This 7-day Kenya vacation takes you to the capital of Nairobi and several game reserves within the country, including the famous Masai Mara.
Your trip to Kenya begins in the capital, Nairobi, a bustling city that is at the forefront of African technology and innovation. Head to the Nairobi National Museum to learn about the country's history before sampling the incredible food and nightlife in the evening.
From Nairobi, head across the Great Rift Valley to enter world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Staying at the environmentally-friendly Masai Mara Sopa Lodge, you'll spend a few days heading on game drives to see the incredible wildlife within the park. Rise early in the morning to catch the Big Five in the midst of their feeding rituals or spot cheetah racing across the African savannah. After lunch, head back into the wild to follow hyenas on their hunt or elephants crossing the plains. During your stay, you'll also visit a local Masai village to meet with villagers and learn about their traditional ways of life.
From the Masai Mara, head across the bread basket of Kenya to Lake Nakuru, a soda lake in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. Check into Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge before heading on a game drive at sunset to see the flamingos cover the waters of the lake. During your game drive, you may also spot rare black rhinos or Rothschild giraffes running across the horizon.
Continue to Amboseli National Park, taking a boat ride on Lake Naivasha along the way, for the final portion of your trip to Kenya. Settle into Amboseli Sopa Lodge and bask into the breathtaking landscape set against the backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain on the continent. Head on a full-day game drive in the shadow of the mountain to spot elephant families bathing in waterholes, lions lounging in the sun, or cheetahs sprinting after prey. The next day, savour the final views of Kilimanjaro as you head back to Nairobi for your onward journey.

Featured Destinations
Amboseli
Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The snow capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro rising above a saucer of clouds dominates every aspect of Amboseli. Despite its small size and fragile ecosystem it supports a wide range of mammals and birds. The snows of Kilimanjaro, white and crystalline, form a majestic backdrop to one of Kenya's most spectacular displays of wildlife - lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, buffalo and hosts of plains' game, creating Kenya's most sought after photographer's paradise. The Park's best game runs are around swamps and there is a fine lookout on Observation Hill which offers views over the whole of the Park and beyond.

Lake Nakuru National Park Rift Valley
Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya's Rift Valley, located 100 mi/160 km northwest of Nairobi, is known for its flamingos, as well as its other birds (some 400 species have been documented). Hundreds of thousands of flamingos migrate among a handful of soda lakes in the area, including Lake Nakuru, so the actual number of birds varies at different times of year. But the sight of the massed flamingos is spectacular—when you gaze down on the lake from an overlook, it appears to be ringed in pink.
Other animals also inhabit the park. It's a rhino sanctuary, with both white and black rhinos—probably one of your best chances to see these endangered animals. It's also home to rare Rothschild giraffes. Keep an eye out for lions, too, or even leopards up in the arms of the tall yellow acacia trees.
Easy access from Nairobi makes this an excellent park for those on a quick trip to Kenya.
Maasai Mara
The Maasai Mara National Reserve (Masai Mara) is Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled. The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildllife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another. The first sight of this park is breathtaking. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendour and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Maasai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination.
Nairobi
Nairobi is Kenya's capital and one of Africa's most modern and fastest growing major cities. The original center retains Asian influence in its older buildings with glassy modern buildings. Visit City Market with local produce and handicrafts. Other attractions are: National Museum, displaying ethnographic, paleontological and ornithological exhibits; the Arboretum, with an excellent collection of East African flora; the University, known for its unique architecture; the excellent Kenya Railway Museum; and Nairobi's landmark, the extraordinary Kenyatta Conference Center, the country's most monumental building, visible from miles outside the city. There are casinos at Safari Park Hotel and Inter-Continental, and there's Sunday-afternoon horse-racing. Visit Karen Blixen Museum, where some action of the book and film Out of Africa took place. The beautiful forested Ngong Hills is a spiritual place for the Maasai and an excellent area for hiking and enjoying views of Nairobi and the Rift Valley. Nairobi National Park is a wildlife game reserve.
