    Tour Plan

    Day 1 Into the Rift Valley – Rhinos of Lake Nakuru

    Upon landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, meet your expert guide, who will brief you on the incredible journey ahead. Set off for Lake Nakuru National Park, a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley with breathtaking escarpment views. Along the way, pass rural villages, rolling farmlands, and acacia-dotted landscapes as the anticipation for your first game drive builds. Arrive at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge, where a warm welcome and a delicious lunch await. Settle into your luxury accommodations, unwind with a quick massage at the spa after the long flight and drive, or take a dip in the pool and cool down before heading out for your afternoon adventure. Venture into the park, where the shores of Lake Nakuru shimmer in modest spots of pink as small groups of flamingos gather in the shallows. Watch white and black rhinos grazing on the open plains while herds of buffalos wade into the water to cool off. Spot troops of playful baboons along the roadsides and keep an eye out for the elusive leopard, often seen lounging in the fever trees. Return to the lodge for a gourmet dinner under the African night sky. Relax with a sundowner by the firepit, listening to the distant calls of nocturnal wildlife before retiring to your room for a restful sleep.

    Day 2 From Lake Nakuru to the Masai Mara – Entering Big Cat Country

    Wake up to the calls of African fish eagles and enjoy a hearty breakfast before departing for the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The drive takes you past traditional Maasai villages, golden savannahs, and rolling hills, offering glimpses of zebras and antelopes along the way. Arrive at Ashnil Mara Camp, nestled along the banks of the Mara River. Enjoy a delicious lunch with sweeping views of the open plains, followed by some relaxation time—dip into the pool, explore the camp's serene surroundings, or wind down in your luxurious tent. As the sun begins to soften, embark on your first Masai Mara game drive, where the drama of the wild unfolds. Witness a coalition of cheetahs stalking gazelles, elephants dust-bathing by the river, and a pride of lions lazing under an acacia tree while wary hyenas lurk nearby. If luck is on your side, you may even spot a leopard descending from its perch as the golden light bathes the savannah. Back at camp, indulge in a lavish dinner under the stars before gathering around the fire pit to swap stories of the day's adventures. Fall asleep to the distant roars of lions echoing through the night.

    Day 3 A Full Day in the Wild – Masai Mara's Greatest Spectacles

    Wake up to another breathtaking morning in the Masai Mara and choose how you'd like to experience the day. Opt for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the bush, or split your adventure into two separate game drives—one in the morning and another in the afternoon, returning to camp for a midday break. Whichever option you choose, your day is guaranteed to be filled with sensational wildlife encounters, such as a tower of giraffes elegantly browsing treetops, a pack of vultures circling and harassing a lone cheetah trying to have his meal in peace, and sneaky crocodiles lurking the shallow waters to pounce on unsuspecting impalas trying to quench their first. Furthermore, for those seeking unique experiences, you can choose to go on an optional morning hot air balloon safari and an afternoon Masai Village visit. Drift above the golden savannah at sunrise, watching wildebeest stampede below, elephants marching through the mist, and hippos surfacing in the Mara River. And immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of the Maasai people—watch their iconic jumping dance, learn about their centuries-old survival techniques, and hear stories of their deep connection to the land and its wildlife. These optional activities come at an additional cost. As the sun sets, return to camp for a lavish dinner beneath the stars. Enjoy a nightcap by the firepit with a luscious drink, listening to the distant calls of lions as the wilderness settles into the night.

    Day 4 Crossing into Tanzania – Welcome to the Serengeti

    After breakfast, bid farewell to the Masai Mara and journey south toward the Isebania Border, crossing into Tanzania. The landscape gradually shifts, offering a mix of open plains and dense riverine forests. Complete the immigration process and enjoy your conveniently pre-prepared packed picnic lunch before continuing your adventure into Serengeti National Park, one of Africa's most legendary safari destinations. Welcome to the Land of Endless Plains! As you enter the park, witness vast herds of wildebeest and zebras stretching as far as the eye can see, a lioness teaching her cubs to stalk prey, and a majestic Long-Crested Eagle scanning the horizon from atop a baobab tree. Your journey to camp also serves as a game drive, making sure that no moment of your safari is wasted. Arrive at Sametu Tented Camp as daylight fades, and warm hospitality at an incredible wilderness setting awaits. Enjoy a delicious dinner before stepping outside to marvel at the astonishing sight of the endless Serengeti night sky.

    Day 5 A Full Day in the Serengeti – The Great Migration & Predator Territory

    Wake up to the golden glow of the Serengeti and set off for an early morning game drive when the predators are most active. Spot a pack of wild dogs skillfully coordinating a hunt while a pride of lions watches from a rocky outcrop, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Return to Sametu Tented Camp for a well-deserved lunch with uninterrupted views of the Serengeti's vast wilderness. Spend the hottest part of the day resting in the cool shade of your private veranda, indulging in a refreshing swim, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the African bush. In the late afternoon, embark on another exhilarating safari. Drive alongside the Great Migration. The sight of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thundering across the plains is nothing short of breathtaking. And with such a large amount of prey, you can be sure that predators won't be too far behind. Keep your cameras ready to capture the next hunt! As night falls, return to camp for an unforgettable sundowner dinner. Follow it up with a laze at the sophisticated tented lounge bar with your favourite cocktail while listening to the roars and grunts of the nocturnal wildlife of the Serengeti.

    Day 6 Serengeti to Ngorongoro – Descending Into the Lost World

    Enjoy one last game breakfast in the Serengeti before departing for your next destination, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO-listed natural wonder, and you're about to find out why. En route to the crater, stop for a scenic picnic lunch surrounded by the vast landscapes of the highlands. As you approach, the towering walls of volcanic rock create a dramatic entrance into this prehistoric-looking paradise, including the legendary Olduvai Gorge, where some of the oldest human remains and stone tools were discovered. Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a self-contained wildlife haven. Here, a large black rhino grazes undisturbed while hyenas skirmish over a fresh carcass. Observe herds of buffalo wading through the wetlands and flocks of flamingos painting the lake pink. This is one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a single afternoon, along with over 400 bird species, making it a true birdwatcher's paradise. As the sun begins to set, ascend from the crater and drive to your cosy lodge at Karatu Town. Settle in for a relaxing evening, savouring a delicious dinner while enjoying the cool highland air. Unwind in the elegant lounge before retreating to your snug safari tent, where the sounds of the wild lull you into a peaceful night's sleep.

You'll arrive at the park in the afternoon, giving you the perfect opportunity for a game drive before checking in at camp—ensuring you make the most of your time without losing daylight.

Unwind with a drink by the fire, listening to the sounds of the wild before heading to bed.

    Day 8 A Full Day in Amboseli – Big Skies, Big Herds

    Wake up to another breathtaking morning in Amboseli National Park and choose how you'd like to experience the day. Opt for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the wild, or split your adventure into two separate game drives with a midday break back at camp. Whichever option you choose, thrilling encounters await!

Also, you can go on another optional afternoon Maasai village visit today to experience the vibrant traditions of the Maasai people one last time—rewatch their iconic jumping dance, learn some more about their traditions, and hear new stories of their deep connection to the land and its wildlife. As the sun sets, return to camp for a lavish farewell dinner beneath the stars. After eight days of thrilling expeditions across Kenya and Tanzania, indulge in a soothing spa treatment or a revitalizing massage to relax your body and mind.
