9-Day Safari (Including Masai Mara) & Zanzibar Extension

DAY 1:NAIROBI TO LAKE AMBOSELI  NATIONAL PARK
After pickup from the airport, you’ll have an early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park. Check in at your accommodation for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Kenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms.
DAY 2:AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
You will rise up early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before the clouds build up over the summit with packed lunch provided. An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast. The visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari.
DAY 3:AMBOSELI TO LAKE NAIVASHA
You’ll have an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha. It is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rif Valley lakes. At 1910 m (6200 ft), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptian once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, herons hide in it while searching for food.
Lake Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favourite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgeling wine industry.
DAY 4:LAKE NAIVASHA TO MASAI MARA
You’ll depart early in the morning to Masai Mara National Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Mara holds on as one of the few places on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators.
DAY 5: MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it’s possible to see the Big Five during a morning 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.
DAY 7 :MASAI MARA TO ZANZIBAR
You’ll have a morning game drive in Masai Mara and depart late in the morning for Zanzibar. You’ll spend three days relaxing and have a memorable and fun vacation with amazing and beautiful landscapes. Lunch will be en-route and in the afternoon catch a flight from Nairobi to Zanzibar.
DAY 7-8 :ZANZIBAR
You can take some rest and enjoy this paradise made of beautiful beaches of white sands and turquoise water of the Indian Ocean. There is a possibility of extra activities such as a day tour in Stone Town (includes Old Town guided tour, Spice Tour and Prison Island – lunch not included). You can also have a half-day tour (includes Old Town guided tour or Spice Tour or Prison Island). Another suggestion is the Jozani Forest tour (lunch not included).
DAY 9 :TRANSFER TO AIRPORT(ZANZIBAR)
You can spend the last hours of your journey relaxing. Afterward, you will have a transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your international flight.
