**Full Tour Itinerary**

**DAY 1: Nairobi – Amboseli**

Transfer to Amboseli National Park, famous for its big game – elephants, lions and
cheetahs are the main attractions – and for its great scenery beauty. Amboseli embodies
five main wildlife habitats, plus a generally dry lake-bed – Lake Amboseli. These
are open plains; extensive stands of yellow-barked acacia woodland; rocky, lava 
strewn thorn-bush country; swamps and marshes; and at the western end of the reserve,
above Namanga, the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok rising to over 2,760m (8.300ft) and 
still for the most part zoologically unexplored. Enjoy your afternoon game drive
at Amboseli National Park.

Meals: **Lunch, and Dinner**

**DAY 2: Amboseli – Lake Nakuru**

Early morning pick up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Known all over the
world for its flamingoes, it’s alkaline and is recognized as being one of the natural
wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population
of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingoes, of course, have always
been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingoes in the
residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the 
lakeshore.

The park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists’ delight with more
than 400 species of bird found here.

Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive

**Meals: ****Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner**

**DAY 3: Lake Nakuru – Maasai Mara**

Your lodge is set high on a bush-cloaked hill with long views over the savannah 
and down to the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River, it stands center-stage
to one of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife arenas, with a ringside seat for the ‘
greatest wildlife show on earth’, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

**Meals: ****Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner**

**DAY 4: Maasai Mara**

After breakfast, we have a full day dame drive, with packed lunch provided. The 
reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident
wildlife and its one of the few places where it’s possible to see the big five during
a morning’s game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from 
the hot sun under one’s vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better
view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been 
recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species
of vultures, 8 species of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world’s
heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
