11-DAY CELEBRATED AFRICAN SAFARI

Early morning pick up in Nairobi and then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Across the equator, where lies the Rift Valley’s most famous lake. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Lake Nakuru is also a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction.
At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. You'll arrive in time for lunch then go for an afternoon game drive.

You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa.
As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. Enjoy lunch in Maasai Mara followed by an afternoon game drive.

A full day in Masai Mara with a flexible schedule ensuring maximum wildlife experince. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lions as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It’s one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded.

Start the day with an early morning game drive as you bid farewell the Maasai Mara and head to Serengeti. It will be a day of long drives but they are always worth it as they are always rewarding.
For those who are not comfortable with long drives, flights towards Serengeti can be arranged or a transit visit to Lake Victoria can be added to add up to the experience.

The Serengeti word means "the endless plains" and that is not enough to express what you will encounter as you enter Serengeti National Park. This vast landscape is inhabited by more than 3 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.
On your way to Serengeti, you may stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Dr Louis and Mary Leakey made their discovery of the first man that walked the earth. You'll have an afternoon game drive en-route to the lodge.

An early morning safari, for a chance to spot the animals when they are more active and also to have a fantastic sun rise view in Serengeti.
In the afternoon, transit to Ngorongoro, the 8th natural wonder of the world. The crater has the greatest concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. They are the most incredible elephants you'll ever see in your life.

After breakfast you will descend to the crater and explore an abundance of wildlife than anywhere in the world including the endangered black rhino species with numbers rising thanks to conservation efforts.
In the afternoon ascend the crater and to your lodge in Karatu.

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara for a game drive with picnic lunch inside the park.
Although only 205 sq. miles in size this enchanting park is noted for its beauty and incredibly lush acacia forest of giant fig and mahogany trees, which are home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. The park is also home to large numbers of buffalos, giraffes, elephants, impalas and it has a Hippo Lake, where large numbers of hippos usually gather. Well known for its birds (over 400 different species), is one of birders haven.
After the game drive you will drive towards Amboseli National Park, situated south of Nairobi for dinner and overnight rest.

A very early morning safari for a chance of the beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit.
Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left undisturbed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps forms the highlights of any safari, particularly this one.

A morning game drive in Amboseli. An optional visit to a Maasai village can also be planned. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Early in the afternoon, drive to Nairobi arriving at about, and transfer to your hotel or the airport.
