herds of elephant, and if you are lucky you may spot the elusive and endangered
black rhino. Following an exciting afternoon game drive, you will spend two nights
at Serena Lodge
DAY 4 - AMBOSELI
Experience early morning and afternoon game drives in Amboseli National Park, where,
with its low vegetation, it is renowned as one of the best wildlife viewing areas in
Africa. Look out for lion, buffalo, zebra and a diverse range of birdlife. The
park’s dry and dusty form is due to the volcanic ash that came from Mt. Kilimanjaro
on its last eruption, yet the lush green areas are a result of a continuous water
supply from the mountain’s melting snow. Dinner and overnight in Amboseli Serena
Lodge.
DAY 5 - AMBOSELI - TREETOPS
Drive via Nairobi to Aberdare, with lunch en route in Nairobi. You will then check
in to Outspan hotel, and leave the majority of your luggage here in order to
transfer to Treetops, your spectacular viewing perch for the night. This unique
property is famous as the place where Princess Elizabeth ascended to the British
Throne in 1952. Game is attracted by the saltlick and waterhole and with four
spectacular viewing decks and a rooftop platform, it is the ideal place to capture
incredible close-up photographs .

Enjoy an early morning tea at Treetops then return to the Outspan hotel for
breakfast and to collect your left luggage. Drive north to Samburu National Reserve
where you will spend the next two nights at Samburu Lodge situated on the banks of
the Ewaso Ngiro River. Experience the African desert at its best and as a lesser
known park it is less crowded, with game drives on both days giving you the
opportunity to hopefully spot leopard, lion and cheetah. This is the dry, north of
Kenya and the reserve attracts wildlife not often seen elsewhere, so be on the look
out for gerenuks – a unique gazelle with a long neck that stands on its hind legs
to feed .
DAY 7 - SAMBURU

black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Dinner and overnight stay at Sweetwater's
Tented Camp, experiencing the charming ambience of under-canvas living.
DAY 9 - SWEETWATERS - LAKE NAKURU
Drive via Thomson's Falls to Lake Nakuru for lunch. Here, due to an abundance of
