Itinerary

Day 01: JKIA – Nairobi

Arrive at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. After proceeding through immigration and Customs, you will be met by our representative who will brief you on your safari and start your safari to  Amboseli through the Mombasa- Nairobi highway, arrive in time for lunch. Check in at Oltukai Lodge lunch. Afternoon game drive will follow. The game drives take you into the wilds of Amboseli. The park is well known for the vast Elephant herds that saunter these plains, seemingly unaware that here, in the shadow of Africa’s highest snowcapped 19340m mt. Kilimanjaro, they are not the biggest game in town. Ferocious lions, motionless on their elevated perches, survey their kingdom. African buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, black rhinos and cheetah share the savannah. There's no question why photographers consider Amboseli to be one of Kenya's most photogenic destinations. Dinner and overnight at Oltukai  Lodge (L.D.B). www.oltukailodge.com

Day 02: Amboseli

Early morning game drive around the park with a beautiful view of the Mt. Kilimanjaro viewing point. The point provides vantage view of the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, with its snow capped peaks easily seen from the Amboseli National Park, renowned for its huge elephant herds. Actually, the park is one of the best places in Africa to get really close to free-raging elephants according to most elephants viewing enthusiasts. You will also see buffalo, black rhino, lions, zebra, wildebeest and other plain animals. It’s an adventure identifying the over 40 types of raptors in the park and over 400 bird species such as the hannerkops, crakes, kingfishers and pelicans. This is not just a walk in the park but a discovery through the park! Return to the lodge for late breakfast. You will have the afternoon at leisure until 1600 hrs when you go for an afternoon game drive till dusk. Dinner and overnight Oltukai  Lodge (L.D.B). www.oltukailodge.com

Day 03: Nakuru

Early breakfast then drive to via the great rift valley to Lake nakuru Nationa Park. When you first catch sight of Lake Nakuru, your brain won't register what your eyes are seeing. Is the lake rimmed with pink-sand beach? But no, sands don't move… Are those fallen cherry blossoms, dancing in the breeze? They can't be. As we get closer, the mystery is revealed: Lake Nakuru's rosy shores are populated by thousands of flamingos, packed so thick their salmon down creates the optical illusion of a pink-fringed lake. Arive in the time for lunch. Afternoon game drives into this unique park, located in the picturesque Great Rift Valley. The park's diverse ecosystems give birth to a startling array of sights and animal sightings. Scan the bushed grasslands, yellow acacia trees and blue-green lake for buffalo, Rothschild giraffes, black and white rhinos, baboons, lions, hyena and more than 400 bird species. Dinner and overnight at Lake Nakuru Lodge (L.D.B)www.lakenakurulodge.com

Day 04: Masai Mara

Early breackfast and check out. Now close your eyes and call to mind the African savannah, where a leopard races through golden grasses that dance in the wind. Envision a smiling woman, bedecked in a kaleidoscope of beads and fabrics. See a dazzle of zebras, zigging and zagging across the plains in a coordinated dance of camouflage. Now open your eyes. You are there: here, in the Africa of postcards and of dreams – in the reality of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Arrive and check in at Keekorok Lodge, lunch and afternoon game drives. The magic of this incredible region is owed to many things: to the friendly Maasai, a centuries-old tribe and enduring culture; to the scenic beauty of these sun-dappled plains; to the vast natural diversity found here, from Africa's Big Five game to the millions of wildebeest that beat a path through the reserve every year. This is the Africa where blackened profiles of giraffes and rhinoceros’s parade against an orange horizon, and where lions get so close, you can almost feel their breath on your face. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight at Keekorok Lodge(L.D.B) www.sunafricahotels.com

Day 05+06: Masai Mara

As dawn unfolds over the Maasai Mara, the origins of the region's name soon become clear: Mara, Maasai for "spotted," is an apt description for the whimsical smattering of fluffy clouds, gnarled trees, and ever-changing shadows that dot the landscape. And on today's morning and afternoon game drives, we delve deep into this spectacular scenery. We search for grazing giraffes, speedy antelopes and wading hippos, but our most sought-after sightings are of Africa's Big Five – the five most fierce and dangerous animals on the continent: African buffalo, black rhinos, bush elephants, leopards and lions. And if we timed our trip right, there's more: the Great Migration. This annual event is considered the Eighth Wonder of the World, and for good reason: every year, millions of wildebeest (gnu) and hundreds of thousands of zebra thunder across Tanzania's Serengeti and into the Maasai Mara, comprising the largest land animal migration in the world. You will remember this sight forever, but it is the cadence of the animals' racing hooves that will forever reverberate through you memories. You may see the unforgetable mara river crossing where many wildebeasts are caught by crocodiles. Options: You may take an early morning hot air balloon ride to see millions of wildlife migration from the air  USD $450 per person or visit a traditional Maasai Manyatta /village to get to know their cultures, traditions and very authentic way of life. Dinner and overnight at Keekorok Lodge(L.D.B) www.sunafricanhotelss.com
