Day 1: Tsavo East National Park
Your journey starts with a scenic drive down the Mombasa-Nairobi highway to Tsavo East, Kenya’s largest game reserve. Immerse yourself in Tsavo’s rugged wilderness, spotting some of its 700+ famous lions as well as buffalo, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, zebra, gazelle, and a vast array of birds. Overnight stays are at your preferred lodge or tented camp inside the park.

Day 2: From Tsavo East to Amboseli National Park
Rise early for a sunrise game drive before heading to Amboseli National Park, set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Amboseli is famed for its immense elephant herds and abundant wildlife, including lions and hundreds of bird species. Enjoy scenic afternoon game drives and optional visits to Maasai villages for a deep dive into local culture.

Day 3: Amboseli to Lake Naivasha
After a morning game drive and breakfast, travel through the Great Rift Valley towards Lake Naivasha. This scenic freshwater lake is surrounded by cacti and olive trees and offers a delightful water safari where you may see giraffes, zebras, and hippos along the shoreline.

Day 4: Hell’s Gate and Lake Nakuru National Park
Explore Hell’s Gate National Park by bicycle, cycling through spectacular escarpments past zebras, giraffes, impalas, and buffalo. Follow this with a walking safari on nearby Crescent Island. Later, drive to Lake Nakuru National Park to encounter Rothschild’s giraffes, rhinos, lions, leopards, warthogs, and prolific birdlife including pelicans and flamingos.

Day 5: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve
Early morning game drives at Lake Nakuru precede your journey to the renowned Masai Mara. Known for sweeping savannahs dotted with acacia trees, the Mara hosts vast populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, gazelles, hyenas, and migrating zebras and wildebeest. Arrive in time for afternoon game viewing.

Day 6: Full Day in the Masai Mara
Spend the entire day exploring the Masai Mara with unlimited game drives. Witness Africa’s “Big Five” and enjoy a picnic lunch by the Mara River, where hippos and crocodiles abound. During migration season (July to October), watch the dramatic river crossings of thousands of animals. Optional activities include Masai village visits and hot air balloon safaris.

Day 7: Masai Mara to Nairobi and Return to Diani Beach
Conclude your safari with an early morning game drive before departing for Nairobi. From the capital, board a flight or take the modern train back to the coast, returning to your resort filled with unforgettable memories of Kenya’s richest parks.
