NAIROBI

With a morning at leisure, you can opt to enjoy this time to relax at our hotel. Or perhaps you’ll decide to join our optional tour to Kibera, a slum on the outskirts of Nairobi, where you’ll meet the people who live here.

We can also explore one of Africa’s most cosmopolitan cities—Nairobi—during a city walking tour with our Trip Leader.

Overnight in Nairobi

LAKE NAKURU

We travel overland today to Lake Nakuru National Park in time for a morning game-viewing excursion. Lake Nakuru is famous for the seasonal migration of vast rings of flamingos that often transform its placid waters into a shimmering sea of pink. The park is also home to a relatively large population of black and white rhinos.
Later we embark on an afternoon nature walk. Be sure to keep those cameras ready—we’ll have another great chance to explore the diverse landscape and colorful birdlife here.

AMBOSELI

We rise early to experience a Day in the Life of a Maasai village. We’ll learn about Maasai culture, including how they tend their livestock, make their natural medicines, and create their ceremonial dress. We’ll take part in daily activities both inside and outside the boma huts.

In the afternoon we embark on a drive to look for the elusive gerenuk, a delicate antelope with a long, giraffe-like neck that enables it to browse the middle branches of acacia trees. You may see families of giraffe, herds of zebra and antelope—and if you are lucky, you may spot the rare serval cat.  We return to our camp in the early evening in time to relax before we gather for dinner.
