Day 4

See the flamingos of Lake Nakuru

After enjoying breakfast at the lodge, head off across the beautiful Kenyan landscape to Lake Nakuru National Park where you'll be spending the night at Lake Nakuru Lodge. After lunch, you will go on a game drive as you head out to see the large herds of giraffe and antelope.

The lodge looks out over the lake, giving you the chance to sit back in the afternoon and watch how the thousands of pink flamingo colour its waters in pink.

Days 5-6

See the swamps of Amboseli

After breakfast, set off for Amboseli National Park, stopping for a delicious picnic lunch en route. Arrive at this compact reserve sheltered by the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro where you’ll enjoy an afternoon game drive after checking in at the Amboseli Sopa Lodge.

The next day will also be dedicated to experiencing these new surroundings. Keep your eyes open for the plentiful wildlife found in and around the Amboseli forest and swamps.
