Sample itinerary
Day 1-2: Mount Kilimanjaro views. Amboseli wetlands and Big Tuskers!
Meet & greet at the international airport and transfer to Amboseli National Park, located at the foot of the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro.
Amboseli’s landscape is a unique mix of wetlands and arid plains, supporting an ecosystem that is quite different from Mara. Here you will find myriad of birdlife (including flamingos) as well as hippos and the fantastical Big Tusker elephants with long tusks that touch the ground.
*SPECIALS* Your journey includes a Maasai village visit. Hosted by the village chief, it is a warm and meaningful encounter. Option for a night safari game drive for nocturnal wildlife sightings.
Day 3-5: Fly direct into iconic Maasai Mara
Witness the Great Wildlife Migration: enormous count of 2 million wildebeests and zebras with thrilling river crossings if the opportunity arises!
Breathtaking panorama of these african plains and enjoy sundowners with views of the Oloololo Escarpment. Scheduled tribal dance by local Maasai at your lodging.
*SPECIALS* Option for a sunrise hot air balloon safari and guided nature walk of indigenous flora & fauna.
Day 6-7: The Greater Mara at a riverside luxury tented camp
Luxury tented camp stay to complete your safari experience. A top favourite is a one that overlooks a river, offering excitement during river crossings season.
This is a very different part of Maasai Mara National Reserve. Local lion prides and cheetahs await!

Depending on your flight timings, we can arrange a half-day or overnight stay in Nairobi.
Enjoy souvenir shopping or explore the city’s vibrant dining scene including the internationally acclaimed farm-to-table Cultiva Farm
