Custom South Kenya Tour: 6 Days
Day 1: Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
Your experience begins with a pickup from your hotel in Nairobi. Settling into an off-road vehicle, we’ll begin the thrilling journey towards Amboseli National Park.
After travelling by road to our lodging, a delightful meal awaits us upon arrival. Following a brief rest, we will head out on our inaugural safari in the park—one of the foremost wildlife reserves in Kenya. Here, you'll encounter herds of elephants, gazelles, buffaloes, and warthogs, setting the stage for your initial wildlife photography.
If the weather allows, you may even catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s towering summit. As we conclude the safari while the sun sets, we’ll return to the lodge for dinner and a restful night.
Day 2: Amboseli National Park
The morning begins with an early breakfast, readying us for the second day of exploration. We’ll venture towards the base of Kilimanjaro to witness its majestic sunrise and to observe the area's wildlife. Our quest will continue in Amboseli National Park as we search for more than 300 bird species soaring over the savanna.
Subsequently, we will visit a Maasai village to gain insight into the traditions of this ancient culture. There, we’ll be warmly welcomed by the community with songs and dances that reflect their heritage. You’ll also have the opportunity to step inside their homes and connect with their customs.
After this enriching cultural experience, the rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy at the hotel.
Day 3: Amboseli National Park - Lake Naivasha
It’s time to say goodbye to Amboseli. After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll embark on our journey to Lake Naivasha, the habitat of numerous hippo families, crossing the breathtaking Great Rift Valley.
Upon arrival at our accommodation in Naivasha, we’ll enjoy lunch and a brief respite. In the afternoon, we will explore the lagoon area, marveling at the expansive papyrus beds that frame it. Following this, a boat ride on Lake Naivasha will allow for close encounters with hippos.
Afterward, we will travel to Crescent Island for a 1.5-hour walking safari, giving us the chance to spot local wildlife. We’ll return to the hotel in the evening for dinner and relaxation.
Day 4: Lake Naivasha - Maasai Mara
In the early hours, we will depart Naivasha to make our way to the renowned reserve of Masai Mara, crossing the Rift Valley once more.
Upon reaching Maasai Mara, lunch will be served at the lodge followed by a rest before commencing our first safari through the stunning reserve. Expect to see lions, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants in this captivating landscape! If you’re visiting between July and August, you might experience the remarkable Great Wildebeest Migration.
We’ll conclude the day with dinner at the lodge.
Day 5: Maasai Mara
After a nutritious breakfast at the lodge, our off-road adventure will continue as we explore Maasai Mara’s vast range once again. We’ll traverse the plains in hopes of spotting any species we may have missed on the previous day.
For a memorable experience, a picnic lunch will be enjoyed amidst the park’s breathtaking surroundings, allowing us to soak in the natural beauty. We will resume wildlife observation before heading back to the hotel for dinner.
Day 6: Maasai Mara - Nairobi
After breakfast at the hotel, we will commence our return journey to the capital. We will pause along the way for a rest, and you can enjoy lunch at your discretion in a local restaurant.
Your experience comes to an end as we drop you off at your accommodation around 5 PM.
