Experience the best wildlife viewing East Africa has to offer, with your choice of two iconic safari destinations. Continue to Nairobi, where a privately chartered flight takes you to your pre-selected safari destination — either the Maasai Mara Game Reserve or Amboseli National Park — for unforgettable wildlife viewing. The sprawling Maasai Mara is a place of rolling grasslands, winding rivers and tree-dotted savannas where large game herds huddle and graze under the watchful eye of lions, cheetahs and leopards. With such a varied topography, wildlife is correspondingly diverse, with a high concentration of predators and prey that brings excitement to every game drive. Amboseli National Park is both open and intimate, with flat plains stretching to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, its immensity dominating the far horizon. Elephants are the marquee attraction here, whether observed from a few yards away or as tiny specks against Kilimanjaro, along with great herds of giraffes and zebras, closely observed by resident lions and cheetahs. Whichever destination you choose, explore on game drives and even embark on a sunrise hot air balloon safari followed by a champagne breakfast served in the bush. Visiting a Maasai village, meet the nomadic herders who have acted as stewards of this land for hundreds of years, and stop at a local school for a glimpse of how A&K Philanthropy is working to improve lives. Between activities, enjoy time at your luxurious lodge, taking in the stillness and beauty of your surroundings. Your last evening includes an informal talk from a wildlife conservation expert.
