Here in Kenya’s most popular park with its deep savannahs offset with iconic acacia trees, you’ll have a good chance to spot the “Big Five” – lion, leopard elephant, rhino and buffalo because of the great density of animals in this reserve.

At the Mara River, we will see hippo and crocodile deep in their usual habitat as wildebeest; zebra and gazelle forge across in search of food.

The park also supports masses of impala, eland, Masai Giraffe, cheetah and hyena. You will not go a day here without enjoying the ever-present wildlife.

We offer several optional excursions to round out your safari. An early morning hot air balloon ride over the awakening Mara with its views of the endless trains of wildlife is an unforgettable memory.

You can also take a moment out from wildlife tracking to visit the local Masaai people. Here you can meet the villagers, learn about their lives and purchase some of their colorful crafts.

It is our third day at the Masai Mara, and the other parks are calling! We will do a short game drive, and then it is on to Lake Naivasha.

Along the way, we will make some stops to admire the dramatic forms of the Great Rift Valley.

Naivasha is an elevated Rift Valley lake filled with migratory birds, fish and hippo. We will take an afternoon boat safari across the lake, sailing by those hippos with views of wildlife like zebra and antelope grazing on the nearby shore.

This is a striking area blessed with acacia forests, waterfalls, towering escarpments and deep gorges. Not far off are more parks and preserves waiting for your exploration.

We will head over to one of these small gems – Crescent Island Game Sanctuary. This private island preserve hosts rich birdlife such as pelicans, cormorants and fish eagles.

Amboseli is a small park but very dense with wildlife. You are guaranteed elephant sightings as well as the stunning backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro framing the park.

The great mountain and the massive elephant herds create a feeling here that is different from our other parks but one that you will very much enjoy.

If we are lucky, this evening, the cloud cover hovering about the peaks of Kilimanjaro will disperse leaving us with views of its glorious snow-capped summit.
