DAY 1: NAIROBI- MASAI MARA
Your 14-day Kenya Adventure safari is about to begin. Your Nature Romp Safaris driver/guide will pick you up by your hotel, residence, or location of your choice.Now it’s just one small step for mankind as you eagerly board your private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep to start this two-week adventure.
We will move down the highway, passing homesteads, farms, and the dramatic cliffs of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Arrival in time for lunch. Freshen up at your safari lodge or tented camp and get ready for your first game drive.
We can’t think of a better place to start your safari than on the acacia-dotted rolling hills of the Masai Mara, with its big cats and immense herds of grazers. You are experiencing one of the densest ecosystems in Africa.We’ll spend our afternoon tracking for lions, elephants, and more in this world-famous reserve. And as the sun begins to drop to the horizon we’ll head to our accommodation to relax and enjoy dinner.
DAY 2: FULL DAY GAME VIEWING
Today you’ll get a full taste of the safari experience as you Romple over the hills and savannahs, tracking for elephants, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, and all the big cats for which the park is so well known.
If you’re here during the season of the Great Migration, (July – October) you’ll also witness the drama of uncountable wildebeests, zebra, and gazelle, storming over the Mara River on their annual pilgrimage for food and water. And always waiting for these infinite grazers are the crocodiles lurking in the river, plus the big cats prowling in the bush.
Take an optional visit to one of the local villages where you can meet the Maasai, learn about their lifestyle, and maybe even participate in their famous jumping dance.
For another special moment, we invite you to enjoy our optional sunrise hot air balloon safari over the park. Rise above the dawning savannahs and sail over the reserve to spot the wildlife from above. It’s a moment in time you’ll never forget.Dinner and overnight at the lodge/ca mp

DAY 5:FULL DAY IN SERENGETI
Like at the Masai Mara, this will be a day of unlimited game drives. However, we should note, the choice is always yours as to how busy you want your safari to be. Just discuss with your driver/guide and he will be happy to accommodate you.
The Serengeti is home to thousands of lions, leopards, elephants and literally millions of wildebeests.

DAY 7: FULL DAY IN NGORONGORO

DAY 9:LAKE MANAYARA-TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK APPROX 4HRS
We’ll take a final drive around the park to view the busy wildlife and its colorful birdlife, adorning the lake.Now, we’re off to Tarangire Park – a reserve that’s long on wildlife and fairly empty of tourists.
Of course you know about the Great Migration, linking the Serengeti and Masai Mara but Tarangire Park has its own smaller migration. Expect to see every manner of wildlife: ostriches, warthogs, impalas, lions, leopards, and lots of elephants.The park is also known for its bizarre baobab trees, an incredible species with a mishappen trunk that appears as if it was planted upside down.Return for Dinner and Overnight at the camp/lodge
DAY 10:TARANGIRE-AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK APPROX 4 HRS
Today we will return to Kenya and head to its second most popular reserve, Amboseli Park, resting near the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro. On route, the snow-capped peak of the great peak will be our beacon, guiding us to the park.Often called the “Land of the Giants”, Amboseli is home to a multitude of elephant families which you are guaranteed to see as they amble to their favorite feeding spots and watering holes.The park hosts all the “big five”, so we’ll also be tracking for lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos during our stay here. Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge
DAY 11: EXTENSIVE GAME DRIVE
this is a day of unlimited game drives. Explore as much as you wish.Amboseli is a compact park which makes game spotting easier as the rangers are well-informed about where certain wildlife can be seen.
Besides the big game, we’ll undoubtedly discover some of the smaller species as they roam the park, like zebra, fox, monkey, baboon, and more. The reserve is also known for its variety and number of avian life – look for heron, falcon, eagle, and the Egyptian goose accenting the skies and the marshes here.Toward evening, we may be lucky and the mists covering Kilimanjaro’s snowy summit could part revealing one of Africa’s most memorable sights.Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge
DAY 12: AMBOSELI-TSAVO WEST APPROX 2 -3 HRS
Tsavo parks are the largest and oldest of Kenya’s wildlife refuges. Tsavo West is known for its scenic landscapes of rolling hills and valleys.We will have a good chance of seeing the endangered rhino here at the Nguila Rhino Sanctuary, the protective home to over 80 of these shy and unusual animals.
No visit to Tsavo West is complete without a stop at another of the park’s unique features, the lovely Mzima Springs. This unexpected oasis is a lush reprieve and we’ll step from our 4 x 4 Jeep to walk its palm-shrouded banks, taking in the exotic fish, birds, hippos, and even crocodiles nestling in its waters.Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge
DAY 13: TSAVO WEST-TSAVO EAST APPROX 1 HR
Enjoy your breakfast.Proceed for your kenya wildlife holiday safari .Tsavo East’s vast plains will impress as we arrive at the great reserve. While here we’ll be looking for lion, elephant, buffalo, eland, impala, giraffe, as well as many of the smaller species.
Tsavo East’s lions have a legacy for their ferocity and exhibit unusually short manes, a curious evolutionary development you won’t find elsewhere.While here, you may spot elephants with a rosy look to their hide. This is due to the park’s red-oxide soil, which the big tuskers like to roll in, thus giving themselves a rouge-like make over!As evening approaches, look for yet another spectacular African sunset.Return to the lodge/camp for dinner and overnight.
DAY 14:TSAVO EAST-NAIROBI OR MOMBASA
It is our fourteenth and final day on safari. You’ve become experienced wildlife observers and now have a sense as to where to look to spot your favorites.Let’s take another game drive through the park before heading to the Kenyan coast and the exciting city of Mombasa.We should arrive there in the afternoon (Aabout 3 hours from tsavo to Mombasa) and we’ll bring you to the hotel, resort or another place of your choosing.Or choose to drive back to Nairobi with a drop off at the airport/hotel/residence.
