Itinerary

Kick off your adventure driving south toward Amboseli National Park. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, then venture out on your first game drive. Watch herds of elephants silhouetted against Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak — the ultimate safari postcard.

Overnight: Kibo Safari Camp / Amboseli Serena Lodge

Spend a full day exploring Amboseli’s wide, open plains. Spot buffalo wallowing in the swamps, lions lounging in the grass, and flamingos dancing on the lake. Return to camp for dinner under the stars and stories by the fire.

Overnight: Same lodge

After breakfast, drive north through Nairobi and down into the Great Rift Valley. Arrive at Lake Nakuru — a birdwatcher’s dream and rhino sanctuary. Afternoon game drive around the shimmering lake, with a chance to spot both black and white rhinos.

Overnight: Lake Nakuru Lodge / Sarova Lion Hill

After an early breakfast, journey west to the Maasai Mara, arriving by lunchtime. Settle in and then head out for your first evening drive across the rolling plains — lions, cheetahs, elephants, and the famous Mara sunset await.

Overnight: Basecamp Explorer / Zebra Plains

A full day of safari bliss! Pack a picnic and spend the day tracking wildlife deep in the reserve. Your guide knows the best spots — whether it’s a pride of lions under an acacia or a herd of wildebeest crossing the river. Return for a cozy evening at camp.

Overnight: Same lodge

Enjoy a relaxed morning — optional hot-air balloon safari or Maasai village visit. Afternoon drive or downtime to soak up the lodge views.

Overnight: Same lodge

After breakfast, begin your scenic drive back to Nairobi. Arrive in the afternoon — heart full, camera full, spirit recharged.
