Days. DAYS
1,2 AND 3
We shall drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Park stopping for
a picnic lunch on the way.
We shall arrive in time for an evening game drive and some sight seeing
before retiring for the night at the Kairi campsite.
The wild life is far from confined within the reserve.
The Thompson's and Gant's gazelle, topi, eland and many more species of
the plain's game offer a rich choice of food for the dominant predators:
the lion, leopard and cheetah which hunt in this pristine wilderness.
In the Mara river be sure to catch the hippo or the seemingly drowsy crocodile
waiting with subtle cunning for prey at which to strike at with lightning
swiftness.
Ever heard of the great march of the wildebeest. it is estimated that
more than half a million wildebeest enter the Mara and are joined by another
100,000 from the east of Mara, trekking to the Kenyan border.
There is nowhere on earth to compare this wildlife marvel. Driving in
the midst of this herds is an unimaginable experience.
The next two days will be spent game viewing and sight seeing in this
natural wonderland.
DAY 4 AND 5
We will leave the Mara and drive to Lake Nakuru National park.
Lake Nakuru , quite often referred to as the “pink lake” is
world famous as the location of the greatest bird spectacle on earth –
myriad of fuschia pink flamingos whose numbers are legion often more than
a million maybe two.
The lake is also rich in other bird life the most popular being the two
fish eating birds, pelicans and cormorants. There are over 400 resident
species on the lake.
We shall spend the night in one of the lodges located near the park. The
next day
will start with a morning game drive followed by an optional nature walk
in the afternoon.
We will then leave the park and drive to the Amboseli National Park where
we will spend the night
DAY 6 AND 7
We shall start the day by game viewing around this Park. It lies at the
foot of the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. The snow
capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro rising above a saucer of clouds dominates
every aspect of the Amboseli.
The snows of the Mt. Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline form a majestic
backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular display of wildlife-lion,
elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plain's game creating
Kenya's most sought after photographer's paradise.
The park is also the home of maasai, those tall proud nomads who have
learned to live in complete harmony with the wildlife that surrounds them.
The next day will also be spent game viewing around the Amboseli
DAY 8 and 9
We shall leave the Amboseli National Park and drive to the Tsavo National
Park.
The combined area of Tsavo East and West makes it one of the World's largest
game sanctuaries, even larger than the Wales in Great Britain. We shall
arrive in Tsavo West in time for an evening game drive.
Chief amongst the marvels of this park is the Mzima Springs which forms
a haven for rich wildlife pageant with the elephant soaking half immersed
in the waters, the hippos apparently weightless, tiptoeing across the
bottom, crocodiles basking at the bank or swirling through the water,
gazelles, zebra and giraffe wandering around the banks through the thick
acacias and raffia palms together with hundreds of chattering monkeys
and birds.
Apart from the elephant population that also graces the park, there are
many lions, some undoubtedly the descendants of the famous man eaters
of Tsavo.
Dinner and overnight.
We shall spend the next day game viewing in Tsavo West and then leave
for Tsavo East.
One of the main attractions of Tsavo East is the Yatta Plateau, one of
the world’s longest lava flows.
An additional attraction is the Athi river flanked by the stately doum
palms, which later forms the Lugard Falls, a long stretch of rippling
white water cataracts and a favorite spot for sunbathing crocodiles
DAY 10
We shall spend the morning experiencing some more of the Tsavo marvels
and then leave for Nairobi where you will be dropped of at your respective
hotels. |
