awaits you. Tsavo is Kenyas largest NP, the home of the
legendary man-eaters of Tsavo. It is semi arid
in a level, open country with scattered rocky ridges and hills.
Due to its size, the park is one of the world's wildlife and
biodiversity strongholds. There are large herds of Elephants,
Buffaloes, Zebras, Gazelles, Lions, Hyenas and other wildlife
and it is one of the best bird watching areas in Kenya. Why
go to Tsavo? For solitude, privacy and excellent chance to explore
the wilderness.
Accommodation: 3 nights at Severin Safari Camp (B,L,D).
Day 4,5+6: Amboseli National Park
On
day 4 you transfer by road to Amboseli, which lays immediately
North West of Mt. Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania and
is famous for its big game and its great scenic beauty because
the landscape is dominated by Africas highest mountain.
The National Park embodies 5 main wildlife habitats: open
plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and
marshlands. These diverse habitats support large concentrations
of wildlife even during the dry season and they also support
a wide variety of birds.
Accommodation: 3 nights at Tortilis Camp (B,L,D).
Day 8,9+10: Masai Mara
On day 8 you first fly to Nairobi where you take your scheduled
connecting flight to Masai Mara. This game reserve is part of
the Mara - Serengeti ecosystem and is the most popular park
in East Africa.
It
has a high density of easy to see game: Elephants, Buffaloes,
Leopards, Lions, Rhinos, Giraffes and many types of plains game.
The rivers crossing the park are home to Hippos and Crocodiles.
452 bird species, 53 of which are raptors, have been recorded.
Although game is available throughout the year the park becomes
a lifes wonder during the annual migration from the plains
of the Serengeti to the Mara grasslands of Wildebeest, Zebra and
Gazelle. These are tracked by predators: Lion, Leopard, Cheetah,
Hyena and circled by Vultures as the journey unfolds. To witness
the migration plan your safari for July through October.
With wide-open savannah, lone trees and rolling
grasslands Masai Mara is the kind of African landscape that
you see in documentaries and movies.
Accommodation: 3 nights Fig Tree Tented Camp. (B,L,D)
