Amboseli 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 to wetlands with sulfur springs, the savannah, and woodlands. You will be arriving with a game drive and proceed to your lodge. Check into your hotel, have lunch, and have a short rest.

Amboseli National Park to Lake Naivasha
Enjoy your breakfast, check out, and leave Amboseli for Lake Naivasha. There will be a stop to view the beautiful scenes of the Great Rift Valley, the world's largest valley of this nature! You will arrive on time for lunch and check-in. Later in the afternoon, you will go on a boat ride on the sparkling waters of Lake Naivasha. This boat ride promises to unveil a plethora of the region's birdlife. You will travel with a resident expert who will help you identify some of the region's 400 bird species. Keep your binoculars ready to zoom in on the pink-backed pelicans, the goliath heron, and the saddle-billed stork. After the boat ride, you will proceed to Crescent Island Game Sanctuary, a scenic and breathtaking wildlife sanctuary along the lake. The sanctuary is the only place to walk freely with the animals.

You will have lunch at the Aberdare Country Club and set off for The Ark in the forest on the Aberdare mountain slopes at 2,134 meters (7,000 feet). This outstanding lodge offers high-altitude game viewing, including animals rarely encountered elsewhere—giant forest hog, bush pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive bongo. Wildlife can be observed from different levels at The Ark—from outside, where you can see, hear, and smell everything, and inside, where you can sit with a cup of tea and stay warm and cozy. You can request to be awakened at night if your favorite animals appear. A herd of elephants might be just feet away, and if you are lucky, a leopard or significant male lion might appear.
Dinner and overnight stay are at The Ark.

A wonderful introduction to Kenya's wildlife. The game drives were exciting, and we saw so many animals up close. The lodges were comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The only downside was the early mornings, but it was worth it for the sightings!

An unforgettable journey through Kenya's best parks. The guides were excellent, and the lodges were charming. The only thing I'd suggest is adding a night in Masai Mara to explore more. Otherwise, it was perfect!

This tour was worth every penny! The sheer number of animals we saw was unbelievable, and the landscapes were stunning. The only minor issue was the Wi-Fi being spotty at some lodges, but it was nice to disconnect and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!
