What鈥檚 Cool About These Parks?
Starting in Nairobi you鈥檒l pass the Rift Valley arriving at charming Lake Nakuru National Park, with its beautiful acacia forests, waterfalls, and the lovely lake itself. Look for both Black and White rhinos here and possibly lion and leopard.
Then we鈥檙e off to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, home to dense concentrations of big cats, elephants, buffalo, giraffe, and dozens more species. This is the spot where you can see the Great Migration of wildebeests, zebra, and gazelle pour into the park on their annual trek.
Those thousands of herding grazers are coming across the Tanzanian border from Serengeti National Park, our next stop. The immense treeless savannahs here hold more than 3,000 lions. We鈥檒l be tracking for them along with leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephant, eland, impala, and warthog.
We next adventure to one of the most unique spots on the planet, the world鈥檚 largest intact volcanic caldera 鈥 Ngorongoro Crater. Descending into this blue/green world we鈥檒l be tracking the big cats and all of Africa鈥檚 鈥淏ig Five鈥. Then we continue to the unusual Tarangire National Park, the site of bizarre baobab trees, huge termite mounds, and lots of elephants.
Speaking of the great tuskers, we鈥檒l now cross back into Kenya, arriving at Amboseli National Park, known for its guaranteed sightings of great elephant families. You鈥檒l see them marching before the imposing backdrop of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. An amazing finale to your ten-day, six-park, two-country excursion safari!

7:30 am 鈥 Is your safari gear packed and ready to go? Get ready for 10 full days of wildlife action! Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will come by in a private 4 x 4 Land cruiser Jeep.
Hop in and we鈥檙e off through the Great Rift Valley, with views of its dramatic escarpment. We鈥檒l arrive at Lake Nakuru Park in the late morning and take in the lake and its surrounding acacia forests.
The park is a delightful blend of water birds (sometimes flamingoes!) and also rhinos at a special sanctuary here. But also look for lions, zebra, giraffe, warthog, and many other species.
Come evening, we鈥檒l retire to our safari lodge or tented camp to relax, enjoy dinner and reflect on our journey鈥檚 first day.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We鈥檙e on safari time so let鈥檚 be up early for a game drive around the park to watch the animals and the birdlife emerge into the soft light of the new day.
We鈥檒l breakfast and proceed to the Masai Mara, making rest and scenic stops along our way.
Arriving at the great Mara, you can check in at your new accommodation to freshen up鈥 or just head out on your first of many game drives on the park鈥檚 pretty rolling hills.
Adorning the landscape, you can鈥檛 miss Africa鈥檚 special acacia trees, adding still more texture to this amazing park. You won鈥檛 have to look far or long before spotting some of the park鈥檚 voluminous wildlife. Over 95 species of mammals populate these Mara lands.
Toward late afternoon, you might be treated to one of the park鈥檚 glorious sunsets and you鈥檒l know you have arrived at a very special place. We鈥檒l head back to our Mara accommodation for a relaxing evening.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We鈥檒l head out early on this day of unlimited game drives. The Masai Mara is known for its many prides of lions, plus cheetah, buffalo, antelope, hyena and so much more.
To maximize our time on the savannah we鈥檒l take along a picnic lunch and perhaps enjoy it down at the Mara River, the site of the crossing of wildebeests and zebra, flowing in from neighboring Serengeti. This is a dramatic spot where predators meet grazers, so we鈥檒l look for crocodiles down in the river as well as all sorts of big cats.
Adding new dimensions to your safari, take advantage of two optional activities: A visit to a nearby Maasai village will broaden your cultural horizons as you meet these indigenous people and learn about their lifestyle.
For a special one-of-a-kind treat, sign up for the optional hot air balloon safari over the park. You鈥檒l float up at dawn as the park comes alive with all its wonders lighting up beneath you in the new day. An unforgettable safari moment!
We鈥檒l spend the evening at our Mara accommodation, enjoying a delicious meal while swapping stories of the day.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today our safari goes international, crossing the border into Tanzania at the town of Isebania.
Part of the same ecosystem as the Masai Mara, the Serengeti features a different look, its vast plains being treeless. But it offers as rich an array of wildlife, perhaps even more lions.
We鈥檒l arrive in time for an afternoon game drive to better understand the look, feel, and 鈥渧ibe鈥 of the Serengeti. This is where the millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, calve before heading on to the Masai Mara.
We鈥檒l head to our Serengeti lodge or tented camp for relaxation and dinner.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This will be a great day of exploration as we travel over the immense tract of the Serengeti, spotting for lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, eland, klipspringer, gazelle, warthog, and even hippo!
As always, you set the pace of your safari 鈥 opt for morning, afternoon, or full-day game viewing. The choice is yours.
Depending on the season (January/February), you may see great numbers of wildebeests and zebras calving. In the following months, the young will be raised in time for the annual Great Migration, across to the Masai Mara, from July to October.
This evening, we鈥檒l relax and swap stories at our Serengeti accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
An exciting day awaits! We鈥檒l be up early to enjoy another game drive through the Serengeti, as we exit the reserve and head to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world.
Hold on, as our 4 x 4 takes us down the steep crater walls, into this magical expanse of green landscapes holding every sort of wildlife, from lions to pink flamingoes.
We鈥檒l enjoy lunch, perhaps watching hippos at one of the park鈥檚 lakes as we keep an eye out for rhino, buffalo, elephant, and of course, the big cats.
Toward late afternoon, we鈥檒l head back up to the edge of the caldera in time to catch one of Africa鈥檚 signature attractions 鈥 a magnificent sunset lighting up the crater鈥檚 rim.
And then we鈥檙e off to our Ngorongoro safari lodge or tented camp to settle in for dinner and rest.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Remember last night鈥檚 spectacular sunset? Let鈥檚 get up in time to catch an equally awesome sunrise at the crater鈥檚 rim!
And now we鈥檙e off to Tarangire National Park, a small but quite beautiful reserve. We鈥檒l take an afternoon game drive looking for the park鈥檚 signature massive elephant herds. Tarangire is also known for its wildlife migration where over 250,000 animals enter the park.
We鈥檒l spend the evening at our Tarangire accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
As always on safari, we鈥檒l be up with the birds to enjoy another game drive through the park.
After breakfast, we鈥檒l head out to our final park, Amboseli, crossing back into Kenya at the border town of Namanga.
Amboseli is Kenya鈥檚 second most popular park, framed by the snow-capped majesty of Mt. Kilimanjaro and home to unlimited herds of great elephants. Their numbers are so constant you are guaranteed to see them parading to and fro.
Come late afternoon, the typical cloud covering obscuring Kilimanjaro鈥檚 summit may dissipate, revealing the mountain鈥檚 breathtaking peak.
We will spend our 8th Safari evening at our Amboseli lodge or tented camp.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The park is especially attractive in the early morning so let鈥檚 take advantage of the day and head out for our first game drive.
Of course, we鈥檒l be looking for elephants but the park may also present us with sightings of lions, cheetah, buffalo, wildebeest, gazelle, monkeys, and many rare birds.
We鈥檒l stop at Observation Hill, where we can take in the many varieties of landscapes and wildlife in all directions.
If we鈥檙e lucky we鈥檒l catch another glimpse of Kilimajaro鈥檚 snowy peak toward the evening.
And here on our last safari night we鈥檒l relax and dine at our Amboseli accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
By now as an experienced safari-goer, you know the drill: We鈥檒l be up early for a pre-breakfast game drive looking for elephants, lions, gazelle, antelope, and more.
We鈥檒l stock up on breakfast before taking our final game drive through the park and head off to Nairobi.
En route, we鈥檒l make stops for lunch and take in the scenic vistas.
Ten days 鈥 six parks鈥 and how much wildlife and landscapes have we seen? Enough for many memories and lots of stories to be told and retold.
