Once you’ve made yourself at home, head out on an afternoon game drive returning around sunset, with time to freshen up before dinner.
Amboseli
Set off on your early morning game drive, and with a bit of luck, Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-covered peak will be clear and uncovered. Return to the lodge for a late breakfast, with the remainder of the morning to relax. Perhaps a dip in the cool blue pool, or get stuck into a book on a sun lounger before lunch. Head off on 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. Enjoy dinner at the lodge.

Masai Mara

Immediately begin game viewing, passing wildlife herds on the vast savannah plains as you drive towards Porini Lion Camp set on the banks of a seasonal river with hippo pools near camp. Enjoy lunch before taking a late afternoon game drive and returning to camp for dinner.
Masai Mara
Wake up at the crack of dawn and head off in your 4X4 game viewing vehicle for some of the Masai Mara’s exceptional game viewing. Witness the sun rising over the savannah grasslands, the silhouette of giraffe, elephant, wildebeest – and many more – on the horizon. Lunch and an afternoon siesta are in order before returning to the plains your afternoon game drive. Perhaps you’ll be treated to the Big-5 this afternoon? Return to camp for dinner followed by a crackling campfire while the sounds of the night encapsulate you.
Masai Mara
Rise to the sounds of the birds, heading off on your first exciting game drive of the day. Endless opportunity awaits, a predator stalking its prey, a fish eagle calling over the river or a calf being born, who knows what’s in-store today? Enjoy lunch at camp and your next game drive awaits, with sundowners to bring the day to an end. Enjoy dinner before relaxing around a glowing campfire, sharing stories of the day.

Destinations on this trip
Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.
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.
The Serengeti takes its name from a Maasai word meaning ‘where the land runs on forever’. It’s one of the most evocative and iconic safari destinations of all – not least because it’s the stage on which much of the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration is played out each year.
Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater from one of the luxury lodges perched on its rim is one of the most remarkable safari experiences available in Tanzania. Driving across an ancient volcanic caldera, the wildlife may seem familiar, but the setting is quite unique, and this makes for wonderful photographic opportunities.
Ol Pejeta is a pioneering wildlife conservancy in Laikipia – Kenya’s high country. With the emphasis firmly on species conservation, Ol Pejeta safaris offer not only exceptional opportunities to view species that are scarce elsewhere, but also to learn about, contribute to and even participate in ground-breaking and impactful conservation projects.
Lake Elmenteita offers a more secluded safari destination than either of its neighbouring lakes (Naivasha and Nakuru), which can make it feel more exclusive. The unique volcanic landscape adds to the sense of being wonderfully removed from all that’s unimportant – and the unusual wildlife species seen on Lake Elmenteita safaris only reinforce this impression.
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.
