Day 01 of 04

Maasai Mara

Day 1: Arrival & first game drive

Fly or drive in from Nairobi. After lunch at the lodge, head straight out for an afternoon game drive across the open plains - this is prime Big Five ground, and your guide will already know where the resident pride has been resting.

Day 02 of 04

Maasai Mara

Day 2: Full day in the Mara

A full day out, with a picnic breakfast in the bush and lunch back at the lodge. Between July and October this is migration ground - river crossings, big cats, and some of the densest wildlife concentrations in East Africa.

Day 03 of 04

Samburu National Reserve

Day 3: Fly north to Samburu

Transfer to Samburu, a drier, wilder landscape built around the Ewaso Nyiro river. Afternoon game drive for species you won't see further south - Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk - alongside the Big Five.

Day 04 of 04

Amboseli National Park

Day 4: Amboseli & Kilimanjaro

Final transfer to Amboseli, famous for its elephant herds and views of Kilimanjaro across the border. Morning game drive before your flight out - the mountain usually clears for an hour or two after sunrise.
