Day 1
Fly from Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Your luxurious Kenya Safari Tour begins in Nairobi with a morning transfer to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara. As your aircraft lifts off, you will enjoy spectacular aerial views of Kenya’s changing landscapes, from the outskirts of the city to the open plains and rolling countryside that stretch toward the Mara.
Upon arrival at Keekorok Airstrip, you will be warmly welcomed by your safari guide and transferred to your lodge with wildlife viewing along the way. Even this short transfer often feels like a game drive, with chances to spot zebras, antelopes, giraffes, or even elephants before you have fully settled into the safari atmosphere.
After checking in at your luxury camp, enjoy a delicious lunch and some time to relax while taking in the beauty of the surrounding savannah. In the late afternoon, set out on your first exciting game drive through the Masai Mara National Reserve. This remarkable reserve is one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations and is home to lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and countless plains animals.
As the sun sets across the golden grasslands, return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay in the heart of the wilderness.
Accommodation: Elewana Sand River Masai Mara
Day 2
Full Day Exploring Masai Mara
Today your Kenya Safari Tour is dedicated to discovering the extraordinary beauty and wildlife of the Masai Mara. The day begins with an early morning game drive when the reserve is at its most active. Predators are often easier to spot at this time, and the cool morning light provides excellent photography conditions across the open plains.
During your safari, you may encounter the famous Big Five along with cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and many bird species. The Masai Mara is also one of the most rewarding places in Africa for witnessing predator-prey interactions and dramatic wildlife moments in their natural setting.
After breakfast or a mid-morning break depending on your safari schedule, continue exploring different sections of the reserve with your experienced guide. Every drive reveals new landscapes and new chances for memorable sightings.
For those seeking an even more extraordinary experience, an optional hot-air balloon safari can be arranged at extra cost. Floating silently above the vast Mara plains at sunrise offers breathtaking views of wildlife and the spectacular scenery below.
In the afternoon, continue with another game drive before returning to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight stay.
Accommodation: Elewana Sand River Masai Mara
Day 3
Fly from Masai Mara to Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, enjoy a relaxed morning in camp before checking out and transferring back to Keekorok Airstrip for your scheduled flight to Amboseli. This scenic journey is one of the highlights of the Kenya Safari Tour, allowing you to appreciate Kenya’s diversity from the air as you travel from the sweeping Mara plains to the elephant country of Amboseli.
Upon landing at Kilimanjaro Airstrip, you will be met by your guide and transferred to your luxury lodge. The setting here is completely different from the Mara, with open plains, acacia woodland, and the majestic silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro dominating the horizon on clear days.
After settling in and enjoying some rest, head out for an evening game drive in Amboseli National Park. This park is famous for its large elephant herds, many of which are seen walking gracefully across the plains with Kilimanjaro in the background. You may also encounter lions, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeests, giraffes, hyenas, and a wide variety of bird species.
As evening falls, return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay in one of Kenya’s most scenic safari settings.
Accommodation: Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli
Day 4
Full Day in Amboseli National Park
This day of your Kenya Safari Tour is devoted to exploring the magnificent landscapes and wildlife of Amboseli National Park. Begin with a morning game drive when the air is cool and wildlife is especially active. The early hours also offer the best possibility of seeing Mount Kilimanjaro clearly before clouds gather around the summit.
Amboseli is one of the best places in Africa to observe elephants at close range. Watching large herds feeding, bathing, and moving across the plains is one of the great highlights of any safari here. The park also supports lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, hyenas, and a rich variety of birdlife found around the swamps and wetlands.
Between drives, return to the lodge to relax and enjoy the luxury surroundings, or simply take in the stunning views across the park. In the afternoon, head out again to explore different parts of Amboseli and continue searching for wildlife while enjoying the park’s extraordinary scenery.
An optional visit to a Maasai village may also be arranged, offering a meaningful opportunity to learn about Maasai traditions, daily life, and their cultural connection to this landscape.
Return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.
Accommodation: Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli
Day 5
Fly Back to Nairobi
On the final morning of your Kenya Safari Tour, enjoy one last game drive in Amboseli before breakfast. This is your final opportunity to experience the quiet beauty of the African wilderness and perhaps capture a few last sightings of elephants or other wildlife beneath the morning light.
After breakfast at the lodge, check out and transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled return flight to Nairobi Wilson Airport. As you fly back, reflect on the unforgettable experiences of the past five days—from the endless plains of the Masai Mara to the majestic elephant herds of Amboseli.
Upon arrival in Nairobi, your safari concludes with lasting memories of spectacular wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and the exceptional comfort of a luxury fly-in adventure.
