A wonderful 5-day road safari encompassing some of Kenya’s leading National Parks and Reserves. See Amboseli National Park, famous for its views of Mount Kilimanjaro and good numbers of elephants, Lake Nakuru with its diverse wildlife and distinctive lakes, and the world-renowned Masai Mara.

Our 5-day road safari starts with game viewing in Amboseli National Park, close to the Tanzanian border and flanked by Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is a compact game park, abundant in wildlife, making for excellent game viewing.

Amboseli National Park hosts some of Kenya’s largest elephant herds and is famous for its large bull elephants with their impressive tusks. The Game Park also contains large populations of buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, and various antelope species, such as impalas.

Amboseli National Park is also home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, and many other species of plains game. The park also boasts an abundance of birds, including bee-eaters, kingfishers, pelicans, African fish eagles, and falcons.

From Amboseli, we head to the important wildlife sanctuary of Lake Nakuru National Park, via Nairobi and the scenic Great Rift Valley.  Lake Nakuru hosts over 400 different bird species, including many water birds.

Bird species include the Great White Pelican, African Spoonbill, Yellow-billed Stork, Lesser and Greater Flamingo, and Long-crested Eagle. Lake Nakuru is known as an important wildlife sanctuary for some of Africa’s endangered species, especially black and white rhinos, and Rothschild’s giraffes.

Then it’s off to the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve for unparalleled game viewing in one of Africa’s best game parks. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you will see plenty of wildlife, such as Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topi, impala, hartebeest, and wildebeest.

Elephants, buffalo, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August, when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

Hot-air balloon trips are an outstanding way to see the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at extra cost.
