Adventure Kenya SWC 001

Amboseli | Kilimanjaro | Nairobi

DAY 02: Nairobi – Amboseli National Park    car with roof tent Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast and depart thereafter for Amboseli National Park, driving through the scenic southern part of Kenya towards the Kenya – Tanzania border, Namanga. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the way to your campsite with your first exciting game drive in the park. Whilst your chef is setting up camp we invite you for another game drive afterwards in this beautiful park, famous for its large elephant herds. Arid looking as Amboseli is, it has, historically, supported both game and the Masai that kept their herds of cattle here. It is thanks to the waters that run off Africa's greatest mountain that the apparently dry Amboseli, Kenya's first game sanctuary is able to support its wildlife. Mount Kilimanjaro broods high over Amboseli, generally cloaked by clouds but appearing in all its snow-shrouded magnificence from time to time. The mountain now provides water for the park, wonderful views and, of course, the most glorious background for animal photography. Return to the camp for a freshly prepared dinner under the stars & overnight in your roof tent or ground tent. (FB)    

Amboseli | Nairobi

DAY 04: Amboseli National Park – Lake Naivasha    After an early breakfast depart from Amboseli and drive via Nairobi along the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha. Stop over for a quick lunch at a typical local Indian Restaurant before proceeding to Lake Naivasha. En-route, stop over at the Rift Valley view point offering a breathtaking view and incredible panorama, ideal for photographs to be taken. Another stop at Crescent Island for a guided walk will give you the chance to view and walk with various plains game such as wildebeest, Kongoni antelope, impala, water bucks and larger wildlife such as giraffe. Your guide will also try to find you the pythons that live on the island. Proceed on to your camp site late afternoon / early evening. Dinner and overnight in your roof tent or ground tent. (FB)  

Lake Nakuru

DAY 06: Lake Nakuru National Park Impalas (Picture: Michael Nikolai) Another exciting day awaits you in this National Park with game drives at your convenience. You could go for a full day game drive with picnic breakfast and lunch or alternatively enjoy early morning and afternoon game drives. This lake offers one of the world's most spectacular wildlife sights, that of brilliant pink flamingos as far as the eye can see. The rather less ubiquitous reedbuck and waterbuck are also here as is the glamorously leggy Rothschild giraffe. All meals and overnight in your roof tent or ground tent. (FB)

DAYS 08 - 09: Maasai Mara Game Reserve  Sunrise in the Maasai Mara Spend two more exciting days with unlimited game drives exploring the Mara, home to the proud and traditional Maasai tribe. We can arrange a visit to a local Maasai Village if you like. (@ extra cost) The Mara is more than just the most popular wildlife park in the country, in many cases it is the reason why people come to visit Kenya. This is a classic African savanna, and the sheer density of wildlife is amazing. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found so are predators. Watered by the Mara River and its tributary the Talek, the park here compromises 1510 sq kilometres of open grassland tucked away in the south west corner of the country. In the Mara you will see an astonishing amount of wild life, including the big cats, where lions are found in large prides everywhere and it is not uncommon to see them hunting. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but are still fairly common. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos also exist in large numbers. All meals will be prepared in camp. Overnight in your roof tent or ground tent. (FB)
