Relax within the hotel then head out roaming the park’s iconic plains among the large tusked elephants and other game. Once back at the lodge, enjoy dinner while sharing stories, your love of wildlife, and reminiscing about the day’s adventures, before retiring to bed.
Day 3: Amboseli National Park
The morning mist in Amboseli rises to reveal stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and families of elephants wandering across the savannah. Together, you and your family can soak in the total peace of an African sunrise, as you search for the Big Five and other plain game, returning to your lodge for breakfast. Spend some quality family time and engaging in other activities, before heading out on an afternoon safari, returning at sunset for dinner, fun around a campfire, and another overnight stay.
Day 4: Amboseli National Park – Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, depart for Nairobi where you’ll stop for a mouth-watering lunch at the famous Carnivore restaurant. Continue west, descending into the lush green escarpment and into the Great Rift Valley. Carry onto your hotel overlooking Lake Naivasha. This beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus, provides the ideal setting for your family to go boating or walking along the lake shores. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 5: Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara Game Reserve
Depart early morning for the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, arriving at your lodge in time for lunch. Following a short siesta, head out on an afternoon game drive, traversing the gold plains under the glow of the fading sun, as the animals come out of hiding and into the cool evening air. Settle into the night for dinner, recounting the day’s excitement, before falling asleep to the soothing sounds of wild animals in the distance.
Day 6: Masai Mara Game Reserve
Feel the true heartbeat of Africa as the roars of lions and drumming of hooves reverberate through the plains of the Masai Mara. Drive along the banks of rivers teaming with crocodile and hippo, and disappear into wild grasslands that abound with predators and plain game. End the day with dinner, story-sharing, and stargazing around a fireplace, an experience that you will always remember.
Day 7: Masai Mara Game Reserve – Nairobi
Venture out once more into the Mara Game Reserve as a golden dawn breaks over the savannah plains, before returning to your lodge for a late breakfast and then starting your journey back to Nairobi, arriving into the city by late afternoon. This marks end of safari with transfer to airport or hotel of choice.
