Day 1
Nairobi- Masai Mara National Reserve
You'll have an early morning start and drive to 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 elephants, wildebeest, zebras, impalas, buffalos, gazelles, rhinos, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. 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.

Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve
You will be taken on two game drives today: 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 wildlife viewing of the day. This is when 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 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. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp. Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3
Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru National Park
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 being 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 buffaloes, 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 lodge.

Day 4
Lake Nakuru National Park-Lake Naivasha
You will have an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha. It is the highest and the 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 400 species). There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them due to altitude, but there are several hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgling wine industry. An optional boat ride and visit to Crescent Island can be arranged at an extra cost. 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 get to experience. If you enjoy nature photography, then you will be overwhelmed by the beauty that Crescent Island holds. From small to big animals, birds, the sunset hitting the water surface.

Day 5
Lake Naivasha- Amboseli National Park
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 Amboseli Sopa Lodge 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. You will spend your night at the lodge.

An optional visit to a Maasai village can be planned after breakfast (at an extra cost). 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 carefree, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps must form the highlights of any safari. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 7
Amboseli-Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast, you will go on a full-day game drive en route to Tsavo West National Park with a picnic lunch in hand. One place worth visiting here is the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them. From here, there are wonderful views over Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be experienced from the poacher's lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater, which is less than 200 years old and composed of black coke, is also worth visiting and can be climbed if one is interested. This area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that is as agile as its Swahili name: mbuzi mawe (mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Wow
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
Excellent Safari Experience
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.
