7 nights / 8 days · Best for: photographers and general wildlife travelers who also want strong birding
This trip pairs Amboseli's elephant herds and Mt Kilimanjaro backdrops with Lake Nakuru's waterbirds and two nights in the Maasai Mara, based at Fig Tree Camp in the territory of the reserve's well-known resident leopard. It's built for travelers who want a genuine mix — strong photography opportunities and general wildlife alongside serious birding — rather than a birding-only circuit.
Airport pickup and transfer to your Nairobi accommodation to rest and adjust. Dinner and overnight at Ole Sereni Hotel.
An early start for the 4–5 hour drive to Amboseli National Park. After checking into the tented camp and lunch, an afternoon exploring the park for as many species as possible, with plenty of wildlife and views of Mt Kilimanjaro. Dinner and overnight at the tented camp.
A half-day in the park searching for anything missed the day before, with lunch on site. In the afternoon, return to Nairobi. Dinner and overnight at Ole Sereni Hotel.
An early departure for Lake Nakuru National Park in search of the lake's specialty species. Check into Lion Hill Lodge for lunch, then an afternoon exploring other areas of the park. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
An early game drive in search of shy forest birds, then a late breakfast before departing for the Maasai Mara, with a packed lunch en route. Arrival at Fig Tree Camp, known for its resident leopard, for a 2-night stay. Dinner and overnight at the camp.
A full day exploring the reserve for both wildlife numbers and birdlife, with lunch at an acacia in the open savannah. Dinner and overnight at the camp, with a traditional Maasai dance in the evening.
An early morning game drive for any missed species and a chance at a lion hunt. After breakfast, birding along the river with a bush lunch, then the return journey toward Nairobi — with a possible stop at a highland water pond for specialty waterbirds. Dinner and overnight at Ole Sereni Hotel, or direct airport drop-off.
Transfer to the airport for your onward flight (or, depending on flight timing, this may be combined with day 7).
