7 Days

Day 1 – Aberdare National Park, Mountain Lodge, 1 night

The safari begins with the drive to The Aberdare National Park for an overnight stay at Mountain Lodge.

Mountain Lodge provides an up close and personal view of the Aberdare forest, which comes alive at night. The Aberdare National Park includes moor lands and mountain slopes covered with heavy forest and criss-crossed with deep ravines. In the forest are Red Duiker, suni, bushbuck, elephant, buffalo, giant forest hog, leopard and colobus monkey. Kenya Safari Eland occur on the open moor lands as do serval. Mobile game viewing can be difficult in such thick vegetation and so the lodges within the park overlook water holes. A service is provided to wake you in the night should a nocturnal species in which you have an interest come to drink.

All rooms have an en suite bathroom and an excellent view of the waterhole below. A specially constructed viewing bunker is connected to the lodge by a short tunnel and allows an incredibly close view of game as they come to drink or lick salt.

Day 2 & 3 – Samburu Game Reserve, Serena Lodge, 2 nights Kenya Tour

Driving north your safari comes to the Samburu Reserve and the Serena Lodge – morning and afternoon game drives are included.

Days 5 & 6 – Masai Mara, Serena Lodge, 2 nights Kenya Adventure Tour
Today’s drive will take you to one of Africa’s most renowned game viewing havens – the Masai Mara. Arrive in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive.

The Masai Mara Game Reserve contains great concentrations of wildlife and adjoins Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains forming the northern end of the great migration ecosystem. From June to October you have a good chance of seeing the migratory herds as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra move through the area in search of new grass. The Mara, however, has great resident game and at any time of the year it is usual to see lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo, jackal, topi, gazelles, impala and elephant. Hippos and crocodiles are plentiful in the rivers and the bird life is also abundant. No less than 53 different species of birds of prey alone have been recorded. The Mara is also the traditional land of the Masai people, nomadic herders who choose a traditional lifestyle and who are permitted to graze their cattle in the area.

An interpretation of a traditional Masai Manyatta village of domed huts, Mara Serena Safari Lodge is set on the saddle of a hill where it overlooks the 1,800 square kms of rolling plains, woodlands and rivers that make up the Masai Mara Triangle – one of the world’s richest wildlife sanctuaries. Every room is an individual "hut" – spread out to give each one uninterrupted views of the plains, the meandering riverine forest and the silhouetted hills beyond. The view from the pool and surrounding decks is also a panorama of the spectacular plains of the Mara.
