In between adventures, you’ll luxuriously at some of the country’s finest hotels, safari lodges and camps, all around the region.
Day by day
Nairobi
Arrive in Nairobi, Kenya, where your Wildlife Safari representative will meet and assist you through immigration and customs. Your Wildlife Safari Guest Manager will then take you to Hemingways Nairobi by private vehicle. Here you’ll enjoy a ‘welcome’ safari briefing, with rest of day at leisure.
Amboseli
After breakfast at Hemingways Nairobi, you’ll set off in your 4WD vehicle towards Namanga with your safari guide. As soon as you enter Amboseli National Park, your game viewing will commence. After lunch at Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli, enjoy a leisurely afternoon game drive, with Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, providing a spectacular backdrop. You’ll return around sunset, with time to freshen up before dinner.
Amboseli
Set off on your early morning game drive; with luck, Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-covered peak will be clearly visible. Return for a late breakfast at Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli, then take the rest of the morning to relax. After lunch, enjoy a late-afternoon game drive around the many lakes and springs fed by Kilimanjaro’s melting snows in search of Amboseli’s legendary elephant herds. If you accept an invitation to plant an acacia tree as part of the Amboseli Reforestation Project (created by Wildlife Safari and Serena Hotels) you’ll receive a commemorative certificate. Return to Elewana Tortilis Camp Amboseli for a memorable dinner under the stars.
Ngorongoro
Savour an early breakfast and depart with your safari guide to the border town of Namanga, where you’ll enter Tanzania and onto Arusha for lunch. Continue your journey, arriving late afternoon at Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro, set adjacent to the crater within a 1500-acre Arabica coffee estate, where no luxury is spared. Relax and take in the exceptional beauty surrounding you. Dinner will be served in The Manor’s restaurant.
Ngorongoro
An early morning start to the day before descending the narrow track to the crater floor, where you’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast. Explore this Eden-like setting on the myriad of tracks around the crater floor, a mini biosphere with multitudes of animal and bird species, including the black rhino. In the early afternoon, you’ll make your up the narrow track for a late lunch and a siesta. Relish a cocktail as the sunsets over the coffee plantations before dinner is served.
Serengeti
Today you cross the adjacent Ngorongoro Conservation Area, passing Olduvai Gorge, the fascinating archaeological site, en route. There’s an optional visit to the local museum before you enter the vast Serengeti National Park. Enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing on your game drive towards either Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp, located next to the famous Grumeti River or Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp, with its extensive views overlooking Moru Kopjes, Lake Magadi and the Serengeti plains. Settle in before heading off on an afternoon game drive in this infamous wildlife haven. Enjoy a sundowner and return to camp for dinner and a crackling campfire.
Serengeti
Enjoy a full day of game viewing on the vast plains of the Serengeti, world-famous for its annual wildebeest and zebra migration, when nearly two million animals traverse the open plains in long columns searching for fresh grasslands. They finally turn northwards towards the Masai Mara in Kenya, but the game viewing in the Serengeti is amazing any time during the year. In-between riveting game drives, spend some time relaxing around the camp absorbing your magnificent surroundings. Enjoy meals at the camp and end the day around a log fire.
Masai Mara
Enjoy a morning game drive and breakfast before heading off on a transfer to the local airstrip. Board a light aircraft, flying over the Serengeti to land and clear immigration and customs in Kenya before continuing to the Masai Mara. Your Kenya safari guide will meet you on arrival and take you on a game drive to Elewana Sand River Masai Mara, set on the banks of the Sand River. Take some time to relax and settle in before heading off on a late afternoon game drive and returning for dinner.
Masai Mara
Enjoy two full days of exceptional game viewing in the Masai Mara, following herds of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, eland, topi, impala and many other species. Lion, leopard and cheetah are found here in greater concentrations than anywhere else in Africa. Your Wildlife Safari guide can arrange an extended game drive, travelling deeper into the less frequented parts of the reserve. Breakfast and dinner are at Elewana Sand River Masai Mara, while lunch is taken picnic-style under a magnificent acacia tree.
Depart
After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive en route to the airstrip for your flight to Wilson Airport. A Wildlife Safari representative will meet and transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward trip.

Destinations on this trip
Kenya has as good a claim as anywhere to being the country where modern safaris began, and where they’re done best, and it still regularly features high on travel magazines ‘must-visit’ lists. Kenya has been doing what it does best for decades, and yet there’s always something new to discover on Kenya safaris.
Amboseli is known as Kenya’s land of giants, and it’s not hard to see why. Africa’s tallest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, towers over the national park, and it’s also one of the best places in East Africa to encounter elephant in numbers. No wonder people use superlatives to describe Amboseli safaris.
Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater from one of the luxury lodges perched on its rim is one of the most remarkable safari experiences available in Tanzania. Driving across an ancient volcanic caldera, the wildlife may seem familiar, but the setting is quite unique, and this makes for wonderful photographic opportunities.
The Serengeti takes its name from a Maasai word meaning ‘where the land runs on forever’. It’s one of the most evocative and iconic safari destinations of all – not least because it’s the stage on which much of the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration is played out each year.
The place that launched a thousand clips, and millions of images. There’s no more iconic safari destination than Kenya’s Masai Mara, with its eponymous tribespeople, millions of thundering hooves, and equal parts drama, magic and romance. Kenya itineraries without Masai Mara safaris are almost unthinkable, and every moment spent there is unforgettable.
