7 Day Amboseli,Aberdare,Nakuru & Masai Mara

Day 1 :Amboseli National Park

On arrival at the airport you will be met by our representative who will depart for a drive to Amboseli National Park. It is famous for its big game and scenic beauty with the landscape dominated by the Mt. Kilimanjaro. It offers an interesting contrast in appearance with its dry and dusty appearance, which can be attributed to the volcanic ash that came out of Mt Kilimanjaro when it last erupted. In spite of the appearance, there is a continuous supply of water that gets filtered through volcanic rocks from Kilimanjaro's melted snow. These streams flow underground, creating lush green areas, and converge at two clear water springs in the park. All meals and overnights at Amboseli Serena lodge.

Day 2:Amboseli

Spend a further day in the park on morning and afternoon game viewing drives. Wildlife here includes the zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, impala, caracal and serval cat, lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, wild dog among others. There are also over 400 species of birds, including the bee-eater, kingfisher, African fish eagle, marital eagle and pygmy falcon. Visitors mainly come to watch the huge herds of elephants.

Day 4:Aberdares/Lake Nakuru

In 1987, only two black rhinos remained following the ravages of poaching. By creating a rhino sanctuary within the park and reintroducing a breeding herd from Laikipia, the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS). has now successfully re-established a rhino sanctuary in the park.
Game viewing is relatively easy and will be until sunset. Buffalo, leopard, lion, Rothschild's giraffe, Black and White Colobus monkey are plentiful in the forest.

Every year the Mara plays host to the world’s greatest natural spectacle; The Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti. which occurs from the months of July to October, the promise of rain and fresh life giving grass in the north brings more than 1.5 million Wildebeest together into a massive herd. They converge across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon.
