At A Glance
Before heading off on six days of safari adventure, spend a night in Kenya’s capital of Nairobi. Board your light aircraft and fly off, landing in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak, to explore Amboseli National Park, famed for its large elephant herds. After three glorious days, fly out, heading west into the game-filled savannah plains of the Masai Mara for another three remarkable days on safari.
Day by day
Nairobi
Welcome to Kenya! On your arrival in Nairobi, a representative will meet and assist you through immigration and customs before your guest manager escorts you by private vehicle to Eka Hotel. Settle in and recover from your international flight with the rest of the day at your leisure.
Amboseli
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before a road transfer to Wilson Domestic Airport for your light aircraft flight into Amboseli. Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge will be awaiting your arrival and transfer you to the lodge to settle in and relax. Head out in the afternoon on your first game drive in Amboseli National Park, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a spectacular backdrop. Return around sunset, with time to freshen up before dinner.
Amboseli
Set off on your early morning game drive, hoping Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-covered peak is clear and uncovered. Return for a late breakfast with the remainder of the morning to relax at the lodge. After lunch, enjoy a late afternoon game drive around the many lakes and springs fed by Kilimanjaro’s melting snows in search of Amboseli’s legendary elephant herds. You’ll be invited to plant an acacia tree as part of the Amboseli Reforestation Project and thereafter return to your lodge for dinner.
Amboseli
Another day to yet again explore this beautiful landscape with its varied wildlife, including hundreds of bird species, on your morning and afternoon game drives. Enjoy some relaxing time at the lodge between your safari adventures. This evening you’ll be treated to a lantern-lit bush dinner, under a grove of acacia trees and while your six-course dinner is being prepared, the Maasai warriors will entertain you with song and dance.
Masai Mara
Enjoy breakfast and head off to the airstrip for your flight to the Masai Mara via Wilson Domestic Airport. You’ll be welcomed by the lodge and transferred on a game drive as you make your way to Mara Serena Safari Lodge. Enjoy lunch and freshen up for your late afternoon game drive. Dinner will be served at the lodge before ending the day around the crackling campfire.
Masai Mara
An early morning wake up call, a hot cup of coffee and it’s time to board your game viewing vehicle for some exceptional game viewing. Breathe in the fresh morning air as you watch herds of plains game and search for the Big-5. Some leisure time awaits on your return to the lodge where you can savour lunch, take a dip in the cool pool and kick back on a sun lounger, absorbing the panoramic views. Back on the wheels for your afternoon game drive, you may even be lucky enough to spot some predators stalking their prey. Enjoy dinner at the lodge and end the day under the star-studded African sky.
Masai Mara
As dawn unfolds, enjoy a game driving through the Masai Mara. Stop for a picnic breakfast on the Mara River with the hippo’s basking on the banks and gazelle grazing close by. Return to the lodge for some rest and relaxation while enjoying the facilities at the lodge. Head out on your next game spotting expedition with the sun setting over the African bush and the cooler air settles in. Enjoy dinner at the lodge and share stories of the day around the glowing fire.

Destinations on this trip
Kenya has as good a claim as anywhere to being the country where modern safaris began, and where they’re done best, and it still regularly features high on travel magazines ‘must-visit’ lists. Kenya has been doing what it does best for decades, and yet there’s always something new to discover on Kenya safaris.
Amboseli is known as Kenya’s land of giants, and it’s not hard to see why. Africa’s tallest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, towers over the national park, and it’s also one of the best places in East Africa to encounter elephant in numbers. No wonder people use superlatives to describe Amboseli safaris.
The place that launched a thousand clips, and millions of images. There’s no more iconic safari destination than Kenya’s Masai Mara, with its eponymous tribespeople, millions of thundering hooves, and equal parts drama, magic and romance. Kenya itineraries without Masai Mara safaris are almost unthinkable, and every moment spent there is unforgettable.
