your packed lunch in the park and proceed on a game drive, probably in search of animals not seen so far. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

After breakfast, depart for the flamingo-fringed Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive. Lake Nakuru is one of several Rift Valley lakes, and its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity, with flamingos (greater and lesser) and other waterbirds being the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals, including the white rhino and buffaloes and a variety of terrestrial birds numbering nearly 450 species. You'll have dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge.

We will depart early in the morning after breakfast towards Amboseli National Park, arriving in time for lunch. Your guide will take you on an afternoon game drive.

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. Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.

You'll leave your lodge in the morning with a packed lunch for a full-day game drive, spending time in the park. Search for its popular residents, such as the well-known predators and their prey, like zebra, giraffe, hippo, and elephant, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro. You will enjoy the early morning game drive in search of animals out hunting. This is a lifetime experience for any tourist visiting the park.
