Kenyan Highlights Trip for 6 Days

Kenya boasts places that will stay with you forever, from the Maasai Mara, the setting for the Great Migration, to Mt Kilimanjaro, the inspiration for Out of Africa. You spend the day in an open-top vehicle through National Parks and wide grasslands and the night in safari-style hotels. You’ll witness large wildlife in the parks and get close to giraffes and elephants for the full African experience.

We will cross the Great Rift Valley, and will arrive at our Maasai Mara lodge for lunch and our first game drive. Watch for wildlife big and little as we pass those wonderful undulating hills. After, take a hot air balloon trip over the African Savannah at sunrise. After a champagne brunch, we will continue the game drive. After a swim at the resort, we’ll go on our second wildlife drive to find Africa’s big cats. Nature’s Great Migration occurs in the Maasai Mara. If you visit at the appropriate time, you can see millions of wildebeest and zebras heading to better pastures.

Kenyan adventurers, shine! After the Maasai Mara, we’ll return to Nairobi for more wonder. We return to Nairobi for something spectacular. We’ll visit the Kibera Slum to view the Mirror of Hope Foundation’s outstanding work to break the cycle of poverty through education and better women and children’s lives. After that, unwind and choose from hotel restaurants with Nairobi National Park views.

We’ll enjoy a spectacular game drive in Nairobi National Park after returning to Nairobi. Look for waterholes, cityscapes, and the rare white rhino. We’ll also visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Rehabilitation Centre to witness baby elephants play and bathe in the water (the most beautiful chaotic mess you’ll ever see) and learn about their recovery. We’ll go to our lodge on the edge of Amboseli National Park with views of Mt. Kilimanjaro after a picnic lunch and a visit to a local Curio shop, to enjoy a great included meal.

Masaai warriors will lead us on a short safari walk to a village where they will explain us about their culture and life with wild animals. After, we’ll visit Amboseli National Park, famous for its photos of elephants and wildlife feeding while Mt Kilimanjaro rises in the background. The photographer’s dream is yours. Our last Kenyan supper will be at the resort.

One last game drive via Amboseli to Tanzania will conclude this fantastic journey. We return to Nairobi to drop off guests at the airport or accommodation. We’ll bid goodbye to our Africa trip and new Contiki family with full hearts and memories.
