Boat safaris on Lake Naivasha

A wonderful 7-day road safari ideal for a first-time safari experience, visiting Kenya’s top wildlife destinations. Begin by tracking down all the Big Five in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Then take a boat safari on Lake Naivasha and enjoy a walking safari on the private Crescent Island Game Sanctuary and enjoy the thrill of being up close to elephants in Amboseli with amazing views of Kilimanjaro dominating the skyline.

The safari begins in the legendary Masai Mara Game reserve. If you’ve come to the Masai Mara for the world-famous Great Migration, you won’t be disappointed.

The spectacle of one and a half million wildebeest, around 200 000 zebra, and half a million Thomson’s gazelles, as well as numerous other herbivores travelling along their annual circular route between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, is one of the greatest natural events on our planet.

Sightings of all of the Big Five are pretty much guaranteed. Other animals include bat-eared fox, black-backed jackal, spotted hyena, impala, reedbuck, Thomson’s gazelle, eland and topi, and giraffe.

Head to Lake Naivasha for a boat safari and bush walk on Crescent Island Game Sanctuary – a wildlife sanctuary on the eastern shores of the Lake and home to giraffes, waterbucks, zebras, wildebeests, elands, impalas and gazelles and many interesting water birds.

You have the opportunity to get really close to the wildlife of Crescent Island, as you take a walking safari.

The game viewing continues to Amboseli National Park – most famous for its views of elephants framed by snow-capped Kilimanjaro. A bird lovers’ paradise, there are over 400 species of birds including around 50 raptors in Amboseli National Park.

Among the water birds, you could see kingfishers, egrets, black-winged stilts and white pelicans. Amboseli is particularly famous for its large herds of elephants, and you’ll see many of them enjoying the waters of the marshlands, as you safari in this watery wilderness.

On the plains of Amboseli, you’ll see thousands of zebra and Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, as well as wildebeest, and large land birds like the secretary bird and ostrich.

With open landscapes and gazelle to bring down, you could see a cheetah on the hunt. Spotted hyenas, lions and jackals are always nearby where large herbivores are roaming, and you have a good chance of big cat sightings in this extraordinary national park.

Activities in Amboseli include game drives, guided walks, and cultural tours to the Maasai villages to visit the Maasai people. After 2 nights in Amboseli, you board your land cruiser for the journey to Nairobi or to Mombasa.

Day 2 & 3: Discover Masai Mara Game Reserve

The next two days you wake up on safari in the African plains of the great Masai Mara. With the calls of the birds and insects all around you, and the gorgeous colours streaking the endless open skies, you’ll never forget your first morning in the wilds of Africa.

After a full breakfast, you set off on your safari with your guide to explore all of the wonders that the Mara holds in store.

Keep a close watch out for the elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. There is a high concentration of African lions in Masai Mara, and you may also see the black-maned lions that live here.

On the plains, the zebra, antelope, hartebeest, wildebeest and gazelles graze, always under the watchful eye of the predators who hide out under cover of the long grass or shelter high up in acacia trees.

You’ll see the beautiful Masai giraffe browsing on the shrubs and trees that line the rivers and hillsides. In the rivers, you could see hippos and crocodiles, as well as warthogs and buffalo on the river banks.

You’ll be amazed at the sheer number of different birds that your guide will help you identify. From large raptors including vultures to numerous water birds, there are over 470 different bird species that you may see on your wildlife safari today.

Day 4: Masai Mara – Drive to Lake Naivasha (Great Rift Valley)

You leave Masai Mara this morning after another delicious full breakfast for Naivasha. The drive takes you from the rolling hills and savannahs of the Masai Mara up into the mountains of the Kenyan Rift Valley and you arrive at the lovely Lake Naivasha after about 6 hours.

We arrive in time for lunch at our lodge by the lake and early afternoon, we take an optional boat ride on Lake Naivasha. You also visit the Crescent Island Conservancy, a private game reserve that is either an island or a peninsula depending on the water levels of the lake.

Crescent Island is separated from the mainland, so there are few predators on the island, allowing the herbivores to graze in comparative safety.

You have the opportunity to get close to the wildlife of Crescent Island, as you take a walking safari this afternoon. Your guide is extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Crescent Island and will give you great insights into the ecology of the area, pointing out the varied bird and wildlife.

Fish eagles call from the skies above, as you gently explore the island, surrounded by the smells and sounds of the African bush. The Island is a private game sanctuary, which is home to zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, Vervet monkeys, hares, genet cats, waterbuck, and giraffe.

Day 5: Lake Naivasha – Drive to Amboseli National Park

You wake up beside Lake Naivasha this morning and after breakfast, your journey south begins. After travelling for around five hours, you arrive at Amboseli National Park in the afternoon.

Amboseli National Park is in Kenya’s dry land area and receives on average only 350 mm of rainfall. The dusty plains of Amboseli are broken up by lush green marshlands, fed from underground by the melt waters from the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, some 50 km away from the park.

These permanent waters and the grasses and other plants that they support attract an amazing diversity and density of wildlife. You set off on an afternoon wildlife safari through this wonderful landscape today. A bird lovers’ paradise, there are over 400 species of birds including around 50 raptors in Amboseli National Park.

Among the water birds, you could see kingfishers, egrets, black-winged stilts and white pelicans. Amboseli is particularly famous for its large herds of elephants, and you’ll see many of them enjoying the waters of the marshlands, as you safari in this watery wilderness.

Day 6: Explore Amboseli National Park

Waking up to the incredible view of Mount Kilimanjaro snow caps this morning, you set out early, with a whole day of wildlife encounters ahead of you. You can hope to see a lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo in Amboseli today.

From Observation Hill you take in views of the wide expanses of the swamplands teeming with wildlife including hippos, buffalo and elephants. There’s very little vegetation in Amboseli aside from the swamplands, which makes it very easy to view the wildlife here.

Your guide will take you to see the mostly dried-up Lake Amboseli, the dusty, arid landscape an amazing contrast to the brilliant greens of the marshlands. In the acacia woodlands of the Amboseli, you’ll see impala and Masai giraffe browsing, and elephants also gather here in the heat of the day.

On the plains of Amboseli, you’ll see thousands of zebra and Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, as well as wildebeest, and large land birds like the secretary bird and ostrich. With open landscapes and gazelle to bring down, you could see a cheetah on the hunt.

Spotted hyenas, lions and jackals are always nearby where large herbivores are roaming, and you have a good chance of big cat sightings in this extraordinary national park.

After a beautiful sunset over the never-ending horizon of Amboseli, relax and chat about the day with your fellow travellers.
