Your adventure begins in Nairobi, Kenya’s vibrant capital. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted by your guide, who will introduce you to Kenya’s captivating wildlife and rich cultural heritage. If you arrive on an early flight, we will provide you with lunch and do some sightseeing in Nairobi. We may visit the Nairobi National Museum, which is always a good introduction to the country. Later, you can have dinner in one of Nairobi's restaurants.

After breakfast in Nairobi, you will embark on a thrilling drive towards Samburu National Reserve. The journey will take you through the heart of Kenya’s captivating landscapes, transitioning from the green highlands of Nairobi to the dry, rugged terrain of northern Kenya. We will have a stopover for lunch in Nanyuki and arrive in Samburu in the afternoon, which is a perfect time for the afternoon game drive. Samburu is home to a range of unique wildlife, including the famous Samburu Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk.

Rise early to catch the best wildlife activity. The cool morning hours offer perfect opportunities to see the animals in action, from predators on the prowl to herds of elephants crossing the river. Look out for lions, hyenas, and cheetahs as they wake up to start their day. The morning game drive is also a good time for birdwatching. Samburu is home to hundreds of bird species, including vultures, eagles, and hornbills. The practice is to go on early morning and late afternoon game drives to catch the animals when they are at their most active.

After your time in Samburu, take a scenic drive south towards Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya's most picturesque lakes. The journey is a perfect opportunity to witness the dramatic changes in the landscape as you descend from the dry plains of Samburu into the verdant valleys of the Great Rift Valley. The day's destination is Crater Lake Camp, a beautiful and serene camp near a crater lake in the Mau Escarpment area, just outside Naivasha. The camp is set within a game sanctuary, offering visitors a chance to experience nature in a peaceful and tranquil environment, far from the more crowded tourist spots. The camp offers guided nature walks through the surrounding area, which is rich in both flora and fauna

On this day, after breakfast, we will leave the lodge and head to Hell's Gate National Park, which is a unique and stunning park located near Lake Naivasha. It was established in 1984 and is notable for its dramatic scenery, including deep ravines, towering cliffs, and geothermal activity. The park is named after a narrow break in the cliffs that resembles a gate, which early explorers referred to as "Hell's Gate". Unlike many other parks in Kenya, visitors can explore the park on foot or by bicycle, allowing for a more intimate experience with nature. Here, we will hopefully spot buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and various bird species during our exploration. The hike will end at the geothermal spa, where we will take a swim and enjoy some lunch before taking a ride back to Crater Lake Camp.

After breakfast, we will drive to Amboseli National Park, a journey that may take approximately 4 to 5 hours. As you approach the park, the grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro begins to emerge on the horizon, adding an air of anticipation to your arrival. Check in at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, which offers panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and direct access to the park's wildlife-rich areas. After a light lunch, we will head out on your first afternoon game drive.

On this day, we will do morning and late afternoon game drives. Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds. You'll also have the chance to see lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and numerous bird species. The park is an excellent place for photographers, especially with the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Start your day early with a morning game drive in Amboseli National Park. The cool morning hours are perfect for wildlife sightings, as animals are most active at this time. As the sun rises, the park's landscape is bathed in a golden glow, creating beautiful photography opportunities. After that, head back to the hotel for breakfast. Later, check out and drive to the train station. The train ride offers a unique and scenic way to end your safari experience. Depending on the train service available, you’ll enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride through Kenya’s stunning landscapes. Once you arrive in Nairobi, you’ll be greeted at the train station. From there, be dropped off at your hotel.

Depending on your departure time, we may have time to visit the Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre before dropping you off at JKIA.
