Upon your arrival at the airport, we will warmly welcome you before embarking on a journey to Hell’s Gate National Park. Here, you’ll have the unique opportunity to enjoy a cycling safari and hike through the park’s famous gorges.
Named for its intense geothermal activity, Hell’s Gate National Park is a breathtaking section of the Great Rift Valley. Its dramatic landscapes feature towering cliffs, deep gorges, rugged rock formations, scrub-covered volcanoes, and steaming geothermal vents, creating one of the most striking sceneries in Africa. In addition to its diverse wildlife, including raptors, visitors can engage in thrilling activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, and unwinding in a natural spa—making it a perfect day-trip destination from Nairobi.
After exploring Hell’s Gate, you will continue your journey to Lake Nakuru.
After breakfast, embark on an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, home to a thriving population of black and white rhinos, along with a diverse array of wildlife. Following the game drive, return to your lodge for a brief rest before setting off for the iconic Maasai Mara. Between July and October, the Great Rift Valley comes alive with the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeest and zebras brave the treacherous Mara River in search of fresh grazing, pursued by formidable predators. Arriving in time for lunch, you'll have the chance to unwind before an exciting evening adventure. At 17:00 hrs, Maasai Morans (warriors) will guide you on a walking safari through the dense wilderness, leading you to a cultural tour of one of the region’s traditional Maasai communities. As the day winds down, return to your lodge or camp for a delightful dinner and an overnight stay under the African sky.
Today's itinerary is flexible, allowing you to plan the day's schedule with your guide. You can opt for a relaxed breakfast before departing at 7:30 AM for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch, offering a chance to explore the park extensively and visit the Mara River, where the Great Migration takes place. This option maximizes wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the day, with a return to the lodge or camp in the late afternoon. Alternatively, you can embark on an early morning game drive at 6:00 AM, then return to your accommodation for breakfast and a leisurely morning. After relaxing until midafternoon, you’ll set off on another game drive at 4:00 PM, returning to the lodge or camp by 6:30 PM for dinner and an overnight stay.
Again, you can choose to split the drives as follows: you can either have a relaxed breakfast and depart for a full-day game drive around 7:30 am with a picnic lunch. The second option is to leave at 6 am for an early morning game drive and return to the lodge for breakfast. Relax until the afternoon game drive at 4 pm. Return at 6.30 pm for dinner and your overnight stay.
Amboseli National Park, located in southern Kenya near the Tanzanian border, is a world-renowned wildlife reserve celebrated for its breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Spanning approximately 392 square kilometers, this relatively small park boasts rich biodiversity and an unforgettable safari experience. Its diverse landscapes, including vast savannahs, swamps, and acacia woodlands, provide a thriving habitat for a variety of wildlife. Amboseli is especially famous for its large herds of African elephants, often seen roaming against the dramatic Kilimanjaro backdrop. The park is also home to lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and a wide array of bird species. A favorite among wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, Amboseli offers exceptional game drives and guided walks, making it one of East Africa’s most picturesque and rewarding safari destinations.

After an exhilarating day of exploration, return to your lodge for a relaxing dinner and an overnight stay.
Have breakfast and head out to the Ngorongoro crater

At around 1600hrs head out for an evening game drive.
The centerpiece of Ngorongoro National Park is the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The crater is a massive volcanic caldera formed by the collapse of an ancient volcano millions of years ago. It has a diameter of about 19 kilometers (12 miles) and a depth of over 600 meters (1,970 feet), making it one of the largest intact calderas in the world. The crater's unique ecosystem supports a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, and numerous species of birds.
After breakfast, set off for Amboseli National Park, crossing the Kenya-Tanzania border with the assistance of our experienced guides. You’ll arrive shortly after noon and check into your lodge or camp, where you’ll enjoy a hot lunch followed by some time to relax. At 4:00 PM, embark on an afternoon game drive in one of the world’s most renowned elephant habitats. Amboseli boasts the highest concentration of elephants globally, with over 1,600 individuals from 56 different families, each identified by name and photograph. After an exciting wildlife experience, return to your lodge or camp to freshen up and enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared dinner before settling in for your overnight stay.
