Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
Your Kenya tour opens in Nairobi, where traffic hums, voices lift from the streets and the promise of the plains waits beyond the city. You hear the roar of Thomson’s Falls, watch birds lift from Lake Nakuru’s shoreline and settle into your safari vehicle as the Maasai Mara stretches wide around you. Across 5 game drives, you’ll scan the grass for the Big 5, listen for hippos at the lodge watering hole after dark and feel that deep hush before something moves. With your Driver Guide leading the way, this 8-day Kenya tour carries you from city buzz to wild open country.

4Amboseli National Park Full Day Safari Game Drive
In Africa, the early bird gets the best wildlife sightings. Rise before the sun to head out on a morning safari through Amboseli National Park with your Driver Guide in search of leopards, cheetahs and lions. As the sun rises, sit back and enjoy the ride whilst watching large herds of African elephants roaming through the park’s “salty dust” and high grasses. Enjoy lunch with the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Return to your lodge as the sun goes down for a delicious dinner and an evening of swapping stories about all the animals you spotted.

5Amboseli National Park - Lake Elementaita
Another day, another blockbuster. The utterly serene Lake Elementaita is guaranteed to capture your imagination today, not least because of the multitude of bird species that inhabit this area - some of which can only be found here. See if you can spot the lake’s Great White pelicans, greater and lesser flamingos, yellow-billed stork, or African spoonbill from the camp grounds. If you’re a self-proclaimed twitcher or bird enthusiast, welcome to utopia.

Today the Maasai Marai is all yours to explore. Accompanied by your Driver Guide, your mission today (should you choose to accept it), is to spot the Big 5. Keeping energy levels high, you’ll tuck into a picnic lunch whilst out in the wild, before continuing the safari adventure into the afternoon. If you’re visiting between June to October, you may even get a chance to witness the Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest make their annual journey across the plains. Keen to learn more about the culture and people of this ancient land? An afternoon Optional Experience will give you the chance to visit a Maasai village to learn about local life and traditional customs.

8Maasai Mara - Depart Nairobi
The words of ‘Out of Africa’ author Karen Blixen will feel especially poignant as you say a final farewell to the Maasai Mara this morning. “If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari again”. Well, never say never! Returning to Nairobi in a haze of wildlife and happy memories, you’ll have a quiet afternoon at your hotel ahead of your evening flight (onward flights should not be booked to depart until after 5 pm). If you already can tell you’ll want another day to explore cosmopolitan Nairobi and grab some final gifts, consider staying overnight and flying out the following evening. On occasion, hotels of similar standard and location may be utilized.

We recommend applying 60 days prior to departure.* IMPORTANT: Please see important visa details sent with your invoice.* ARRIVAL: Guests are to arrive into Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). Complimentary and chargeable arrival transfers are not offered in conjunction with this trip. Guests should make their own way from the airport at their own expense.* DEPARTURE: International flights departing from Nairobi¿s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) should not be scheduled before 17:00. Guests are transferred from the end hotel in Maasai Mara to the Hilton Garden Inn Airport Hotel in Nairobi on the final day of the tour only. This transfer is included in the tour cost. Guests may use the Hilton Garden Inn Airport Hotel in Nairobi, where a room is available until 18:00 for them to freshen up and relax before their evening flight home. The complimentary 5-minute transfer from the Hilton Garden Inn Airport Hotel in Nairobi to the airport must be arranged directly by guests with the hotel.* LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE: Each guest is permitted one bag with maximum dimensions of 58 linear inches (147 cm), the total of length, width, and height - and a weight not exceeding 44 lbs (20 kg). Guests may also bring one personal item, such as a purse, backpack, or similarly sized item that fits comfortably under the seat in front of them or the overhead compartment weighing no more than 15 lbs (7kg).* PORTERAGE: Porterage is not included; guests will be required to handle their own luggage throughout their tour.* NOTE: The full duration of this itinerary is operated by a 4x4 safari vehicle (no toilets on board), including all road travel and safari game drives. Guests must travel with a soft sided bag or medium size suitcases due to limited space in the safari vehicles. Travel is over a variety of terrains, resulting in some rough and bumpy journeys. Not recommended for anyone suffering from back problems. The 4X4 safari vehicle which operates this tour has limited storage space for luggage. Guests should therefore travel with a medium-sized soft-sided bag or suitcase to ensure we can easily accommodate the luggage of all guests on the tour. Soft sided bags makes it easier for the Driver Guides to pack the luggage space efficiently without having to move some of the bags inside the vehicle if there is no space remaining in the luggage compartment.* GROUND HANDLER: This trip is operated by Somak Safaris.* NOTE: This Trip falls under LEVEL 2. Please refer to the Deposit, Payment and Cancellations policies on our website.
