7 Days Amboseli/Nakuru/Mara Camping Adventures

Day 1: Nairobi
You have a full day in Kenya's vibrant capital, Nairobi, and the day is yours to explore. There are numerous day tours that can be arranged and the staffs at the hotel are more than willing to advice.

Day 2 – 3: Amboseli National Park
Leaving the urban jungle behind we head south towards Amboseli National Park, probably most famous for its photographs of elephant with snow-capped Kilimanjaro in the background - a picture that above all says, 'come to Africa'. Spend two nights camping in the park where there is wonderful game viewing and stunning landscapes. This is one of the best places in Africa to watch elephant, reputedly with the biggest tusks in Africa, cats include lion, leopard and cheetah, and there's an abundance of plains game meandering on the grassy plains.

Day 4: Lake Nakuru
Drive through the Great Rift Valley with its scenic views of escarpments and valleys dotted with lakes, to beautiful Lake Nakuru National Park. Its algae-soaked waters attract thousands of pink flamingos and pelicans, and the park is an important sanctuary for black and white rhino and leopard. There are also several prides of lion, black and white Columbus monkeys, hippo, numerous antelope, buffalo and the rare Rothschild's giraffe. Game viewing is easy and rewarding, and the whole park can be driven around in half a day.

Day 5 – 6: Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara
From Lake Nakuru we arrive at Kenya's most famous national park, the Maasai Mara, exploring what is most people's picture of 'quintessential Africa'. Most of 'Out of Africa' was filmed here, so you may already know what it looks like - rolling savannah, Acacia trees and large stocks of wildlife waiting to be photographed or just stared at in awe.

Day 7: Nairobi
After many memorable game viewing experiences, head from the Mara back to Nairobi where the tour ends.
