NASERIAN - 7 DAYS KENYA SAFARI (Superior 4 star)

This morning you will be met by a member of ZIDI TRAVEL at your Nairobi Hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

After a short briefing on the events ahead, meet your safari guide and depart for Amboseli National Park. A scenic park in its own right, Amboseli is synonymous with two particular things — majestic herds of elephant and glorious views of Mount Kilimanjaro with its impressive Uhuru Peak soaring to 19,341 feet.

Arrive and embark on a game viewing drive as you are transferred to your lodge or tented camp for lunch. Afternoon at leisure before venturing to the park for a game viewing drive till sunset.

Waters running down from Mount Kilimanjaro create perennial swamps and wetlands that are a feature of the park, and draw the dense concentration of elephants which number over 1000. These lush swamps also attract hippos, as well as buffalo.

Enjoy your day on early morning and afternoon game drives, crisscrossing the landscape in search of elephants, zebras and wildebeests along the salt-pan trails.

Prepare for predator sightings, as opportunistic animals begin roaming the plains in search of prey. Spotted hyenas are plentiful, as are jackals, warthogs, olive baboons and vervet monkeys.

Climb The Observation Hill which allows an overall view of the whole park especially the swamps which are a centre of activity for elephants, hippos, buffaloes and abundant water birds. The surrounding flat grasslands are home to grazing antelopes.

Exit Amboseli and depart for Lake Naivasha. Stop en route in Nairobi for lunch. Continue to Lake Naivasha where upon arrival, you will have a BOAT SAFARI.

Lake Naivasha, is the highest lake in the Rift Valley. Fringed by papyrus and with the extinct Mount Longonot as a backdrop, this is a wonderful place to watch and photograph birds. Everything from pelicans to cranes to smaller, more brightly coloured birds are on display. The waters themselves are home to wallowing hippopotamuses, and along the shores, you'll spot Cape Buffalo and other herbivores.

Your drive now takes you to the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous wildlife reserve and the setting for much of the film Out of Africa. It is a classic savannah grasslands, where animals are plentiful and the vistas spectacular. Arrive and embark on a game viewing drive en route to your lodge or tented camp for lunch. Relax at leisure this afternoon before venturing to the reserve for a game viewing drive.

Masai Mara, also known as the “Jewel of Africa,” is inhabited by many of Africa's most popular wild animals, including lions, elephants, cape buffalo, and rhinoceros, as well as giraffes, hippos, hyenas, Nile crocodiles, wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, antelopes, and more.

This day you will have an early start at 6am with a wake-up call. Tea and biscuits are served at sunrise as you head off on your early-morning game-drive. This is generally the best time to spot the wildlife, as the temperature is cool and the animals are still very active, including the big cats, which will be returning from a night of hunting. After about two hours, return to your lodge / tented camp for a hearty breakfast.

The wildlife viewing is superb throughout the year. Observe massive crocodiles basking in the sun, see the graceful hippos wallowing in muddy water and catch the antics of mischievous monkeys overhead. Watch, too, as the African savannah elephants roaming along the forest edge and spot cheetahs in the open savannah eyeing off their next meal.

Full day in Masai Mara. Savanaandbeach.com is completely flexible with your preferences and this day will be organized according to your wishes. Your guide will discuss with you the best timings for you, including the game drives and the wake up time. A wide variety of activities are also available at your hotel including guided nature walks, bush dining and sundowners.

Each year between end of June and October, one of nature's grandest spectacles; the wildebeest migration takes place in Masai Mara. Over one-and-a-half million wildebeest accompanied by half again as many zebras and gazelles, begin their migration from the short-grass plains of the Serengeti to the fresh green pastures of the Masai Mara and its conservancies. This epic trek also presents a golden opportunity for many of Africa’s major predators among them, lions and leopards as well as the crocodiles in the Mara-River.

Start the day with an early morning game drive. See the sun creeping up, about to light up the amazing land. Spot the predators who avoid the heat and listen to the joyous sounds of awakening birds. After a hearty breakfast, check out from your safari lodge and bid farewell to Masai Mara as you set out on a journey back to Nairobi. Our safari guide will transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or back at your city hotel.
