Today is all about taking in the delights of Nairobi your way, with three optional experiences to enjoy during the day. Wildlife lovers will want to visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage to learn of their renowned conservation efforts and to see the orphaned elephant's playful morning routine. While culture vultures will want to join the Nairobi City Tour to see must-visit sights including City Market, Parliament Buildings and the National Museum and Snake Park.
Enjoy the best of both worlds with a visit to the historic Karen Blixen Museum before enjoying a close encounter with wildlife at the Giraffe Centre. In the evening, you can opt to join an unforgettable trip to Africa's “greatest eating experience” at Carnivore Restaurant. With a unique feast including delicacies such as crocodile and ostrich, it's the perfect way to top off your day in Nairobi. (B)
In Africa, the early bird gets the best wildlife sightings. Rise before the sun to head out on a morning safari through Amboseli National Park with your Driver Guide in search of leopards, cheetahs and lions. As the sun rises, you'll get to sit back and enjoy the ride whilst watching large herds of African elephants roaming through the park's “salty dust” and high grasses.
Enjoy a quick picnic lunch with the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, in order to make the most of the afternoon safari. Ride back to your lodge as the sun goes down for a delicious dinner and an evening swapping stories of all the animals you spotted. (B/L/D) Stay: Sentrim Amboseli Camp
The Massai Mara – just saying the name sends shivers down our spines, and today it's all yours to explore. Accompanied by your Driver Guide, your mission today (should you choose to accept it), is to spot the Big 5. Keeping energy levels high, you'll tuck in to a picnic lunch whilst out in the wild, before continuing the safari adventure into the afternoon.
If you're visiting between June to October, you may even get a chance to witness the Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest make their annual journey across the plains. Keen to learn more about the culture and people of this ancient land? Our afternoon Optional Experience will give you the chance to visit a Maasai Village, to learn about local life and traditional customs. (B/L/D)
