Day01

Nairobi → Amboseli National Park

Private Departure · Kilimanjaro Country · Afternoon Game Drive

Your eleven-day private Kenya safari begins with collection from your Nairobi hotel, residence or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport according to your confirmed arrangements.

Meet your professional safari driver-guide and depart Nairobi in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser for Amboseli National Park.

As you approach Amboseli, the landscape opens into broad plains with Mount Kilimanjaro providing an unforgettable backdrop when weather conditions are favourable.

Arrive at your selected lodge or tented camp for check-in and lunch according to your confirmed arrangements.

Later, depart for your first game drive in search of elephants, buffalo, zebra, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, lions, cheetahs and other wildlife.

Return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day02

Full-Day Amboseli National Park Safari

Elephants · Wetlands · Kilimanjaro · Extensive Game Viewing

Spend a complete day exploring Amboseli National Park with your private safari driver-guide.

Morning game viewing takes advantage of the cooler hours when wildlife is often active and the mountain may be particularly beautiful if skies are clear.

Explore open plains, acacia woodland and permanent wetlands while searching for Amboseli's celebrated elephant herds.

The wetlands support buffalo, hippos and abundant birdlife while lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other predators may be encountered across the surrounding plains.

Your private vehicle provides flexibility to follow wildlife activity and spend more time at interesting sightings.

Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and your second overnight.

Day03

Amboseli → Tsavo West National Park

Changing Landscapes · Volcanic Wilderness · Afternoon Safari

After breakfast, depart Amboseli and continue toward Tsavo West National Park.

The transition between these two parks reveals one of the great strengths of a longer Kenya safari: the remarkable change in landscape over relatively short distances.

Enter Tsavo West and begin exploring its rugged terrain, where volcanic formations, lava flows, rocky hills, bushland and open areas create a dramatically different safari environment.

Wildlife may include elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, antelopes, lions, leopards and numerous bird species.

Continue to your selected lodge or tented camp for check-in, dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Breakfast, lunch and dinner according to your confirmed package. First overnight in Tsavo West.

Mzima Springs · Volcanic Landscapes · Wildlife · Wilderness

Today is devoted to exploring Tsavo West National Park with your private driver-guide.

Set out during the morning hours to search for wildlife among the park's varied landscapes and dense vegetation.

Tsavo West is particularly rewarding for travellers who appreciate dramatic scenery as much as wildlife. Its rugged terrain provides a striking contrast to the open plains of Amboseli.

Your exploration may include Mzima Springs, where clear spring water creates a lush oasis within the otherwise dry landscape.

Continue game viewing through different areas of the park while searching for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, antelopes and predators.

The day's programme can be adjusted according to wildlife activity, road conditions and your lodge location.

Return for dinner and your second overnight in Tsavo West.

Day 4: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Second overnight in Tsavo West.
Day05

Tsavo West → Lake Naivasha

Scenic Transfer · Kenyan Highlands · Great Rift Valley

After breakfast, leave Tsavo West and begin the journey north toward Lake Naivasha.

Today's transfer connects southern Kenya's wilderness with the Great Rift Valley and provides changing views of the country's highlands and agricultural landscapes.

Appropriate comfort stops will be made during the journey.

Arrive in the Lake Naivasha area and proceed to your selected lodge for check-in and relaxation.

Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake known for its birdlife, hippos and tranquil Rift Valley setting.

Depending on arrival time and your confirmed arrangements, an optional boat safari may be possible.

Dinner and overnight at Lake Naivasha.

Day 5: Breakfast and meals according to your confirmed package. Overnight at Lake Naivasha.
Day06

Lake Naivasha → Lake Nakuru National Park

Rift Valley · Rhinos · Birdlife · Afternoon Game Viewing

Enjoy breakfast before departing Lake Naivasha for Lake Nakuru National Park.

The relatively short transfer provides good time for wildlife viewing after entering the park.

Explore woodland, grasslands, rocky escarpments and lakeshore habitat while searching for the park's diverse wildlife.

Lake Nakuru is particularly important for rhino conservation, offering opportunities to search for both white and black rhinos.

Other wildlife may include buffalo, giraffes, zebra, antelopes, baboons and numerous bird species.

Continue your game drive before proceeding to your selected accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 6: Breakfast, lunch and dinner according to your confirmed package. Overnight at Lake Nakuru.
Day07

Lake Nakuru → Maasai Mara

Great Rift Valley · Savannah · First Mara Game Drive

After breakfast, depart Lake Nakuru and travel toward the Maasai Mara.

The landscape gradually changes into the rolling grasslands and expansive savannah associated with the greater Mara ecosystem.

Arrive at your selected lodge or tented camp for check-in and lunch according to your arrival time.

Later, depart for your first Maasai Mara game drive.

Search for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, gazelles, cheetahs and many other species.

Return to your lodge or camp for dinner and your first overnight in Maasai Mara.

Day 7: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. First overnight in Maasai Mara.
Day08

Full-Day Maasai Mara Safari

Big Five Country · Predators · Extensive Game Viewing

Travel across the reserve's grasslands in search of the remarkable diversity of wildlife that makes the Mara one of Africa's most celebrated safari destinations.

Lions are frequently encountered, while cheetahs and other predators may also be seen depending on wildlife movements.

Large herbivores include elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest and numerous antelope species.

Your private safari allows the route to be adapted according to recent sightings and your wildlife interests.

Day 8: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Second overnight in Maasai Mara.
Day09

Second Full-Day Maasai Mara Safari

Big Cats · Photography · Deeper Wildlife Exploration

Set out for another complete day of game viewing in the Maasai Mara.

With four nights allocated to the reserve, you have time to explore different wildlife areas instead of relying on a single full-day game drive.

Search for the Big Five and observe the interactions between predators, herbivores and the wider savannah ecosystem.

The additional time is especially valuable for photography because your driver-guide can remain longer at rewarding sightings.

Depending on your confirmed programme, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives or an extended full-day safari.

Dinner and your third overnight in Maasai Mara.

Day 9: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Third overnight in Maasai Mara.
Day10

Third Full-Day Maasai Mara Safari

Extended Mara Experience · Predators · Savannah Wildlife

Your driver-guide can revisit productive areas or explore different sections of the reserve according to current wildlife activity.

Search for lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, hyenas, hippos and numerous antelope species.

During the seasonal Great Migration period, parts of the greater Mara ecosystem may host large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra. Migration movements depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.

An optional early-morning hot-air balloon safari may be arranged, subject to availability and additional cost.

Enjoy your final afternoon game viewing before returning to your lodge or camp.
