Kenya’s Iconic Safari Experience: 5 Days in Amboseli & Maasai Mara

Our staff will pick you up from the hotel after breakfast and transfer your party to Wilson Airport to catch a connecting flight to the Amboseli. Upon a late morning arrival in Amboseli you will be greeted at the airstrip by your Seven By Far guide where you will transfer to a 4×4 to experience your first game drive as you proceed to Tortilis Camp, your accommodations for the next (2) nights.

Once there, you will check in, have a quick lunch, and then head out for an afternoon game drive through Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most popular National Parks located at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. The snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro rising above the clouds is guaranteed to dominate every aspect of your Amboseli experience. It is here where you will most likely begin snapping many of the keepsake pictures you will cherish for a lifetime.

In addition to being situated on lush lands with a majestic backdrop of Africa’s snow-capped Kilimanjaro, Tortilis Camp offers 5-star accommodations for you to enjoy your stay to the fullest.

​Main destination: Amboseli National Park

• Accommodation: Tortilis Camp
• Meals & drinks: All meals included. Alcoholic drinks are not included.

Your Safari experience continues the next day after breakfast and lunch with morning and late afternoon game drives into the park that’s most famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. In addition, the park offers one of the best wildlife-viewing experiences in the world to see African wildlife because the vegetation is sparse due to the region’s long, dry months. The park’s protected area is home to African bush elephant, Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, hippo, alligator, Masai giraffe, Grant’s zebra, blue wildebeest, and over 400 species of birds.

In addition to your game drives, if you wish, you will have the opportunity to visit a Maasai Tribe and their village and experience a way of life guided by age-old customs and a semi-nomadic lifestyle. There will be an additional fee that will be paid to the Tribe in order to enter the village.

Once back at the lodge, enjoy your favorite beverage looking out over a watering hole as animals take their turns visiting the pond. The massive Kilimanjaro is the backdrop.

Overnight stay at Tortilis Camp

After breakfast your Safari Guide will pick you up and transport your party to the airstrip in Amboseli. Upon arrival, you will board an intra-air flight for short ride to the world-famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Depending on your choice of accommodations, you will arrive at either the 4.5-star Mara Serena Lodge or the world class 5-star Sand River Camp in time for lunch. Afterwards, you will have time to relax, work out, take a quick swim, or get pampered at the SPA (Mara Serena Lodge) or enjoy the natural surroundings of the Sand River Camp with a drink in hand overlooking across the river, the iconic Serengeti..

Later, your party will enjoy an afternoon game drive in the reserve where more memorable adventures await you. It is here, with the help of your Seven By Far Safari guide, that you will have a great chance to find all the “Big Five” animals: lion, leopard, elephant, cape buffalo, and rhinoceros. In addition, you will be able to find what is called the world’s most dangerous animal, the hippo, as well as the African crocodile in large groups along the river areas.

After your afternoon drive, it will be time to head back to the lodge or camp in time for a world class dinner and time to unwind and relax at perhaps a bonfire to share with others your days experience.​
