9 DAY LUXURY KENYA SAFARI

Today we depart by road for Tsavo West National Park. You will arrive in time for lunch and an optional
afternoon or evening game drive. Tsavo West is the most visited section in Tsavo National Park, offering
many attractions apart from its wildlife. The foremost is the famous Mzima Springs, where up to 227.3
million litres of cool, crystal clear water flows out of the ground through porous volcanic rocks. The
water is believed to originate from Chuyulu Hills via an underground river. Dinner and your overnight
stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Salt Lick Safari Lodge
Meals: Lunch, dinner & drinking water (Other drinks not included)

After breakfast we will go on a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in hand. One noteworthy place
worth visiting here is the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them.
From here there are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be
experienced from the poacher's lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater, which is less than 200-years old
and composed of black coke, is also worth visiting and can be climbed if one is interested. This area is a
good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that is as agile as its Swahili name: mbuzi mawe
(mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian
border running through it. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Salt Lick Safari Lodge
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

We will get an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park. You will go on an afternoon
game drive after checking in at your accommodation and eating lunch.
Amboseli National Park is situated south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed
and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland. In the southern area there are a number of small,
rocky, volcanic hills. Around the Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok swamps, the vegetation is
lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Ol Tukai Lodge
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. Despite its
changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in all of Africa to experience
elephants at close range. Elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps form the highlights of any safari!
An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast. You will see the singing and dancing
that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a
poignant experience.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Ol Tukai Lodge
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

In the early morning you will drive to Lake Naivasha, the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley
lakes. Sitting at 1910m (6200ft), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus
(ancient Egyptians once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch and herons hide
in it while searching for food. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species
have been recorded). It is also a favourite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail,
water ski, and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them (due to the
altitude) but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the
country's fledgling wine industry. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the Great Rift Valley and the famous Lake Nakuru
National Park. Known all over the world for its flamingoes and its alkaline lake, this park is recognized as
being one of the natural wonders of the world. It is also a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over
40 black and over 60 white rhinos. The flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At
times there may be almost two million of them in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink
band around the edge of the lakeshore. You will arrive here in time for lunch then go on an afternoon
game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Lake Nakuru Sopa
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Today you will go on an early morning game drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. This is one of the
few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed in the numbers that were once
common across all the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem,
the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant
predators. Arrive in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay
will be at the lodge.
Accommodation: Mara Serena
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

After breakfast, we have a full day game drive in the Masai Mara (lunch will be a picnic). The reserve is
well known for its black-maned lions and abundant wildlife. This is one of the few places where it's
possible to see the big five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek
shelter from the hot sun under vehicles. Several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of
prospective prey!
For the bird enthusiasts - almost 500 species have been recorded here. Among these include 16 species of
eagle, many hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four species of bustard
(including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and nine species of sunbirds. Dinner and
your overnight stay will be at a campsite or lodge.
An optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. Alternatively, you can go on a hot air
balloon ride.
Accommodation: Mara Serena Camp
Meals & Drinks: All meals included, drinking water (Other drinks not included)

You will embark on a morning game drive after breakfast. Later you will return to Nairobi. Lunch will be

Pick up from the hotel at 7am to board the Pilli Pipa Dhow Cruise at Wasini Island. The cruise features a light
breakfast, a seafood lunch in the Swahili language, and unlimited drinks. On the boat, take pleasure in Kenyan
coffee, tea, and breakfast treats while keeping an eye out for dolphins, turtles, whale sharks, and humpback whales.
Life jackets, snorkeling gear, and on-the-water assistance from snorkeling guides are all available upon request. Two
snorkeling stops allow you the chance to observe the diverse species, including enormous shoals of fish, moray eels,
stingrays, and more, that inhabits these coral reefs.
Later, head to Wasini Island for a seafood lunch (other diet options available for vegans or those allergic to sea food)
of freshly caught crab and fish, served with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. After lunch, relax by the beach or in
