8 Days Premium Kenya Safari

Upon arrival in Nairobi, the guests will be welcomed by a representative of NAMSA Prestigious Tours and introduced to their professional safari driver-guide. After a short briefing, the safari will begin with a drive towards Amboseli National Park.

The journey passes through the southern Kenyan countryside before reaching the Amboseli area. After arrival, the guests will check in at Amboseli Sopa Lodge, where lunch will be served, depending on the arrival time.

Later in the afternoon, the group will proceed for its first game drive in Amboseli National Park. The experience will provide an opportunity to search for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, lions and different bird species, with Mount Kilimanjaro forming a beautiful background when weather conditions are clear. Amboseli is especially known for its large elephant herds and views of Mount Kilimanjaro.

After the game drive, return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After an early breakfast, the guests will enjoy a morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park.

The park is recognised for its birdlife, scenic lake environment and populations of black and white rhinos. Wildlife sightings remain dependent on natural animal movements and cannot be guaranteed.

After the game drive, the group will leave Lake Nakuru and travel towards the Masai Mara region. Lunch will be served at a suitable location or provided as a packed meal, depending on the departure time.

Upon arrival, the guests will check in at Masai Mara Sopa Lodge. An evening game drive may be provided if the arrival time and reserve gate regulations allow.

After an early breakfast, the guests will depart with packed lunches for a full-day safari in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The driver-guide will select the most productive wildlife-viewing areas based on recent animal movements. The game drive will focus on searching for lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and other wildlife.

September falls within the wider migration period, although river crossings and specific wildlife sightings depend entirely on natural animal movements and cannot be guaranteed.

Lunch will be enjoyed at a designated picnic area. The game drive will continue in the afternoon before returning to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, the group will undertake another full-day game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The additional day allows the driver-guide to explore a different section of the reserve and increases the opportunity to observe wildlife behaviours that may not have been seen during the previous day.

A hot-air balloon safari can be arranged at an additional cost. It is not included in the package calculation.

After the afternoon game drive, return to Masai Mara Sopa Lodge for the final safari dinner and overnight.

There will be comfort stops during the journey. Upon arrival in Nairobi, the guests will be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or another agreed location within Nairobi.

No Masai Mara game drive or reserve re-entry is planned on this day. This avoids an additional USD 200 per-person reserve entry fee.
