Day 1: Arrive Nairobi- Maasai Mara
Arrive in Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (time to be advised). Meet and assist by Trails of Africa Safaris airport representative and depart for Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Arrive for lunch before embarking for an afternoon game drive.

Day 2: Full Day Maasai Mara
Full day spent exploring this natural wonder with a visit to the Mara River where the wildebeest migration takes place. See both the hippos and the crocodiles coexist in the same waters. The Masai Mara’s biggest draw card is the Wildebeest Migration when vast hordes of Wildebeest roar through the park bringing in its trail a wake of mighty predators. At Mara River watch as crocodiles and lions compete to pick-off stragglers from the clattering herds of wildebeest.
Optional Maasai Mara Balloon Ride: Enjoy early morning ballooning over the plains, getting a bird’s eye view of the game below as the sun creeps slowly over the horizon. After approximately one hour aloft, the balloon lands while a breakfast is being prepared for us nearby. The smell of bacon, sausages and eggs drift on the breeze as we sample exotic Kenyan fruits and homemade pastries and, if you wish, glasses of bubbly to toast our flight, a tradition initiated by the Montgolfier brothers.Overnight at Sarova Mara game camp/Keekorok Lodge/Mara Leisure Camp or a similar lodge booked on full board; Lunch/Dinner/ Breakfast

Day 3: Maasai Mara – Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, head to Naivasha for a Boat Ride on Lake Naivasha spot the many species of waterfowl and brilliantly colored kingfishers. The lake is a birdwatchers fantasy. There are over 450 species in the immediate area including the highland escarpments, which surround the lake to the south and west. From October to March, palaearctic migrants generously supplement the resident bird population. On Lake Naivasha, pelicans and cormorants are numerically superior but pride of place must go to the African Fish Eagle whose haunting call remains as significant to lake visitors as does the roar of a lion in the parks.Overnight at Amboseli Sopa Lodge or a similar lodge booked on full board; Lunch/Dinner/ Breakfast

Day 4: Lake Naivasha – Amboseli
After breakfast we make the journey to the Amboseli National Park, one of the most popular of Kenya’s national parks. At the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft.), the park lies southeast of Nairobi, very close to the Tanzania border. The snowcapped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro dominates every aspect of Amboseli forming a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya’s most spectacular displays of wildlife – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains’ game, creating Kenya’s most sought after photographer’s paradise.Overnight at Amboseli Sopa Lodge or a similar lodge booked on full board; Lunch/Dinner/ Breakfast.

Day 5: Amboseli – Tsavo West National Park
