Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
You'll have an early morning start and drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve. You'll check in at your accommodation and have lunch. In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a game drive. The reserve is famous for its populations of elephant, wildebeest, zebra, impala, buffalo, gazelle, rhino, lion, leopard, and cheetah. Activities in Mara include morning and afternoon game drives, and night game drives to spot nocturnal creatures such as aardvarks and honey badgers. You can head out on a black rhino tracking experience, guided bush walk, horse riding, a cultural visit to Maasai villages( at an extra cost) and markets, or take a magical hot air balloon flight over the plains of the Masai Mara, which can be arranged at an extra cost, followed by a beautiful breakfast. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp. Luxury tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
You will be taken on two game drives today, in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best times to spot animals as they are most active. To get some of the best game viewing of the day, an early start is needed to beat the heat of the sun. This is the time that the big cats are most active and can provide some of the most dramatic photography, thanks to the beautiful lighting. Although it might be tempting to stay in bed and wait until the afternoon to explore. I promise you this is a game drive you don’t want to miss. This is an experience that will surely create lifetime memories. If you are fortunate enough, you will catch lions during one of their rare bouts of daytime activities. It’ll be fascinating to watch the social interaction between pride members, especially the playful ways of lion cubs under the watchful eyes of their mothers. The reserve is famous for the wildebeests’ migration. Luxury tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
You will have an early morning pick up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it is alkaline and is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world. You'll arrive in the flamingo-fringed Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive. You will embark on a comprehensive game drive of this scenic park, including visits to viewpoints, which offer superb photo opportunities. Lake Nakuru is one of several Rift Valley lakes, and its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity with flamingos (Greater and Lesser) and other water birds being the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals, including the white rhino and buffalo, and a variety of terrestrial birds numbering nearly 450 species. You'll arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite. Luxury tented camp located inside Lake Nakuru NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 4
You will have an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha. It is the highest and most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, while herons hide in it while searching for food. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400species). Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgling wine industry. An optional boat ride can be organized at an extra cost. You will also visit Crescent Island. It can be described as a garden, an animal sanctuary, or simply a little paradise. This magical space offers several unforgettable experiences, which you should definitely get to experience. If you enjoy nature photography, then you will be overwhelmed by the beauty that the Crescent Island holds. From small to big animals, birds, the sunset hitting the water surface, and the lush green vegetation that covers the space. You are sure to capture moments that are unique to the island. Luxury resort located at Lake Naivasha (Naivasha) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 5
You'll have an early morning drive to Amboseli National Park. You'll check in at your accommodation and have lunch. In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a game drive. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland. In the southern area, there are several small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps, Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. The park is known as the best place to view large herds of elephants up close. There is an immense view of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is across the border of Kenya and Tanzania. It is also dominated by the vast Lake Amboseli, which is dry outside the rainy season. There are more than 600 species of birds in the park. Your dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite. Mid-range tented camp located just outside Amboseli NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 6
You'll rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit, with a packed lunch provided. An optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. The visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in the whole of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Left unharassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari. Mid-range tented camp located just outside Amboseli NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 7
You will rise early and take off on a sunrise game drive. After the drive, you will return to the camp for breakfast and then check out and head to Tsavo West to enter through the Tsavo River gate. Tsavo West is a beautiful, rugged wilderness and offers some of the most magnificent game viewing in the world. Attractions include elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and buffalo. The park holds a wide range of habitats, wildlife, and a young mountain scenery unique in Kenya, a spectacular showcase of recent geological activities. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a picnic lunch at the designated picnic spot in the park before you continue the game drive and visit other highlights like Shetani lava flow, a black lava flow formation. In the evening, you'll return to your accommodation in Tsavo West for dinner and an overnight stay. Luxury lodge located inside Taita Hills WS All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 8
In the morning, you will be picked up from your camp and driven to the Tsavo East National Park.

Rochar Africa gave us a perfect experience. During the preparation part, they were very flexible providing us different options and changes in order to get the best itinerary for us. During our travel in Africa, they were always taking good care of us. Our guides lider, John, was amazing, he is a very experienced and charismatic person. Simon the second guide also did a great job. Thanks Rochar África for this amazing vacation. Thanks also to James and Charles.
Carolina · Panama
It was the reviews on this page that helped me to book a safari with Rochar Africa so it is my pleasure to write this. First and foremost, at the centre of it all was Phinorah who put together our Maasai Mara itinerary. She was amazing from start to finish. I was most impressed by her attention to detail and the fact that she worked around the clock to provide us with the best options to suit all our needs. She was kind, professional and, unassuming. What an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. Special thanks to Jonathon and Denton our safari guides too. 10/10 experience. Majestic in every way.
Anjlee · United Kingdom
From our first communication with Phinorah to our final few moments with Jonathan, our guide/driver, our seven day safari was excellent. Our accommodations at the four locations where we stopped were exceptional. The game drives in each park provided many opportunities for seeing many animals of every kind.
