"Baobab" Safari
Short Description and Price
Road+Flight combination safaris bring together the best of both worlds. By flying some parts of the journey, we can cover greater distances in less time and avoid stretches of rugged terrain.
This exclusive combination safari to Kenya’s famous Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East takes you on the adventure of a lifetime. We begin our adventure in the world-famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Soft grasslands and endless plains teeming with wildlife lie ahead of us. The Maasai Mara is the true home to Africa’s BIG FIVE, and the enormous reserve is a must-see for every ambitious safari adventurer. Our journey then leads us on to the shores of Flamingo-covered Lake Nakuru, arguably Kenya’s most beautiful lake. As we travel south, we reach the foot of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park. Whoever witnesses Africa’s highest mountain emerging from the cloud layers into open sunshine cannot help but cherish Africa’s wild and uplifting spirit. Finally, our safari adventure takes us to Tsavo East National Park, home to Kenya’s fancy “Red Elephants”.

Day 1: Nairobi – Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Our driver will comfortably pick you up at your hotel or at the Nairobi airport in the early morning at 7.00am. We then travel along the Great Rift Valley, passing by the extinct volcano of Mount Longonot en-route to marvelous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. You might notice a Maasai Moran (=Warrior) standing on one foot while herding hundreds of cows, goats and sheep. His only defense against the dangerous wildlife surrounding him to all sides is a single stick or spear! We arrive at our lodge in perfect time for lunch, find time to relax and freshen up a bit, then head for more adventures. In the late afternoon hours, we have good chances of a close encounter with the Big Five (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo and Leopard), and can easily spot herds of Wildebeest (Gnus), Zebras, Gazelles, Impalas and Maasai Giraffes. In the Maasai Mara we find the old Africa of the movies. You will love it!

Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner
Day 2: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Embarking on magnificent morning and afternoon game drives, we spend a whole day viewing wildlife in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. The famous reserve has been the setting of the well-known movie ‘Out of Africa’. Its astonishing wildlife is the star of the show, providing drama and intrigue against the backdrop of a spectacular scenery. We definitely have good chances of encountering the “BIG FIVE” face-to-face: Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo and Leopard. Wildebeest (Gnus), Zebras, Cheetahs and Gazelles can also be easily spotted.
We also look out for the great migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million Wildebeest, 200,000 Zebras and 350,000 Gazelles stretching their legs over 2000km in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival. A trip to the Maasai Mara during the time of the great migration is surely an impression nobody can ever forget.

Day 3: Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Lake Nakuru National Park
Breakfast is served at our camp, then we board the safari vehicle and enjoy our last game drive en-route in the Maasai Mara. Excited from our sightings, we head off towards Lake Nakuru National Park. “A lake in pink” – that’s probably the best way to describe Lake Nakuru. Up to two million Flamingos nest around its shores, giving the lake its unique colour. Sometimes the birds are present in such numbers that the surface can hardly be seen!
We arrive at Lake Nakuru in perfect time for lunch and a siesta, then depart for some fabulous afternoon game viewing. The lake is home to more than 450 species of birds. There are no Elephants in the park, but we can spot the other members of the Big Five, including tree-climbing Lions. Large animals live around the lake’s shores, such as Giraffes, Buffaloes, Leopards and Primates.
Overnight at the Lake Nakuru Lodge or Flamingo Hill Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 4: 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 exam-ples 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.
Overnight at the Sentrim Amboseli Lodge or Kibo Safari Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 5: 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 6: Amboseli National Park – Tsavo East National Park
We start our sixth day of safari adventure with an early-morning game drive and breakfast, then depart Amboseli in direction of Tsavo East National Park. We arrive in good time for lunch, then head off to more adventures in an afternoon game drive. Tsavo East is known for excellent game viewing which includes Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Zebras, Giraffes, Antelopes, Kudus, Oryx, Klipspringers, Impalas, Stripped Hyenas, Ostriches, Gazelles, Buffaloes, Tsavo’s famous “Red Elephants” and many more. We can also marvel at a variety of migratory and native birds. These birds are present between late October and early January, and come from as far as Eastern- and Western Europe.
Tsavo East’s landscape is mostly open savannah and wide plains, making game spotting easy and rewarding. Excited from our sightings and the day’s impressions, we return to our lodge for a delicious dinner and a comfortable night.

Day 7: Tsavo East National Park – Nairobi
We enjoy a last morning game drive in Tsavo East, take breakfast and proceed with a game drive en-route to Voi Town for lunch. After lunch, we drive on to Mombasa’s Moi Airport for your flight back to Nairobi. In Nairobi, our driver already awaits you to safely transfer you back to your hotel. Your safari to the wonderful Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East ends here, but you won’t go empty-handed. Instead, you return home filled with the strong spirit of African adventure and wearing a big bright smile right across your face, that is a promise!
