Day 2: Aberdare
Morning city tour of Nairobi. You'll learn about the important colonial days, as well as the exciting current ones with Kenya's youthful, new democratic government.

Day 4: Samburu
Cross the equator, this morning and your tour gide takes you a short way up Mt. Kenya for a scrumptious lunch of freshly caught trout. The afternoon's drive is one of the most spectacular in Africa: in less than 40 minutes you descend from the highland forests of Mt. Kenya onto the Great Northern Frontier, a semi-arid landscape reminiscent of America's southwest. Game view into Samburu National Park, for dinner and overnight at a lodge or luxury tented camp in the park.

Day 5: Samburu National Park
At Samburu a great river creeps through the desert making the veldt bloom. You'll see abundant game, including many rare animals not seen elsewhere in East Africa, like the Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe. There are many lion and cheetah, and the birdlife is outstanding. Larsen's is the only intimate, exclusive camp in this popular national park. Its setting riverside is one of the reasons so many of its visitors return time and again.

Day 6: Masai Mara
A spectacular morning flight that flies right over the flamingo lakes of the Great Rift Valley arrives Kenya's best park, the Maasai Mara, in time for lunch. For three nights you'll enjoy the Mara's most lavish camp, sopa mara , set along the great Mara River. The spacious tents include king beds set on hand-carved mounts from the area's teak. Victoria baths and your own butler attend to your every need. After the game drive, enjoy sundowners then dinner prepared by gourmet European chefs.

Day 7: Masai Mara National Park
At any time of the year the Mara provides some of the best game viewing in Africa, but at a time of the year(August - september) there's a chance you'll see the Great Migration. This is when about a half million white bearded gnu (wildebeest) enter the Mara from the adjacent Serengeti.

The Serengeti will have dried up, and the Mara being wetter and higher, is still growing the important nutrient grasses. Much, of course, depends upon the weather, but usually this is an outstanding time for game viewing, here. For those interested, you can also visit a Maasai village and take a hot-air balloon ride over the herds.

Day 8: Lake Manyara National Park
After a final morning of game viewing you fly into Tanzania, via Nairobi, and on to Lake Manyara on the Great Rift Valley. Immediately after you arrive, Our counter part tour guide / drivers in Tanzanian landrovers will take you into Lake Manyara National Park.

This park has the greatest diversity of plants and trees of any park, despite being rather small. Famous for its Lions-in-the-trees, there are many Elephant and unbelievable amounts of birds. Dinner and overnight at Hoopoe’s award-winning Kirurumu Camp, perched right on the escarpment overlooking Manyara.

Day 9: Ngorongoro
After breakfast you continue to Ngorongoro Crater, stopping at a fabric market in the little town of Karatu enroute. For the next 2 nights you’ll stay at one of Tanzania’s most exclusive properties, Crater Lodge. Fresh roses, fresh Stilton and special English sherry is kept topped up in every room by its personal butler. Except for the view of the world’s 8th natural wonder, lunch and dinner will make you think you’re in Europe. Descend the crater for an afternoon game drive, returning to the lodge for an elegant evening.

Day 10: Ngorongoro Crater
You are taken down into the crater before dawn, when the light is best for photography and the chances of seeing some of the last-free ranging Black Rhino are best. The hundred sq. mile crater is a wildlife paradise. More than 20,000 animals live here, including unusually tame Eland, several types of Hyaena, and a great array of birds found particularly near its central lake. The density of Lion is higher here than anywhere else in East Africa. Return to the lodge for a late lunch. This afternoon you can relax, or join your guide on a short hike through the hills of Maasailand.

Day 11: Tarangire National Park

The afternoon is spent game viewing down to the lovely camp, Swala. For 2 nights you’ll enjoy this exclusive camp, tucked far away from the tourist circuit. There are only 8 lavish tents, here, and outstanding meals prepared by professional chefs. After dinner, enjoy a brandy on the deck overlooking the waterhole frequented by Elephant.

Day 12: Tarangire
This is the ideal time for Tarangire, a park defined by its great sand rivers. More than 4000 Elephant migrate into the park, now, to dig in the rivers for water. These are not the approachable Elephant of the sort you will have seen in Samburu, but aggressive tuskers that live most of their life on the Maasai steppe far away from human habitation. The park is also known for its Leopard, and its superb stands of Baobab forests. Meals are provided and you stay overnight at Swala camp.

Day 13: Nairobi
