with game viewing enroute to the overnight camp.
Day 2 Maasai
Mara Game Reserve
Full day game viewing with picnic lunch. One of Kenya's premier
reserves, the Maasai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti and world
famous for the spectacular migration of thousands of wildebeest
and zebra during the months of July and October. The Mara is also
rich in resident game with over 95 species recorded. These include

local restaurant we continue to Amboseli National Park, located
on the Kenya/Tanzania border. Gamedrive to one of the public campsites
for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4 Amboseli
National Park
The day is spent game viewing in the Park. Dinner and overnight
at the campsite. Amboseli National Park covers an area of around
400 square kilometres and is bounded to the south by Kilimanjaro,
Africa's highest mountain. Its snow-capped summit dominates the
landscape and provides a superb backdrop for wildlife photographers.
Amboseli's swamps, plains, woodlands and bush country support a
diversity of wildlife unrivalled in East Africa for a park of its
size. Over 80 different mammals may be found in the park, including
the Gerenuk and the Fringe-eared Oryx. The swamps and lakes are
rich in resident and migrant birds with over 400 species recorded.
Day 5 Amboseli
- Tsavo West
We leave after breakfast and travel via Chyulu Hills to Tsavo West
National Park, arriving in time for lunch. The afternoon is spent
game viewing, and if time permits, a visit to Mzima Springs. Dinner
and overnight at a local campsite. The combined area of Tsavo East
and West makes this one of the largest game sanctuaries in the world,
covering approximately 20,000 square kilometres. Tsavo became Kenya's
second national park in 1948 and offers a wide variety of game viewing
opportunities. Apart from a large elephant population, other resident
game includes lion, cheetah, hyena, leopard, hippo, gazelle, giraffe,
crocodiles, and an incredible display of birdlife.
Day 6 Tsavo

of the world's longest lava flows, and Lugard Falls, a long stretch
