Leaving Nairobi early morning, travel towards Kenya’s fertile highlands and head down the Rift Escarpment on a road built by Italian prisoners during World War II. Keep an eye out for the charming chapel at the foot of the escarpment. Pass the futuristic Longonot earth satellite station as you head across the valley to Narok, and then travel through beautiful fields of wheat and barley. Reach the Maasai Mara and Sentrim Mara Camp in time for lunch and perhaps a siesta. Afterwards, it’s time for the first game drive of the tour in the afternoon. Sentrim Mara Camp, located only three kilometres from the Sekenani gate, makes the perfect base for an authentic safari experience. The rustic-style tents are spread out in serene surroundings amongst acacia trees and have modern en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and an elevated private balcony for spectacular views of the sunsets and the hills filled wildlife. The pool too offers wonderful views. All this ensures a blissfully comfortable stay, in the late evening, dinner will be served at the lodge. Overnight in Maasai Mara.

There are also antelopes, gazelles, wildebeest, and many other wonderful creatures.

Bid farewell to the Maasai Mara after breakfast and travel across the ‘breadbasket’ of Kenya. Wheat and barley plantations dominate the landscape as you head north to Narok, the district headquarters of this part of Maasailand. Cross the vast plains on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, keeping an eye out for herds of giraffes and gazelles as you head up the Mau Escarpment. Arrive at your lodge at Lake Elementaita around midday. After lunch, depart for an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, whose waters are often coloured a shimmering pink from the thousands of flamingos that line its shores. Both black and white rhinos are also carefully protected and given a new lease of life in this fully fenced 188 square-kilometre park. The Rothschild’s giraffe is another rarity and the park has its fair share of buffaloes, leopards, zebras, elands, waterbucks, and lions. Sentrim Elementaita Lodge is located on the shores of flamingo and pelican-fringed Lake Elementaita. The lodge overlooks this beautiful lake and its surrounding national park – a paradise for bird-watchers and wildlife lovers alike.

The lake is located at one of the highest elevations in the Rift Valley, which is left behind as the tour proceeds towards Nairobi for an early lunch (or a picnic lunch depending on the road conditions). Head south to Amboseli National Park, arriving at Sentrim Amboseli Camp by late afternoon. The lodge lies on the border of the national park, with amazing views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and is considered one of the best spots for viewing elephants at close range. Sentrim Amboseli Camp provides a great base from which to explore the park and take some great photos of this stunning snow-capped mountain. Each protected tent has its own private veranda, perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and taking in the views. There is also a superb pool area framed by Kilimanjaro, a restaurant, and a bar. In the evening, wrap the day up with dinner at the lodge. Overnight at Amboseli.

You can see most types of game in the park, including rhinos, giraffes, gazelles, lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Birdlife is prolific, too, especially around the swamp areas. This entire experience is carried out under the shadow of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, which rises some 5,000 metres above the national park. There is a warm picnic lunch at the park with the return to the lodge in the afternoon. Unwind on arrival or perhaps even take a quick dip in the pool before dinner. Overnight at Amboseli.
