Exploring Kenya

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or pickup from your hotel in Nairobi, you will be welcomed and assisted by our representatives. We will immediately head towards the Aberdare region, arriving at the Aberdare Country Club for lunch and check-in, followed by a subsequent transfer to The Ark Lodge. We will spend the rest of the day watching wildlife from the balcony, which is lit up at night. We will dine and stay overnight at the lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, we will head towards the Nakuru Lake National Park for a safari. We will enjoy a lavish lunch at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge, and then continue with another afternoon safari in the park. The park's ecosystem includes the lake, surrounded by wooded grasslands and bushy areas. This park is an important Ramsar site that supports a great ecological diversity. Lake Nakuru, covering 188 square kilometers, is the only reserve managed by KWS that is completely fenced. Once a simple bird sanctuary, Lake Nakuru is now the best place in Kenya to observe the highly protected black and white rhinos, along with other animals such as lions, leopards, flamingos, Egyptian geese, waterbucks, giraffes, hyenas, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys, gazelles, as well as the greater and lesser flamingos and other water birds, which are the main attractions of the area. In the evening, we will continue the safari until sunset. After the evening safari, we will head to our lodge for check-in, dinner, and overnight stay at the Lake Nakuru Lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, we will head towards the Masai Mara National Reserve, arriving in time for lunch and check-in at Mara Sopa. In the afternoon, we will go on a safari in the reserve, which offers stunning landscapes and an abundant wildlife presence. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where visitors can still see animals in the same super-abundance that existed a century ago.

We will spend an entire day in the reserve, with safaris in the morning and afternoon. The Masai Mara Reserve covers about 1510 km² of incredible open landscapes and fertile riverine forests, following the meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. Characterized by a typical open savannah, it is home to a rich variety of wildlife, with over 95 species of mammals and 570 species of birds recorded. Here you can find all members of the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, African elephant, African buffalo, and black rhinoceros), as well as other animals such as hippos, Nile crocodiles, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, and bat-eared foxes. All meals and overnight stays will be at the Mara Sopa.

After breakfast at the camp, we will head towards Lake Naivasha. We will check in and have lunch at Lake Naivasha Sopa. In the afternoon, we will take a boat ride. We will have dinner and stay overnight at the lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, we will head towards the Amboseli National Park. We will check in and have lunch at the Amboseli Sopa. In the afternoon, we will go on a safari in the park. We will have dinner and stay overnight at the lodge.

We will spend an entire day in the park with safaris in the morning and afternoon. Amboseli is located at the foot of Africa's most famous symbol: Mount Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro towers over Amboseli, usually shrouded in clouds but revealing its snow-capped magnificence from time to time. Once part of Kenya, Kilimanjaro was gifted by Queen Victoria to her beloved grandson, who was ruling the colony of Tanzania at the time, as the perfect wedding present. The mountain now provides water for the park, stunning views and, of course, the most glorious backdrop for wildlife photography. All meals and overnight stays will be at the Amboseli Sopa.

We will have breakfast at the camp and then head towards Nairobi, where we will be escorted to our hotel or to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for our return flight.
