7-Day Amboseli Park, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara Park

You will have another day in this beautiful park. After your breakfast. Have your packed lunch, you will go for a full-day game drive in Amboseli. Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, the Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The name "Amboseli" comes from a Maasai word meaning "salty dust". It is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. Nature lovers can explore five different habitats here ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulphur springs, the savannah, and woodlands.

After breakfast, exploring Nakuru, continue to the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s most iconic safari destination. The Mara is home to the Big Five and is celebrated for the Great Wildebeest Migration. Its rolling savannahs, abundant predators, and rich Maasai culture make it a must-visit safari stop. An afternoon game drive in the Maasai Mara offers the best chance to spot wildlife when animals become more active. Witness prides of lions resting in the grasslands, cheetahs scanning the plains, elephants marching in herds, and giraffes silhouetted against the golden sunset. The magic of the Mara is at its peak during this golden hour.

You will be driven through the viewpoint of the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest migration and is home to the Big Five: Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino. Lunch at the Lodge/camp and relax before departing for the afternoon game drive. The Mara Game Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses of the world. The wild animals found in the Parks are Giraffe, Buffalo, Eland, and thousands of plain games including Impala, Zebra, and both Thomson’s and grant's Gazelles.

Today there will be a possibility to take a hot air balloon ride for an extra cost. "Take to the skies for the ultimate Maasai Mara wildlife adventure, soaring in a hot air balloon over herds of game to the inner reaches of the Mara. You'll ascend in the early morning when winds are calmest. Watch as the professional crew fills the balloon with hot air. Slowly the big, colorful bag begins to bulge and take shape. Now board the traditional wicker gondola basket while the expert pilot makes final adjustments. As the pink and red fireball of the sun rises in splendor over the plains, you're up, up, and away for the ballon ride of a lifetime.

Set out for FULL DAY game drive in the reserve. This is usually the most popular game viewing time. During the early hours’ temperatures are low, thus providing a favorable atmosphere both for the game and the viewer.

Whatever the players, the spectacle of nature unfolding is always awe-inspiring.

Have your morning breakfast then it's time to check out of your hotel. Drive to Nairobi after breakfast, with lunch on your way. You'll be arriving in the afternoon at your respective hotel or airport.
