7 Days | Extreme Adventure Safari in Kenya
 

Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli (250 kilometers, three to four hours)

Pick up from the Hotel at 7:30 a.m. then drive to Amboseli National Park passing through the Athi Plains where formerly the Burchell's zebra, the Masai giraffe, and smaller herbivores roamed about freely.

With human encroachment, wildlife is confined to game parks. There is an advantage to this because one has to drive inside a park to be rewarded with the sight of many different species of animals.

Amboseli National Park is reached in the afternoon, for lunch, embark on an afternoon game viewing in the park at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet). In the late afternoon, one is likely to see a lion or cheetah make a kill.

Ideal photography opportunities with Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, providing a beautiful backdrop. You will proceed to the area of Lake Amboseli, which is a wide salt pan, consisting of permanent swamps.

This area has much game, large and small, a high concentration of elephant, rhino, buffalo, Burchell's zebra, eland, Masai giraffe and small species of the antelope family, the common waterbuck, klipspringer, Grant's gazelle, impala, and topi.

Return back to the lodge for dinner and overnight. Accommodation and meals included. You may stay in Kibo safari camp or Amboseli Sopa Lodge.

Day 3: Amboseli to Lake Naivasha (360 kilometers, six hours)

After breakfast, check out and drive to Lake Naivasha. Optional activities which include: a visit to Hell's Gate National Park, characterized by diverse topography and geological scenery. The park is home to a profusion of plains game and birdlife. Walking is permitted, making it ideal for hiking, biking, and rock climbing.

Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus. The lake is almost 13 kilometres across, but its waters are shallow with an average depth of five meters. Afternoon wind and storms can cause the Lake to become suddenly rough and produce high waves.

Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow barked Acacia Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with birdlife, and Naivasha is known as a world-class birding. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores.

Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the Lakes large hippo population sleeps the day out in the shallows. Accommodation and meals included. You will stay in Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, Lake Naivasha Cresent Camp, and Elsamere Lodge.

Day 4: Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara (180 kilometers, four to five hours)

After breakfast, check out and drive to Masai Mara via Narok town then enter the Masai Mara road and drive across the plains to the camp. Check in at the lodge for lunch. The meals are buffet, enjoyed either in the dining or under the shade of indigenous trees.

The culinary affair is indeed one to delight the senses, have a few minutes relaxing and enjoying the surrounding before you depart for an afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five amongst other wild game.

Day 6: Masai Mara

After breakfast, you will have a full day game viewing in Maasai Mara. Spend the whole day in the Masai Mara Game Reserve with both morning and afternoon game drives alternatively a full day game viewing with picnic lunch, Masai Mara Game Reserve offers wonderful scenery and plenty of game.

It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where a visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago. Explore this part of the Northern Serengeti Ecosystem where the great wildebeest migration takes place.

The plain is literally covered with these animals. Grunts and other animal sounds are heard, and territorial fights are commonplace. The migration, now declared the Seventh Wonder of the World takes place from end July to September. The Reserve forms a northern extension to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.

Renowned for its magnificent Big Cat population that hunt the wildebeest, zebra and other plains game that dominate the Mara, it has even been nicknamed the Kingdom of the Lions. Finding a pride of lions (there is some 400 lions resident in the reserve and neighbouring conservancies) is normally relatively easy, and high on most visitors' must-see lists.

Leopards are also seen increasingly often, and good sightings of cheetahs can be expected. Other predators regularly seen throughout the reserve and conservancies include fascinating spotted hyenas (rarely bothered by human observers and compelling in their social interactions) black-backed and side-striped jackals, and cute pairs of bat-eared foxes.

With luck, you may also see a Serval - a lanky, striped and spotted cat of tall grass and bush, adept at catching small mammals and birds. The most rear predator of the Masai Mara, the wild dog, is a beautiful, nomadic pack animal.

At one time almost extinct in the region, one or two packs (and what appear to be smaller scouting parties of two or three individuals) are being seen in many areas, though still not on a regular basis. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight. Accommodation and meals included in Mara Sopa Lodge.

Day 7: Masai Mara to Nairobi (280 kilometers, five to six hours drive)

After breakfast, you will have a morning game viewing in Maasai Mara with the chance to see the Big Five probably on a hunting mission. Soak in the abundance of untamed wilderness, fresh and natural scenery, filled with exotic wildlife during our expertly guided game drives enjoyed in open vehicles. Later, drive back to Nairobi arriving late in the afternoon. Drop off at your hotel or transfer to the airport for your flight back home.
