Day 1 | INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT
Day 2 | ARRIVE NAIROBI

Evening arrival in Nairobi. Reception and transfer to Jacaranda Hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3 | NAIROBI - AMBOLSELI SAFARI (approx. 250kms / 3 hour drive - B, L, D)

After a hearty American breakfast at your hotel (served buffet style), early morning departure for Amboseli Park at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in all of Africa.

Amboseli became a National Reserve in 1995 and is one of the oldest national parks in Kenya, as well as one of the smallest at only 392 kmᵌ. With its unique location at the foot of Kilimanjaro and its snow-capped peak at 5,995 metres of altitude, Amboseli is a truly inspiring natural setting, managed by the Maasai community.

The park is comprised of sandy areas and acacia tortilis woods, and it changes in appearance seasonally. When very hot and dry, it’s not uncommon to see huge expanses of water… but they are only mirages! Amoseli’s main attraction is its large elephant population, as well as its permanent resident birds who flock to the marshes fed by the waters of Kilimanjaro: Jacanas, spoonbills, flamingos, cormorants, pelicans, storks, Goliath herons, gray and white herons, etc. It is truly a birdwatchers’ paradise.

Lodge accommodations in the heart of the park.

Day 4 | AMBOSELI SAFARI (B, L, D)

Explore Amboseli Park and observe abundant wildlife. Morning safari, lunch at your lodge and relaxation time (swimming pool), before a second safari in the park departs in the afternoon.

At the end of the day, your guide will show you the elephant herds that traditionally face Kilimanjaro at sunset.

Lodge accommodations in the heart of the park.

Day 5 | TSAVO PARK SAFARI (250 kms / 4 hour safari - B, L, D)

After breakfast, depart for Tsavo Park, one of the lesser-known national parks in the country, yet one of the largest in the region.

Accommodations in small, elegant camp.

Day 6 | WEST TSAVO PARK SAFARI (B, L, D)

Day 8 | NGORONGORO CRATER SAFARI (B, L, D)

You will arrive at the peak of the crater (at 2,300 m), where you’ll be greeted by magnificent panoramic views of the “caldera”, 20 kms in diameter and the second largest crater in the world. In addition to the landscape’s incredible beauty, the first views from the peak are breathtaking and the safari that follows is simply unforgettable. Photo stop on the peak before begin your 4x4 descent.

Crater safari and picnic lunch with your guide.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. However, the crater forms only a small part of the protected Ngorongoro region and its spectacular natural areas. The “Ngorongoro Conservation Area”, 8,292 km² in area, was elevated to the status of an international biosphere reserve and belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage collection.

More than 25,000 wild animals have taken up residence inside the crater, with more than two million wild animals living within the protected areas, combining to form a safari adventure paradise!

Lodge accommodations.

Days 9 and 10 | SERENGETI SAFARI (B, L, D)

Morning trip to the legendary Serengeti, the world’s most famous zoo! Serengeti means “endless plains” in the Masai language, which is a well-deserved name for the vast savannahs, interspersed with kopjies (large rock piles).

Renowned for its abundance of cheetahs and lions, the Serengeti is famous for the annual migration of its herbivores: a unique spectacle of thousands of wildebeest and zebras in search of greener pastures! Your experienced guide will lead you to sites where you can observe the great migration.
