7-Day Kenya Safari from Nairobi with Tsavo, Amboseli and Masai Mara

• Leave Mombasa or Nairobi at 6:45 am and drive north towards the vast wilderness of Tsavo East, Kenya's oldest and largest park. It is guarded by the limitless lava reaches of the Yatta Plateau and patrolled by some of the largest elephant herds.
• Arrive at the lodge in good time for an early lunch after an introductory game drive in the park.
• Enjoy game viewing or explore the park in the late afternoon, around 4:30 p.m. Spot elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, kudus, zebras, and wildebeest.

Dinner and overnight stay at Aruba Lodge or similar standard accommodation. The meal plan includes lunch and dinner.

• Leave for Tsavo West National Park for lunch at Kilaguni Serena Lodge.
• Visit the most iconic attraction in the park, Mzima Springs. The crystal-clear water of this chain of lakes is filtered through the volcanic rocks of the Chyulu Hills just to the north. Shaded by majestic fig and acacia trees, the lakes swarm with fish, large crocodiles, and some big pods of hippos.
• Enjoy the experience of being on safari in Tsavo West, which is very different from a safari in Tsavo East or the Masai Mara, where you often have views across wide-open country. Tsavo West safaris are more about unexpected sights as you turn a bend on a wooded track.
• Admire the outstanding birdlife in the park. If you're on a birdwatching safari, you'll be amazed by the number of sightings here. The white-headed buffalo weaver is a particularly noticeable species, with its prominent bright red rump, and there are at least eight recorded hornbill species here.

The meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

• Go for a game drive in the park, including a visit to Mzima Springs, where hippos, crocodiles, and various species of fish can be seen in the crystal-clear waters.
• Proceed to Amboseli Game Park. Amboseli is the plain area below Mount Kilimanjaro. The waters from melted snow drain down the mountain under lava flows and surface in Amboseli, creating a green belt of swampland amidst dusty plains. Here, hippos, elephants, and birdlife can be seen against the backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped mountain.
• Enjoy a picnic lunch en route, arriving in good time for afternoon and evening game viewing in the park.

Dinner and overnight at Amboseli Kibo Safari Camp. The meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

• Depart Amboseli for Lake Nakuru National Park. Lunch is served en route.
• Continue to Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving in the late afternoon. This park has more than 25 eastern black rhinoceros, one of the country's largest concentrations. There are also several Rothschild's giraffes, relocated for safety from western Kenya beginning in 1977. Waterbucks are very common, and both Kenyan subspecies are found here. Among the predators are lions, cheetahs, and leopards, the latter being seen much more frequently in recent times.
• Check in and relax by cooling off in the swimming pool if you wish, at no extra cost.
• Proceed to the park at around 16:00 hrs for game viewing. Covering 188 km2, it is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions, of flamingos nesting along the shores.

The rest of the evening ends at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge on a full-board basis.

• Depart from Lake Nakuru for Masai Mara Game Reserve and enjoy lunch en route.
• Arrive in Maasai Mara, relax, and after the sun has cooled down, proceed for a game drive in search of black-maned lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, and other plains game.

Return to Keekorok Lodge late in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

• Set aside a whole day for game viewing in Kenya's finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.
• Admire wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, and wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.
• Hopefully, you can witness the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August, when millions of these grazers move north from the Serengeti.

Overnight at the same lodge inside the park.

• Go for an early morning savannah game viewing followed by a late breakfast.
• Depart from Masai Mara for Nairobi.
