Day 1 – Lake Naivasha National Park Camp L,D The tour will leave the capital city of Kenya and travel north to Lake Naivasha where we spend the day at Hells Gate National Park that lies next to this shallow lake. Hell’s Gate is named for the huge red-coloured cliffs that form the entrance to the geothermal interior. This is the only National Park where you can go hiking in and activities also include game and bird watching. The park entry fees are included in the tour and a popular optional activity is game viewing on bicycles. Another optional way to spend your afternoon is to take high-tea at Elsamere – the former home of Joy Adams, best known for her autobiographical novel Born Free. Camp B,L,D The Masai Mara National Reserve is the Kenyan side of the Serengeti National Park (located in Tanzania). Today the tour will be entering this 2430 square kilometre area of spectacular game viewing to photograph some of Africa’s most abundant wildlife. Best known for the annual migration of around 1.5 million wildebeest, the Masai Mara is also home to many other plains animals including lions. In addition to what we hope will be a successful day’s game viewing, cultural interaction with Kenya’s native Masaai people will round off your experience. Day 3 – Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National ParkCamp B,L,D After some further game viewing in the Masai Mara, the tour will travel towards central Kenya and Lake Nakuru, home of the greater and lesser flamingo. Originally created as a bird sanctuary, Lake Nakuru was upgraded to National Park status in 1968. Although the shallow alkaline lake is most famous for the large flocks of flamingos that congregate to feed on the blue-green algae, the National Park is also home to a further 450 species of birds and over 50 species of mammals. White Rhino inhabit the transitional savanna area surrounding the lake and if you are lucky you will get some great photographs. Day 4 – Lake Nakuru National Park to Amboseli National ParkCamp B,L,D Today the tour will pass through Nairobi to drop off the people who were only joining for the first section of the tour. Amboseli National Park is located at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro and is most famous for the elephants and other large game that roam the savanna and (mainly) dry lake-bed. Amboseli is also home to the ACWTP – or Amboseli Community Wildlife Tourism Project – a progressive initiative that aims to provide more direct benefits to local communities through tourism. This is an excellent project that we hope you will support during your time in Amboseli. Optional Activities: ACWTP Community Project Day 5 – Amboseli National Park to KaratuCamp B,L,D The border between Kenya and Tanzania is a short distance from Amboseli NP. After crossing the border we stop for a short while in Arusha to collect supplies for the next few days. There is opportunity to barter for traditional crafts and beadwork at the roadside stalls en-route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The afternoon will be spent at Mto wa Mbu learning about the extremely varied cultural heritage of Tanzania. Day 6 – Ngorongoro Conservation AreaCamp B,L,D The first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater is an unforgettable experience. Although commonly referred to as a crater, it is actually a caldera. At over 20 km’s across and 600m deep the Ngorongoro Caldera is the largest unbroken, un-flooded caldera in the world and clear testimony to this regions volcanic history. The most renowned part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this unique feature is legendary for the more than 25 000 wild animals that occupy the crater-floor. In addition to the large population of grazing animals, the small soda-lake (Lake Makat) is home to flamingos |
