An early morning drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left 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. Arrival in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive.

One full day in the Maasai Mara with flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. After breakfast, we have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lions as well as its abundant resident wildlife and it’s 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.

We will initiate the day with an early morning game drive in Maasai Mara while driving out of the National Reserve. After border formalities, drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It will be a long day of driving but the game drives going in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible. Once there you will engage in game driving along the Mara River. If we are lucky, we will get to witness spectacular river crossing by the wildebeest and zebras where they have to out-smart the crocodiles, battle against the strong river currents as well as outrunning the numerous predators that track them. Our accommodation will be situated close to the migration and on some occasions, we will be able to see the herds right outside the lodge.

Today, we will transfer to central Serengeti for a fantastic day of game driving around the central area. The central part of Serengeti is perfect for game viewing all year round because of its abundance of wildlife due to the presence of food and water throughout the year. After a fantastic day full of wildlife, we will make our way to our lodge for a night of relaxation and unwinding in the evening.

Breakfast and spend this day at the game drives, picnic lunch in between the sessions. Start your day early to maximize game-viewing opportunities. Your guide will take you to the best locations for wildlife sightings. Spend time at the Hippo Pool, observing these massive creatures and their crocodile neighbors. You’ll also witness lions, wildebeest, zebras, and other animals navigating the diverse landscape. You will experience unforgettable views and a wide variety of animals, including elephants, giraffes, and if you’re lucky, leopards and cheetahs. Later in the evening return to the camp for relaxation. Dinner and overnight at kontiki serengeti camp 

In the morning, transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th natural wonder of the world. Stop for a picnic lunch, afternoon descent down to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most incredible places on Earth. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, forest and open plains. On the way into the ngorongoro crater, option to stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Dr Louis and Mary Leakey made their discovery of the first man that walked the earth. Drive up the steep road out of the crater and transfer to your accommodation for overnight.

Head to Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. During the dry season, animals flock to the Tarangire River, the park’s lifeline. Watch as elephants skillfully tap water from the baobabs and witness an array of wildlife gathering around the river. Later evening get out of the park and drive to Arusha for dinner and overnight.

Early morning start and drive to Amboseli National Park, check in at your accommodation and afternoon rest or game drive, as you prefer.Amboseli National Park is situated South of Nairobi, most of the park consisting of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there are a number of small rocky volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Okenya, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms.

Early rise for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit with packed lunch provided. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any Safari.

A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.Early afternoon drive to Nairobi arriving at about 5 pm and transfer to your hotel or the airport. Meals: Breakfast & lunch.
