OVERVIEW:

DAY 1: EXPERIENCE NAIROBI
Arrive in Nairobi where you will be greeted at the airport and escorted to your hotel. If you choose to arrive in the morning or early afternoon, you will have the added option to experience Nairobi. Visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, The Giraffe Center, or the Karen Blixen Museum, and dine at the famed Carnivore Restaurant. Service is our specialty! We will be there every step of the way to help guide you, and we'll set everything up according to your preferences so you can relax and enjoy your adventure!

DAY 2: TRAVEL TO AMBOSELI
After breakfast, depart to Amboseli National Park. Located southeast of Nairobi, Amboseli is an area of low, "scrubby" vegetation and open grassy plains, all of which makes for easy game viewing. It's best known for its large herds of elephants and stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain. During game drives, you are guaranteed to see elephants, but you may also see lions, hippos, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo, leopart, spotted hyena, giraffe, cheetah, and over 300 kinds of birds. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive.

DAY 3: AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
Full days of game viewing in Amboseli.

DAY 4: TRAVEL TO SWEETWATERS / OL PEJETA CONSERVANCY
After breakfast, board your flight to Nanyuki. Upon landing, you will be greeted at the airstrip and taken to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, located on the plains of Mount Kenya, where seeing rhinos is guaranteed. Host to the "Big Five" (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, and leopard) and the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, Ol Pejeta is also home to the last three Northern White Rhino on Earth, protected under 24-hour armed guard. It also hosts Kenya's only chimpanzee sanctuary (formed by Jane Goodall), and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species.

DAY 5: TRAVEL TO SAMBURU
After breakfast, depart to Samburu National Reserve, a park famous for its rugged beauty, rich wildlife and semi-nomadic Samburu tribesmen. In addition to a plethora of big cats, Samburu offers a "Special 5" unique to the area: the long-necked gerenuk, Grevvy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe, Beisa Oryx and the Somali ostrich.

DAY 6: SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE
Full days of game viewing in Samburu.

DAY 7: TRAVEL TO MASAI MARA
Depart after breakfast and board your flight for the unparalleled beauty of Masai Mara where you will enjoy an afternoon game drive. Famed for its large population of black-maned Masai lions, African leopards and Tanzanian cheetahs, as well as the Great Migration, Nature's grand spectacle of zebra and wildebeest journeying to and from the Serengeti in search of fresh grasses every year from July to October. 

DAYS 8-9: MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
Spend full days exploring the rolling hills and plains of the Mara for a chance to spot lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and—if you're lucky—a black rhino. Those traveling in July and August can expect to experience The Great Migration. Enjoy extras like a Hot Air Balloon Ride over the plains, a Sundowner, or an Evening Game Drive. We strive to fulfill your every desire to make this the trip of your lifetime!

DAY 10 - RETURN TO NAIROBI:
Travel back to Nairobi where you can choose to travel home, or stay on to enjoy one of our travel extensions, such as the relaxing beaches of Zanzibar.
