Upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our representative will greet you, providing a concise overview of your safari. You will then be introduced to your driver guide, kicking off your safari adventure. Embark on a visit to the Karen Blixen Museum and the AFEW Giraffe Center, located near Giraffe Manor, offering an opportunity to hand-feed the Rothschild giraffes. Following this delightful experience, enjoy lunch at the Karen Blixen Coffee Gardens. Afterward, depart for Amboseli National Park, ensuring a timely check-in at the Amboseli Sopa Lodge. Overnight: Amboseli Sopa Lodge
Today promises a full-day exploration of Amboseli National Park, featuring both morning and evening game drives. Additionally, you have the option to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the local Maasai villages, offering a unique opportunity to interact and learn about this nomadic pastoralist community. Nestled on the lower slopes of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak (located just across the Tanzanian border), Amboseli provides a captivating experience, especially witnessing Kilimanjaro's silhouette against the morning clouds. Capture thrilling wildlife images set against the dramatic backdrop of the mountain, catering to the photography enthusiast. Amboseli is celebrated for its vast elephant herds, and you can also encounter buffalo, black rhino, zebra, wildebeest, and various other plains animals.
At 0730hrs, following your breakfast, embark on a journey to Lake Naivasha via Nairobi, making a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. Continue the drive to reach the Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort for check-in and lunch. The afternoon offers leisure time, followed by an evening boat ride to Crescent Island – The Park where you walk with the Animals! Crescent Island Game Park, situated on Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley, is a unique haven boasting more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park. The island's wildlife, including herds of Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Zebra, and Gazelle, has attracted numerous film companies. The absence of fences allows mainland wildlife to join, compensating for habitat loss due to development and population growth. Experience nocturnal grazing hippos and observe giraffes returning to the island for birthing, offering glimpses of three generations at times. While Hyenas hunt at night, they are not permanent residents, and occasional sightings of pythons with prey occur. Monitored groups of Buffalo frequent the island. From the hilltop, relish a 360-degree view across the lake, from Longonot to Hell’s Gate, Mau Escarpment, Eburu, and onto the Aberdares. A serene walk along the ridge during the golden hour before sunset, with animals grazing and the shimmering water beyond, encapsulates the essence of Africa. Conclude the day with a boat ride back to the lodge. Overnight: Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge

Embark on your journey to Maasai Mara after breakfast, arriving in time for check-in and lunch at Mara Sopa Lodge. Experience an afternoon game viewing drive, returning to your lodge later to witness the sunset, followed by a delightful dinner and overnight stay. Maasai Mara National Reserve, situated in the southwestern part of Kenya, is an integral part of the broader ecosystem that includes Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Renowned as one of Africa's most famous and frequently visited reserves, Maasai Mara is enveloped by concession areas and the tribal lands of the Maasai people. These unfenced areas, bordering the Mara, serve as a buffer zone for the National Park and are integral to the migration route. Featuring open savannah, rolling grasslands, and undulating hills, Maasai Mara showcases its splendor. The period from July to September witnesses the remarkable annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle from the Serengeti plains. Driven by dry conditions in the Serengeti and drawn by the allure of the north's lightning and thunder, vast herds of mammals traverse the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the abundant grasslands of Mara.
