We’ll begin our Kenya adventure with a 5:00 am pickup from your Nairobi hotel or from the Nairobi airport. Proceed to the Masai Mara game reserve, Kenya’s best wildlife safari reserve.

As the sun breaks over the African fields, we’ll stop in the town of Narok and take in the dawning light over breakfast. Then it’s on to the Masai Mara where we’ll arrive mid-morning.

Journeying into the Mara with its broad savannah accented with signature acacia trees, you’ll be looking upon one of the world’s premier viewing spots. Here are the greatest density of lions in Kenya and a healthy population of the other Big Five game as well.

Here, too, is the site of the Great Migration, where millions of roaming creatures cross over from the Serengeti in a cycle that has repeated endlessly since time began.

Overnight at a Masai Mara safari lodge or tented safari camp.

Enjoy your breakfast and get ready for a full day of unlimited game viewing. We’ll traverse the grasslands and hills on our way to the Mara River.

This is the site of the great crossing, where the migrating herds come in search of taller grasses. It’s also where crocodiles lie in wait – we’ll see them and hippos as well.

In all, there are over 90 species of mammals in this great ecosystem, all waiting to be discovered by you.

Another way to take in the totality of the Great Migration is in a hot air balloon. There’s nothing like rising above the Mara at dawn and watching the land and the teeming migration come to life. Please ask your guide about this optional excursion.

We also offer a visit to one of the local Masai villages. Learn about these tribal people and their herding lifestyle. You can purchase some colourful souvenirs as a memento of your visit.

(Please note the great migration happens between July – October)

Balloon excursion =$ 450 per person (enquire with us)

Masai village visit =$ 20 per person payable to village (arrange with your safari driver / guide)

Overnight shall be at your Masai Mara safari lodge / tented safari camp.

We’ll have an early breakfast before heading out to Amboseli.

The drive is long today!

We’ll arrive in Amboseli in time for a late afternoon game drive. After all the drama of the Mara, you’ll appreciate the calm, steady procession of free-ranging elephants, marching before the stately backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

If we’re lucky, the cloud cover will break around this evening to reveal Kilimanjaro’s famous and photogenic snow-capped peak.

Overnight at your Amboseli safari lodge or tented safari camp.

We’ll start the day off viewing the animals as they first awaken and come into the clearings, seeking their first meal of the day. Then, it’s our turn for breakfast.

You can relax now or go on a mid-morning game drive. Or both. You set the pace for the day and we’ll adjust accordingly.

Amboseli is also a wonderful park for viewing large game like lion, cheetah, hyena, impala and giraffe. The park is not big so there’s a good chance we’ll have some wonderful game viewing.

Your lunch awaits. Followed by more game drives. And, as always, you set the pace.

Overnight at your Amboseli safari lodge or tented camp.

What you may see at the Amboseli national park…

Elephant, Cheetah, Wild dog, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Lion, Mongoose, Hyrax, Dik-dik, Lesser Kudu and nocturnal porcupine etc.

Amboseli – Emali train station (Approx. 100Kms – 1 hr from Amboseli) Train from Emali – Mombasa – Kenya Coast.

It’s our final day on safari so let’s celebrate with an ultimate game drive through Amboseli’s scenic horizons. We’re very likely to see the park’s famous elephants once more.

Then we’re on to the Emali train station for your trip to the coast. On the way you’ll be traveling through the Tsavo West and Tsavo East Parks so you’ll have more opportunities to view those reserves and possibly some wildlife.

At the train station, your driver/guide will assist you with tickets and transfer to the Madaraka Express, the new high-speed train to Mombasa and the coast.

Your first-class ticket is included with the tour, so enjoy the comfort of your air-conditioned compartment and reclining seat. The train’s route is positioned higher than the roadway and offers an elevated view of the parks. And with its large windows you’ll enjoy wonderful vistas of the passing landscapes.

There’s also a buffet car for drinks and snacks, and new, modern restrooms for your convenience. In about 4 ½ hours, you’ll arrive at the state-of-the-art train station in Mombasa.
