This special package takes you through 3 of Kenya's celebrated wildlife sanctuaries - Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. The tour starts with a drive to Amboseli National Park, Kenya's "Elephant Country." Famous for its large herds of elephants, Amboseli sits on the lower slopes of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro. From Amboseli, the tour heads on to Lake Naivasha. The lake and its surroundings are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya's prime agricultural regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow-barked Acacia Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with birdlife, and Naivasha is known as a world-class birding destination. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps, and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops, while the lake's large hippo populations sleep the day out in the shallows. The tour culminates with a safari to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, the site of one of the most spectacular phenomena of the natural world - the Great Annual Wildebeest Migration. Feted as one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World," this cross-border event is one of the last great migrations and a unique world heritage. The Mara is Kenya's most famous and finest game sanctuary. In the months of June and July each year, the wildebeests in their troops arrive at the Kenyan border, ready to cross the steep banks of the broad and fast-flowing Mara River. This crossing is truly the greatest episode of the entire migration. Hot on their heels are the predators of the savannah - lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures. The banks of the Mara River provide one of the best vantage points to witness the drama. The Mara also offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will most likely see the Big Five - lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant, not to mention numerous plains animals.
