Day 2: Nairobi – Lake Nakuru National Park
After breakfast at the City Hotel, proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park, situated in the Rift Valley Region. Arrive in Nakuru and head straight for an afternoon game drive in the park. The Park is renowned worldwide for its hundreds of thousands of pink flamingos that colour its shows in pink. In late 80's the park also became Kenya's first rhino sanctuary and is today home to both the White and Black Rhinos. Lions, leopards, hippos, giraffes, waterbucks are equally at home in this unique park.

Day 3: Lake Nakuru National Park - Masai Mara Game Reserve
After breakfast, drive to Masai Mara Game Reserve. Arrive and have lunch before embarking for an afternoon game drive. The jewel in Africa’s crown, Maasai Mara, is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife such as Lions, elephant, Cheetah, leopard, Rhinos, giraffe, gazelle, zebras among others. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara and patience is often rewarded with unique sightings: a pride of lion stalking their prey; a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree; a male wildebeest sparring to attract females into their harem; a herd of elephant protecting their young from opportunistic predators.
Overnight: Masai Mara Sopa Lodge
Meals-Breakfast in Nakuru, Lunch and Dinner in Masai Mara
Day 4: Full Day in Maasai Mara Game Reserve
A full day is spent game viewing and exploring this natural wonder with a visit to the Mara River where the wildebeest migration takes place. Here you can see both the hippos and the crocodiles that co exist in the same waters.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most popular safari destination and for good reason. It is a vast reserve of endless flat grassland crossed by rivers which play host to wildlife’s most spectacular moments. Its biggest drawcard is the Wildebeest Migration when vast hordes of Wildebeest roar through the park bringing in its trail a wake of mighty predators. If you’re lucky enough to be in Masai Mara during the migration pick a spot by the river and watch enraptured as crocs and lions compete to pick-off stragglers from the clattering herds of wildebeest.
Optional Afternoon Visit to a Masai Cultural Village: This afternoon, we have an option of joining the Maasai dancers donning their African regalia and the jingling on their feet, flow by the rhythm of African beats and dance to their tunes that will leave you refreshed. Cost Per Person: $35. Advance booking advised.
Overnight: Masai Mara Sopa Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Masai Mara
Day 5: Maasai Mara Game Reserve - Amboseli National Park
Early breakfast and drive to Amboseli National Park, one of the most popular of Kenya's national parks. Have a stopover in Nairobi for lunch before proceeding to Amboseli. Arrive at the hotel with a game drive enroute.
Amboseli lies at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft.) and very close to the Tanzania border. The snowcapped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro dominates every aspect of Amboseli. The snows of Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline, form a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular displays of wildlife - lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains' game, creating Kenya's most sought after photographer's paradise.
Overnight: Amboseli Sopa Lodge
Meals – Breakfast in Masai Mara Lunch in Nairobi and Dinner in Amboseli
Day 6: Full Day In Amboseli National Park
Today we will explore the Park which covers only 150 square miles, yet, despite its small size, its fragile ecosystem supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50 of the larger species) and birds (over 400 species). Years ago this was the locale around which such famous writers as Ernest Hemingway and Robert Ruark spun their stories of big-game hunting in the wilds of Africa. It is also the home of the Maasai people. Swamps and springs, fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro's melting snows form permanent watering places for the wildlife through times of drought.
Overnight: Amboseli Sopa Lodge
Meals - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Amboseli
Day 7: Amboseli National Park - Nairobi - Evening Departure
