5 Days Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Taita Hills Safari

Day 1: Nairobi – Lake Nakuru National Park

Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi or the Nairobi airport at 7:00am in the early morning. We then together depart Nairobi by road, to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is regarded by avid birders as one of the major ornithological spectacles on the planet. “Lake in pink” is probably the best way to describe it. Up to two million pink Flamingos nest around its shores, giving the lake its unique colour. Sometimes the birds are present in such numbers that the lake’s surface cannot be seen!

The lake is home to a total of 450 species of birds. There are no Elephants in the park, but during a afternoon game drive we can spot the other members of the Big Five, including tree-climbing Lions. Special attention is paid to a conservation area for White and Black Rhino. Towards the east of the lake, we take a look at Africa’s biggest Euphorbia forest, tall, cactus-like trees which are not only visually appealing, but are also providing a unique habitat for the park’s wildlife.

Day 2: Lake Nakuru National Park – Amboseli National Park

After an early breakfast, we depart Lake Nakuru for stunning Amboseli National Park. On a clear day, we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach the park. We arrive at our lodge in perfect time for lunch, find time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, and then set out on a spectacular afternoon game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of Elephants – you’ll often find plenty of them standing knee-deep in the water, spraying water, eating and bathing in the swamps to cool off. Predators stalk the herds of grazing animals, recreating the age-old drama of life and death under the African sun, in a setting so lushly beautiful.

Cheetahs, Buffaloes, Giraffes, different types of Gazelle and rich plain’s game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down on Amboseli National Park, we return to our accommodation for dinner and a comfortable night.

Day 3: Amboseli National Park

We spend a whole day in Amboseli National Park, embarking on marvelous morning and afternoon game drives. This park is a genuine paradise for all sorts of stunning wildlife. Amboseli is Big Game Country. With a bit of luck, we come face-to-face with all of the BIG Five here. Mount Kilimanjaro provides the background scenery for our adventures in Amboseli. Anyone will agree it’s a one-of-a-kind experience to witness the exact moment in which the mountain emerges from the cloud layers into bright sunshine. Kilimanjaro dominates the landscape from every perspective, dwarfing even the park’s huge Elephants. Amboseli is a must-see and even experienced Safari adventurers enjoy returning here – stunningly beautiful wildlife against the background of Africa’s highest mountain is a picture no one gets ever tired of. We can also decide to visit a Maasai Village close-by and learn about the proud tribe’s rich culture and practices.

Day 4: Amboseli National Park – Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (Salt Lick)

After an energizing breakfast, we check-out of our accommodation and head off to a game drive en-route to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (Salt Lick) for check-in and lunch. After lunch, we find time to freshen-up and relax. Then, hungry for more adventures, we embark on a spectacular afternoon game drive with chances to spot, amongst others, Elephants, Buffaloes, Lions, Cheetahs, Zebras, Gazelles and different types of birds such as Ostriches, Guinea Fowls, and Weaver Birds. Besides hosting an abundance of astonishing wildlife, Taita Hills is also rich in physical attractions, including thorny bush lands, acacia forests, arid areas, savannah and swamps.
