AASC 5: 6 Days Lakes/ Mara

Day 1, Lake Baringo
From Nairobi we pause to view the spectacular Rift Valley from the top of an escarpment, dotted with its string of lakes, that is a great introduction to the natural beauty of the region. Camp next to freshwater Lake Baringo where there is the option of taking a boat trip to search for hippo and crocodile and view the abundant birdlife around the lake shore.

Day 2, Lake Bogoria
From Baringo it's a short drive to Lake Bogoria, a shallow soda lake set amidst beautiful scenery. Like the other Kenyan soda lakes, it has no outlet and the intense evaporation leads to high levels of salt and minerals, which flamingos love and from a distance the surface of the water appears bright pink. Next to the lake are steaming hot springs and geysers, but don't be tempted to put your hands into the water if you are at all fond of your skin! Continue south to Lake Nakuru National Park, another shallow soda lake famous for its birdlife, and the park is also home to lion, many rhino and if you're very lucky you may spot a leopard in an Acacia tree. Overnight at a campsite

Day 3 Maasai Mara:
We head south to Narok, Lunch enroute then proceed to Maasai Mara –game is viewed as we proceed to the campsite for dinner and overnight.

Day 4 and 5, Masai Mara
From our campsite, we explore the mighty Masai Mara on game drives and there is plenty of opportunity to search for the Big 5. You'll soon see why the Mara has such an excellent reputation for diverse scenery and abundant wildlife. The park has the largest population of well-fed lion in Kenya, and some of the biggest crocs in Africa are found in the Mara River - all thanks to the constant supply of ready-made meals in the way of hundreds of thousands of grazing animals.

AMBOSELI/NAKURU/MARA CAMPING ADVENTURES - 7 DAYS - AASC7    

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 staff at the hotel are more than willing to advise.

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 colobus 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, Masai Mara
From Lake Nakuru we arrive at Kenya's most famous national park, the Masai 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.

7 DAYS SAMBURU/LAKES/MARA CAMPING SAFARI - AASC 8

Day 1, Samburu Game Reserve
From Nairobi, pass the majestic Mt. Kenya en route to the open savannah of Samburu Game Reserve. We camp in the narrow stretch of palms and woodland by the Ewaso Nyiro River which provides water for the animals and some relief from the equatorial sun.

Day 2, Samburu Game Reserve
Enjoy a full day of game viewing along the river banks and surrounding scrublands with time out from the midday sun for a refreshing swim at Buffalo Springs. This is a particularly good place to spot elephant and antelope.

Day 3, Lake Baringo, Great Rift Valley
Leaving Samburu, cross the Lerochi Plateau and descend to the floor of the Great Rift Valley, arriving at Lake Baringo by early afternoon. This fresh water lake supports an abundance of birdlife alongside hippos and crocodiles that languish on the lake shore.

Day 4, Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru
At the nearby Lake Bogoria visit an area of bubbling hot springs and steaming geysers, and admire the pink swathes of flamingos on the soda lake. Then at Lake Nakuru National Park enjoy an afternoon game drive, where we literally trip over the many rhino in the park, and if lucky might see a pride of lion languishing in the shade, or leopard in the Acacia trees.

Day 5 - 6, Masai Mara
Travel south through the beautiful savannahs and plains of the Rift Valley and reach our base camp site on the Talek River, where we enjoy another evening out bush under the far-reaching African sky. Spend the next day on game drives exploring the Masai Mara. The open grasslands are home to incredibly rich and varied wildlife and the awesome, annual migration of millions of wildebeest and antelope is the highlight of any visit to Africa from July to September.

Day 7, Masai Mara, Nairobi
Heading north to Narok, we stop to browse in the bustling, vibrant Masai markets to buy curios and handicrafts before continuing to Nairobi where our safari ends.
