What鈥檚 Cool About These Parks?
You鈥檒l know you鈥檙e in Amboseli Park when you see the imposing snow-capped peak of nearby Mt. Kilimanjaro. But you鈥檒l also know because of the great trains of elephant families parading before you 鈥 so many here we guarantee sightings!
Samburu Reserve is not overly touristed but that means more room for you and its generous populations of lions and elephants. But safari-goers also make a special trip here to see the 鈥淪amburu Five鈥- these are the unique unusuals like the gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Grevys zebra, Somali ostrich, and beisa oryx.
At Ol Pejeta Conservancy, you鈥檒l enjoy views of Mt. Kenya and discover lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Amazingly, this is the only place in Kenya where you can enjoy seeing playful chimpanzees at the Sweetwaters Sanctuary.
Ever been on a sailing safari? Or for that matter, a bicycle safari? At Lake Naivasha, we鈥檒l sail past grazing antelope and buffalo on the shore. An optional visit to nearby Hell鈥檚 Gate Park will seat us on bicycles, pedaling by zebra, giraffe, and antelope.
Which is more impressive 鈥 legendary Masai Mara with its uncountable lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wildebeests? Or world-famous Serengeti with its uncountable lions, leopards, and wildebeests? You鈥檒l visit both. You decide!

We鈥檒l next descend into a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the form of a spectacular lush universe of wildlife, the Ngorongoro Crater. This volcanic caldera is dense with lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino, zebra, hippos, and even pink flamingoes in a setting that seems like an adventure movie.
As we mentioned, the next park is your choice. Tarangire Park has its own mini-wildlife migration, 鈥渕ini鈥 here means some 250,000 animals! Lovely little Lake Manyara Park is a busy world of colorful birdlife 鈥 a vast sea of pink flamingoes, and a beautiful acacia forest filled with monkeys, baboons, and lions鈥 resting up in the trees!
For two action-filled weeks, we鈥檒l safari to the most brilliant parks of Kenya and Tanzania surrounded by lions, giraffes, flamingoes, and much more. Can you see yourself on this ultimate adventure?

7:30 am 鈥 are you ready for adventure? Let鈥檚 begin two full weeks of non-stop safari! Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will swing by in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep, your main viewing platform for the next fourteen days.
We鈥檒l take off for Amboseli National Park, heading down the Nairobi 鈥 Mombasa Highway. We鈥檒l pass local homesteads and plantations. As we enter Maasai country, look for the local herders in their bright plaid wraps, tending their flocks.
The snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro is your cue that the park is near.
Your guide will get you settled at the first of your many accommodations 鈥 your safari lodge or tented camp. We鈥檒l have lunch and set out on our first game drive.
If you haven鈥檛 already spotted the elephants, you should soon, marching alone and in families, they are a beautiful sight.
While we鈥檙e at Amboseli, toward the evenings and perhaps in the early mornings, look for the clouds covering Kilimanjaro鈥檚 peak to lift for one of Africa鈥檚 most iconic images.
It鈥檚 been a busy first day and you can relax and swap stories over dinner at your Amboseli safari lodge or tented camp.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Welcome to your first morning on safari! This is a peaceful quiet time when everyone 鈥 human and animal steps into the soft morning light of the new day.
One of the special aspects of our two-week safari is that our visits to several of the parks will span over three days, including one full day of game drives. This is the first of these special discovery days.
After breakfast, we鈥檒l jump into the 4 x 4 and start our exploring around the park looking for buffalo, rhino, zebra, monkeys, baboons, and of course, lions and cheetahs.
Up on Observation Hill, we鈥檒l leave our 4 x 4 to stretch and take in the park鈥檚 many habitats. Over in the marshes we鈥檙e certain to spot some of the busy birdlife such as heron, falcon, eagle, egret, pelican, crake, and Egyptian goose.
We鈥檒l enjoy lunch and then set out for more drives as you get to better know the park and also become more acquainted with your guide 鈥 your host, friend, and teacher for the next two weeks.
In the late afternoon, check out Kilimanjaro for more picture-taking opportunities
Then it鈥檚 back to our accommodation for a relaxing dinner and second safari evening.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Let鈥檚 take another drive through the park and then head to our second destination, Aberdare Park.
Say 鈥榮afari鈥 and you think of warm golden savannahs but Aberdare puts a different spin on the typical African adventure. This is an alpine land of cool lush forests and mountain lakes.
The wildlife is different too 鈥 we鈥檒l be exploring for buffalo, giant antelope, forest hog, hyenas, warthogs, and monkeys. You may even spot this wildlife from your balcony at your special 鈥渢ree hotel鈥.
While at Aberdare, you can choose to stay at the Treetops Lodge or The Ark.
Note: Only overnight bags are allowed at your Tree hotel. We will secure your other luggage.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Come morning, we鈥檒l descend from our tree hotel and depart this cool mountain climate for the sunlit broad plains of Samburu National Reserve.
You鈥檒l find the big cats here and plenty of elephants but not a lot of tourists.
We may also visit some neighboring reserves if you wish, the Shaba and Buffalo Springs offer forests and woodlands for a nice contrast to Samburu.
We will spend the evening at our Samburu lodge or tented camp.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
As with Amboseli Park, we are lucky to have a full day of game drives today. It鈥檚 our fifth day on safari 鈥 just about the time other safaris are ending鈥 but we鈥檙e just getting started!
Our game drives will take us to the Ewaso Ngiro River, a lifeline cutting through the park and a perfect place to spot the park鈥檚 thirsty lions and elephants.
We鈥檒l also be looking for Samburu鈥檚 unique species like the beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, and Grevy鈥檚 zebra.
As mentioned earlier, this can also be an opportunity for a cultural moment with the nearby Samburu People. If you wish, we can visit their village and learn about their unique lifestyle.
This will be our second evening at our Samburu accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We鈥檒l take one more spin around the plains of Samburu before heading to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the cooler Laikipia region.
Ol Pejeta has several claims to fame: it鈥檚 the closest reserve to Nairobi where one can spot all of Africa鈥檚 鈥淏ig Five鈥 鈥 lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant.
Plus, it offers chances to see the rare African wild dog, not seen at most parks.
Perhaps even more special, this is the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees in a natural setting.
Over dinner, we will relax and share stories at our Ol Pejeta accommodation.
Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
From Ol Pejeta we will travel to the cool shores of Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake that hosts hippos, plus zebra, giraffe, and antelope.
If you want, we can also visit neighboring Hell鈥檚 Gate Park, and even go on a bicycling safari. Just imagine pedaling your way past buffalo, antelope, and giraffes as they graze. A most unique safari moment.
We鈥檒l enjoy dinner at our Lake Naivasha safari lodge or tented camp.
Bird standing on the back of a hippo in Lake Naivasha safari park
A baby antelope in Crescent Island in Lake Naivasha
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
How many times have you begun your day with a sailing safari?
This is that day! We鈥檒l take an easy water exploration of the lake, sailing past the hippos and viewing the grazing buffalo and antelope on the nearby shore.
We鈥檝e added a bonus to your tour 鈥 we鈥檒l take a quick trip to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary for more close-up views of such wildlife as wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, and giraffe.
And now we鈥檙e off to the crown of Kenya鈥檚 parks, the great Masai Mara National Reserve, home to the big cats, elephants, and the Great Migration of wildebeests.
We should arrive at the park in time for an afternoon game drive over the reserve鈥檚 signature green rolling hills with their iconic acacia trees.
You won鈥檛 have to look far or long to begin spotting the wildlife 鈥 these active fields and savannahs are part of the richest ecosystem in Africa.
We will spend the first of two nights at our Masai Mara lodge or tented camp.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Just as at Amboseli and Samburu, we will enjoy a day of unlimited game drives throughout the vast reaches of this beautiful park. The Mara is known for its large numbers of big cats 鈥 lions, cheetahs, and leopards, plus jackals, hyenas, and more.
Providing sustenance for these awesome predators are the uncountable grazers that fill the park鈥檚 fields and forests. Those numbers rise significantly during the season of the Great Migration from July 鈥 October.
We will enjoy a picnic lunch down at the Mara River, site of the migration鈥檚 wildlife crossing into the park. Here the thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelle will try to evade the waiting crocodiles and make it to the opposite shore. An unbelievable spectacle.
While at the Mara you can add to your safari with our optional activities. Take a cultural moment to visit a local Maasai village and meet the original people of this land as you learn about their pastoral lifestyle.
You鈥檝e taken a sailing safari, a bicycle safari鈥 how about a hot air balloon safari. This optional sunrise activity will have you gliding over the park as the morning light brings the reserve to life. This is a moment you鈥檒l never forget.
We will spend our second evening relaxing at our Mara accommodation.
6 Hour Drive
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
It鈥檚 our third day in the Masai Mara and we might want to visit a favorite spot before we head to the border, crossing over to Tanzania and our next big destination 鈥 Serengeti National Park.
This world-famous reserve sits directly across from the Masai Mara. It is from the Serengeti where those unending hordes of wildebeests that we saw came.
The park is immense, even larger than the Masai Mara and the numbers of wildlife here are accordingly immense 鈥 1,000 leopards, over 4,000 lions.
We鈥檒l take the first game drive of our three-day safari in the great park.
Come late afternoon, we鈥檒l head to our Serengeti lodge or tented camp and unwind.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Just like at the Masai Mara, the day is yours to explore as much as you please. The Serengeti is alive with its own world of wildlife 鈥 besides the big cats, we鈥檒l be tracking for elephant, rhino, giraffe, eland, gazelle, klipspringer, warthog, monkey, impala, honey badger, African wild dog, hippos, and more.
During the year, you鈥檒l witness different aspects of the wildebeest migration in the park. From June through October, you鈥檒l spot the immense hordes of grazers herding off to the Masai Mara, searching for taller grasses and water.
December to March is the calving season when you鈥檒l witness incredible numbers of wildebeest, zebra, and others giving birth in the Serengeti region of Ndutu.
The wildlife, both predators and grazers are always present in massive displays in this amazing park.
We鈥檒l spend our second evening at our Serengeti accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We鈥檒l take our last drive through the grand Serengeti and now turn toward another signature African destination, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and its world-famous crater.
But first, en route, we鈥檒l make a stop at an equally significant piece of African history, the anthropological treasures at Olduvai Gorge. For decades, the gorge has yielded amazing ancient fossilized pieces of humankind鈥檚 history. In these sediment beds were found bones, tools, and other artifacts of our ancestors鈥 early development going back millions of years.
From that famous landmark, we鈥檒l next land at the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.
Hang tight as our 4 x 4 Jeep descends the steep crater walls into a colorful realm holding every manner of wildlife 鈥 a dense self-contained region of lions, buffalo, elephant, baboon, hippos鈥 even pink flamingoes.
We鈥檒l spend an active day down here in this dense world, thick with animals and birds.
Toward late afternoon we鈥檒l go back up the steep caldera walls in time to enjoy another special moment, a spectacular Ngorongoro sunset at the crater鈥檚 rim.
We鈥檒l enjoy dinner and talk tales of our busy day at our Ngorongoro accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
You鈥檙e experienced safari goers now and can easily rise before the sun. If you do, you鈥檒l be rewarded with an amazing sunrise at the crater鈥檚 rim to equal last night鈥檚 sunset.
And now you have a choice as to your next destination 鈥 Tarangire or Lake Manyara Park.
Tarangire National Park
Off the beaten trail, Tarangire Park is special as it is home to its own smaller migration of lions, leopards, elephants, warthogs, ostriches, and many more species, numbering around 250,000 animals.
Of note in this unique park are its huge startling baobab trees, with their heavy trunks and spindly branches reaching toward the heavens. There is nothing quite like them.
Lake Manyara National Park
Also, not a heavily touristed park, Lake Manyara, is a colorful gem with its pretty blue lake creating a contrasting backdrop for its fluttering clouds of bright pink flamingoes on the shore. You鈥檒l also find heron, ibis, spoonbill, egrets, and many other bird species.
Manyara鈥檚 delightful acacia woods are filled with monkeys, baboons, and a sight you won鈥檛 find elsewhere 鈥 tree-climbing lions!
We will spend our last safari evening at either our Tarangire or Lake Manyara accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Can you believe we鈥檝e been on safari for two whole weeks? How many can say they鈥檝e seen and experienced all that you have 鈥 an incredible array of ecosystems 鈥 forests, savannahs, deserts, mountain lakes, and volcanic craters?
And the wildlife 鈥 dozens of species by the thousands. Not to mention our special moments meeting with the indigenous peoples of these lands.
