Nairobi · Amboseli · Lake Nakuru · Masai Mara
Kenya is the home of the original safari. This journey takes in elephants beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro at Amboseli, flamingos and rhino at Lake Nakuru, and the legendary Masai Mara — big-cat country and, in season, the spectacular Mara River crossings.
Met at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to your Nairobi hotel for a welcome briefing from your guide.
Drive south to Amboseli beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, famous for its big elephant herds and iconic mountain views. Morning and afternoon game drives.
Travel into the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru — a sanctuary for black and white rhino, with flamingos along the shore and tree-climbing lions.
Continue to the legendary Masai Mara for some of Africa’s finest big-cat viewing and, from July to October, the dramatic Mara River crossings. Optional visit to a Maasai village.
No two days are ever the same — but most follow this gentle, golden rhythm. Everything flexes around you and your guide’s advice.
An early start with coffee as the sun rises. Animals are most active in the cool morning light — the best time for sightings and photography.
Return to camp for a hearty brunch, or take a picnic and stay out longer if the wildlife is calling.
The hottest part of the day is for resting — a siesta, a swim, or simply watching the plains from your veranda as the heat shimmers.
Set out again as the day cools for an afternoon game drive, often the most rewarding hours as predators begin to stir.
Pause for a drink in hand as the African sun goes down — one of the safari’s great rituals.
Return to camp for dinner beneath a sky thick with stars, the distant sound of the wild your soundtrack, before you plan tomorrow with your guide.
