Day 2: Amboseli National Park

Early morning game drive before breakfast. There are good chances to see Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day early in the morning. Arid looking as Amboseli has historically supported both game and the Masai that kept their herds of cattle here. It is thanks to the waters that run off Africa's greatest mountain that the apparently dry Amboseli, Kenya's first game sanctuary is able to support its wildlife. Mount Kilimanjaro broods high over Amboseli, generally cloaked by clouds but appearing in all its snow-shrouded magnificence from time to time. The mountain now provides water for the park, wonderful views and, of course, the most glorious background for animal photography. Lunch at the lodge. In the evening proceed on a game watching expedition till dusk. On a clear day the Sun set in the Amboseli is simply out of this world. You have an option to visit the Masai Village (extra cost) to see their way of living and learn more on their culture.

DAY 1: NAIROBI – AMBOSELI

Arrive JKIA, you will be met by our representative and briefed on the safari. Proceed to Amboseli National Park. The scenery on this drive is predominantly of open wide spaces characterized by a sparse settlement system mainly along the road. You would be interested to know that this was the first National Park established in Kenya. The park is strategically situated at the North West foot of Mount Kilimanjaro which is not only the highest peak in Africa but the second highest in the world.  On a clear morning you will easily see the snow cup that crowns its peak from the comfort of your hotel room or while out on a game drive.  Most of this park consists of a dry, ancient lakebed and fragile grasslands with patches of acacia woodland. It is in this park more than anywhere else perhaps in the continent that you are bound to see large herds of Elephants. You arrive at the camp/lodge in time for lunch.

The early afternoon is spent at leisure within the lodge premises and in the evening you

Depart for a game drive till dusk. Dinner and overnight at Kibo Safari Camp www.kibosafaricamp.com

Day 2: Amboseli-Nakuru

Early morning game drive. Return to the lodge/camp for breakfast. Depart for Lake  Nakuru National Park with packed lunch. The  park is home to one of Kenya’s most famous picture; thousands of pink flamingos swathed together on the lake shores. The flamingos frequent the shores to feed on the Algae that abound there. The numbers have however dwindled in recent years and migrated to Lake Bogoria.

That notwithstanding the park boasts of a prolific bird life with over 450 bird species having been recorded. In addition, to the African wild dog, buffalos, zebras, elands, lions among other animals, the park is a sanctuary for the white Rhino. It’s thus common to find rhinos lazing in the shadow of the acacia trees on a hot sunny afternoon.

But perhaps most interesting, it is perhaps in this park more than any other in the country that visitors increase their chances of spotting the elusive leopard. In the afternoon depart for a game drive till dusk. Dinner and overnight at Nakuru Sopa Lodge www.sopalodges.com
