Day 1 & 2

Amboseli National Park

After all the time you've spent planning and dreaming about going on safari, this is where it finally starts. Your guide will meet you and explain everything you need to know and answer any questions you might have. And then we'll go out on safari together.

Amboseli may be smaller than many other Kenyan parks, but it packs a lot into a very small space. For starters, the views here are astonishing because Africa's highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m), looms over the park to the south. Best of all, the mountain provides a backdrop to many fantastic wildlife sightings that almost always include elephants with big tusks, as well as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeests and gazelles. Birders can also look for the park's 420 different recorded species.

Activity Day 1

Evening

We'll take you out on an evening game drive in Amboseli National Park. It's when temperatures cool, the light is golden and predators set out to hunt.

Activity Day 2

On your guided game drive, you'll get to see so many of the animals Amboseli has to offer. You might also get lucky and see the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

In addition to the rooms and safari tents, the lodge has an inviting swimming pool, bar and restaurant.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Rhinos are a big part of the experience when you visit Ol Pejeta. Apart from protecting some of Kenya's largest populations of black and white rhino, Ol Pejeta shelters the world's last two northern white rhinos. There's also a sanctuary for rescued chimps, and the free-roaming wildlife includes the Big Five. Commonly sighted mammals include lion, cheetah, hyena, elephant, giraffe, buffalo and zebra. More than 500 different bird species have been seen in the conservancy and the savannah and mountain views are lovely.

Samburu National Reserve

We think you'll fall in love with Samburu National Reserve at first sight. It's a fantastic reserve that doesn't get the crowds you sometimes see in Kenya's south. The reserve is well-stocked with predators, including lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena, with sightings of elephant, giraffe, hippo and zebra also common. It's a chance to see some northern animals that are hard to see elsewhere, including Somali ostrich, gerenuk, Grevy's zebra, beisa oryx and reticulated giraffe. Fabulous scenery and nearly 400 bird species too.

Day 6

Lake Nakuru National Park

It's not surprising that some of the aerial scenes from Out of Africa were shot here in Lake Nakuru National Park, with its fabulous views of the escarpment, lake and acacia forest. What also makes Lake Nakuru such a special place to visit is its populations of black and white rhinos, tree-climbing lions and endangered Rothschild's giraffes. You might also see leopards, flamingos and many different kinds of birds too.

Day 7

Masai Mara National Reserve

Kenya has some incredible wildlife destinations, but the Masai Mara National Reserve may well be the best of them all. This classic East African landscape of savannah grasslands, rolling hills, acacia woodlands and distant escarpments is itself impressive. But it's also the backdrop to one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on the planet. The Mara is known for its big cats, and this is certainly one of the best places to see lion, leopard and cheetah. You're almost guaranteed to see elephant, giraffe, buffalo, Thomson's gazelle, hippo, wildebeest and zebra, while black rhinos are possible in the Mara Triangle. And that's just the start. The Masai Mara is home to over 500 bird species too.

Evening Game Drive, Maasai Mara National Reserve

Going on an evening game drive is one of the highlights of any safari. This is when temperatures cool, the light becomes softer and the wildlife begins to get active. Not only will you be out when the light is best for taking photos, but it's also one of the best times of day for seeing the animals.
