Itinerary

Day 1

Drive to Tsavo east game reserve and have lunch at Voi Wildlife lodge. Go for game viewing in the afternoon and back to the hotel for the evening.

Day 2

Move from Tsavo east to Tsavo west. Head northwest on the main Nairobi Mombasa road until you reach the town of Mtito Andei, Here you'll enter Tsavo West National Park which, together with Tsavo East, forms the largest of Kenya's parks. Spotting game as you go particularly Tsavo's elephants, coloured red by the Tsavo soil reaching Kilaguni Serena Lodge late in the afternoon. Dinner and overnight at Kilaguni Serena lodge.

Day 3

Early morning game drive and return for breakfast at Kilaguni Serena Lodge.
Kilaguni Serena lodge was the first ever lodge to be built in a national park - the second largest park in Kenya. There after depart for Amboseli National park passing through the spectacular Shetani lava flow, reminder of the molten outpouring that spilled down the scenic slopes of the nearby Chyulu Hills over the last three centuries. By lunchtime you'll reach Amboseli Serena Lodge, in the heart of the park and featuring unique architecture reminiscent of Maasai village and, of course, dramatic views of Africa's highest mountain in the background (the Kilimanjaro). Buffet lunch at the Lodge. Enjoy afternoon game viewing drive in the Park, then have dinner and overnight.

Day 4

A cup of tea or coffee will be served in the restaurant before setting out for an early morning game drive. Return back to the lodge for breakfast and depart for Nairobi. Perhaps catching a clear view of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as you leave Amboseli behind, head west to the colorful border town of Namanga, where you may find a good bargain on unique Maasai beadwork. Turn north along a good tarmac road across the beautiful and seemingly never ending Athi plains arriving in Kenya's bustling capital city, Nairobi. Have lunch at the famous Carnivore restaurant. There after drive west to view point and down the escarpment to the Rift Valley floor heading for the famous for Lake Nakuru National park.

Day 5

After breakfast have game drives and watch the famous flamingoes. Go back to the hotel for lunch. Have an afternoon game drive and get back to the hotel for dinner and over night.

Day 6

Drive to Masai Mara after breakfast for a two hour drive. Check in at Mara Serena Lodge in time for lunch. Enjoy a full afternoon game drive and be back to the hotel in the evening for dinner.

Day 7

Full day game viewing in Masai Mara with an early morning, mid morning and afternoon game viewing drives. Certainly the most frequented game reserve in Kenya, Masai Mara is a magnificent landscape of open plains divided by the Mara River and its tributaries, and punctuated by marshes and forests. This 650 sq kilometer reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen anywhere considering its size. During the seasonal migrations, Masai Mara is home to up to a million wildebeest and an equally impressive number of zebra that move into the area from neighboring Serengeti National Park, in Tanzania. The reserve is home to all the “big five” and it is also possible to observe; baboon, eland, ostrich, bat-eared fox, jackal, Cheetah, and the rivers abound with hippos and crocodiles. Meals and overnight at the Lodge.

Day 8

After a cup of tea or Coffee at the restaurant, your Safari driver guide will be awaiting you for an early morning game drive. Drive back to the lodge for your breakfast. After breakfast drive back to Nairobi arriving in time for lunch at the Nairobi Holiday Inn. A day room will be provided for afternoon rest before departure to the airport for your evening flight home.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
