Kenya Camping Safari Itinerary
Day 1 Nairobi to Amboseli
This morning we depart on our Kenya camping adventure. Drive to Amboseli National Park nestled at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain. Greet Amboseli’s famous matriarch elephants with their herds in tow while you explore the park.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 Amboseli National Park
Spend the entire day game driving in Amboseli National Park. Mount Kilimanjaro forms a majestic backdrop. Observe spectacular wildlife displays. Lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, and buffalo, the Big Five, reside here.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 Lake Naivasha
The best time to view the grand Mount Kilimanjaro is at dawn, when the clouds lift and the light is clear and soft. We will take an early morning game drive to witness the African sunrise. As the sun distributes its golden rays to the dry savannah, it also lightens the majestic mountain. It’s a very good photo opportunity. After this game drive we have breakfast before departing for Lake Naivasha.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 Lake Naivasha
Today there is opportunity to go cycling in Hells Gate National Park. Other options are to take a boat trip to Crescent Island, sail on Lake Oloiden, or take a walk in the village while at Lake Naivasha. In the afternoon, you may choose to take high tea at Elsamere. This is where Joy and George Adamson once lived. Joy and George spent much of their lives working with lions and studying their behaviour. Subsequently, Elsa was the most famous lion, about whom the movie “Born Free” was about. Elsamere looks out over Lake Naivasha, providing a beautiful setting to enjoy afternoon tea.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5 Masai Mara National Reserve
Set off to the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve arriving in time for lunch. Masai Mara, Kenya’s greatest wildlife reserve, is without a doubt Africa’s most famous safari destination. Over two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelles migrate here annually. The park also hosts rhino, giraffe, topi, elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, jackals, hyena, hippo and much more. Consequently, this park has more wildlife than anywhere in East Africa. Meander the savannah on a late afternoon game drive followed by dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6 Masai Mara
Spend a full day game driving in the reserve. Watch predators hunting, search for your favourite African animals. The abundance and variety of game in this reserve is nothing short of amazing. Nearly every mammal can be seen in the Masai Mara, including various antelopes, scavengers like hyena and vultures, and all the cats (lion, cheetah and leopard).
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 7 Nairobi
Start your day by proceeding on another game drive. An option is an early morning hot air balloon flight, including full champagne breakfast in the savannah. Finally, before heading back to Nairobi, there is the option to visit a Masai village. Here we can get an insight into their striking culture and traditions.
