Day 3: (Thu) Amboseli National Park
Spend the whole day in Amboseli game viewing. Amboseli National Park lies at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and offers visitors the best opportunity to view the endangered black rhino.
Day 4: (Fri) Amboseli National Park / Samburu National Reserve
After breakfast fl y from Amboseli to Samburu National Reserve. This reserve is rich with wild animals and birds. The reserve is situated on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya. This means plenty of water, trees and shade to attract wildlife like elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra from the surrounding savannah plains. Leopards are also regularly spotted.
Day 5: (Sat) Samburu National Park
Spend the whole day on a game drive in Samburu National Park. Samburu boasts the most unusual fauna of all East Africa’s major savannah reserves. There is the densely striped zebra, the giraffe,
the regal oryx and a comically longhorned gazelle.
Day 6: (Sun) Samburu National Reserve / Masai Mara Game Reserve
Today fly across the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara Reserve and spend the afternoon game viewing in this world renowned reserve.
Day 7: (Mon) Masai Mara National Reserve
Spend the day observing wild animals in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The large concentration of game in this relatively small park has earned it the reputation as the most prolific game viewing spot in Africa. The reserve borders Tanzania and the two countries share the vast Serengeti plains, with wildlife free to roam between Kenya and Tanzania in search of food. The concentration of game in the Mara during the mass migration is mind-blowing, and this is one of the few areas where you are likely to see the ‘Big Five’ - buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard.
Day 8: (Tue) Masai Mara National Reserve / Nairobi
Board the morning flight to Nairobi, where you connect with your onward arrangements.
