Highlights of Kenya & Great Migration Safari

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), you will be greeted by a representative from African Diurnal Safaris, who will facilitate the transfer to the hotel in Nairobi at your booked accommodation.

After enjoying breakfast in Nairobi, you will embark on a three-hour drive southward through the Maasai territories, ultimately reaching Amboseli National Park. The term “Amboseli” translates to “place of water” in the Maa language, aptly reflecting its essence. Upon your arrival, you will have the option to enjoy a picnic lunch within the park or a hot meal at your lodge. Once you have replenished your energy, you will venture into the park for an afternoon game drive, where you can observe herds of wildebeests and zebras, majestic lions, stealthy hyenas, various antelope species, and some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya, all framed by the stunning silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro.

After the day’s adventures, you will return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay

Amboseli National Park, often referred to as the Royal Court of Kilimanjaro, provides breathtaking vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. To fully appreciate these stunning views, an early rise to witness the sunrise is essential. The dawn light beautifully illuminates Kilimanjaro, casting a rosy hue on its snow-capped summit and enveloping the mountainside in a rich purple shade that is truly awe-inspiring. This picturesque backdrop serves as an extraordinary setting for your breakfast.

Additionally, embarking on an early morning game drive enhances your chances of observing wildlife, as predators like lions and leopards are notably more active during the cooler, low-light hours. Following your game drive, you will proceed to Lake Naivasha, where your accommodation awaits for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today, you will set out on a boat excursion across this expansive freshwater lake, which is situated at the highest point of the Kenyan Rift Valley, reaching an elevation of 1884 meters and serving as a habitat for a diverse array of wildlife. During your journey, you will have the opportunity to spot hippos and various bird species before arriving at Crescent Island.

Once on the island, you will stroll through the conservatory, where you can observe zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and monkeys in their natural habitat, free from the threat of predators. The view of the lake is truly exceptional; in addition to the wildlife, you will admire the shores adorned with vibrant flowers and the majestic peaks of the Great Rift Valley. After your return to the lakeshore, you will proceed to Masai Mara, where you will check into your reserved accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Rise early to seize the unique chance to experience a breathtaking sunrise over the Masai Mara. Following a brief coffee break, you will venture into the park to witness the sun igniting the savannah, while the big cats take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures to hunt for their next meal. Alternatively, consider embarking on a hot air balloon safari, allowing you to glide above the vibrant landscape before landing on the plains for a delightful champagne breakfast amidst the wildlife. Inquire with your safari expert about the possibility of incorporating this balloon adventure into your itinerary. Afterward, you will return to your lodge for a leisurely late breakfast, followed by the preparation of a picnic lunch as you set out for a full day of exploration in the Masai Mara. After an exhilarating day, you will return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

You will begin your day with an early breakfast, enjoying the stunning views of the Masai Mara as you bid farewell. A picnic lunch en route to Nairobi will conclude your nature and wildlife adventure before you return to your reserved hotel in Nairobi or are transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your continued journey.
