6-Day Sopa Lodges Safari Experience

Your safari starts with a pick-up at 7:30am from your Nairobi hotel or airport, from where you drive to Amboseli National Park. You will arrive in Amboseli shortly after noon and check into your lodge/camp. Then, have a hot lunch and time to rest. At 4:00pm, depart for an afternoon game drive. The highlight of Amboseli is the remarkable concentration of elephants, the most in the world! It is home to over 1600 elephants from 56 different families. Each of the elephants has a name and a photo attached to its name. After the game drive, we will return to the lodge/camp, freshen up, and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner. Your overnight stay will be at your lodge/camp.

After breakfast, head out for an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. Highlights include seeing hundreds of black and white rhinos and other wildlife species. After the game drive, we head to Masai Mara National Reserve. At 5:00pm, Masai Morans (warriors) will pick you up from your accommodation and guide you on a walking safari as you head for a cultural tour of some of the old communities that still exist. Later, head back to the lodge/camp, freshen up, and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner and overnight stay at Mara Sopa Lodge. Between July and October, the Great Rift Valley gets busy. Millions of zebras and wildebeest cross the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory, and in their wake comes a veritable horde of predators.

Today's itinerary is flexible, and you can discuss the day's schedule with your guide. You can have a relaxed breakfast and then depart for a full day game drive, leaving the lodge/camp at around 7:30am. You will have your picnic lunch, which you will enjoy during the day.

Then, at 4:00pm, depart on an afternoon game drive. At 6:30pm, return to the lodge/camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
