Spend your first day exploring the majestic Maasai Mara and get mesmerized by the landscape and the wildlife. There are so many things that will draw your attention. From alluring mammals to giant herds, countless birds to al golden savannah, things to admire at Maasai Mara are many and you will be needing a full day to explore and delve deep into the park. Do not miss the incredible boisterous young males fight for mating rights and bull elephants drinking water in a group.

Day 2: A visit to the magical Lake Nakuru

See the pink-colored Lake Nakuru and get mesmerized by its beauty. Though the actual color of the water is not pink it look like so because of the countless flamingos who stay close to the lake. If this is not enough to make you go crazy, the imperious clifftops would definitely do that. Have your breakfast in the early morning as you are going to get exhausted while exploring the beautiful Lake Nakuru? Talking more about the lake, it is far more than a bird lover's paradise. The big cats, large antelope herds, the forest, and safari ride is sure to click your soul and make you feel wow amazing!

Day 3: Elephants and Kilimanjaro at Amboseli National Park

The flat savannah looks more beautiful by a backdrop of Africa's highest mountain, Uhuru peak. Do you know what makes it even more beautiful? The elephants roam across this land all day. Their distinct shape and wonderful contrast are sure to add a wow factor in your pictures. So, the moment you enter the Amboseli National Park, start wandering your eyes and look for the giant and the incredible Amboseli elephants to get a picture clicked.

Day 4: The big five and quarreling hippos in the dusty landscapes of Tsavo West

While stepping into east towards Mombassa, you will enter into the areas of high grassland which is the best place to spot the predators and big cats. While elephants and giraffe are too common to be spotted, crocodiles and hippos may not. So, take time to explore the Tsavo West National Park to spot the hippos and the dusty landscape to its fullest. If planning to stay till late afternoon, you may spot crocodiles sunbathing beside the shore, often asleep with wide-open jaws and ferocious-looking teeth. This is how wildlife tends to offer. You cannot see every species at one time of the day. Some prefer to come out in the light and some prefer to feel the moonlight. To admire all of them, you will have to give your complete day to them.

These are some of the places where you can visit to explore Kenya. When on a Kenya safari, do listen to your guide carefully as roaming in the world of hippos and crocodiles, it’s better to be quiet and obedient because the guide can only guide you for safety but he may not save you from those wild animals who are actually carnivorous. So, follow the instructions and enjoy the safari.
