After an early breakfast we will drive from the Planis to the Amboseli National Park. The park is known for its landscape dominated by Mount Kilimanjaro. It offers an interesting contrast with its dry and dusty appearance, which can be attributed to the volcanic ash that came out of Kilimanjaro when it last erupted. Despite the dusty appearance, there is a continuous supply of water through Kilimanjaro melted snow, filtered through the volcanic rocks.
The next day spend another day in the park with game viewing in the morning and afternoon. These include zebras, gnus, giraffes, impala, caracal and serval, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes. There are also more than 400 species of birds, including the bee-eater, kingfisher, African osprey, martial eagle and pygmy hawk. The visitors come especially to observe the huge elephant herds. The bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in Kenya. You can also enjoy excellent views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.
The Swara Plains Wildlife Conservancy is our backyard boasting 100 km of trails that lead to over 3,000 game animals, 300 bird species and 8 dams. We organize day-and-night safari drives for those itching to explore the savanna and meet Kenya’s majestic animals including cheetah, antelopes, giraffes, ostriches, hyenas and more. Other activity options include archery, yoga, safari bike rentals and safari hikes. Our restaurant is a la carte and Hop Inn bar is offering refreshing drinks, healthy smoothies and cocktails.

After breakfast you drive to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, the “spotted plain” according to the Maa language. This is home to the largest concentration of large mammals and is widely recognized as Africa’s ultimate conservation area. The park is the northern continuation of the vast Serengeti – Mara ecosystem, famous for its annual wildebeest migration. You will arrive at your lodge for lunch. Afternoon game drive to sunset at this spectacular location with breathtaking scenery, endless plains and the widest variety of wildlife.
The landscape consists of gentle savannahs with spotted shrubs and bush thickets, which makes them look like dotted.
Today you have the opportunity to explore this great reserve in its depth. You will see elephants, giraffes, packs of lions, and thousands of impalas, topi, and thomson glands. Birds are also very diverse, including migratory birds more than 450 species of birds, including 57 birds of prey, are counted. The Mara is the scene of the annual migration of millions of wildebeests from the Serengeti Plains in search of water and grasses.
