Day 5  and 6 Amboseli

Today Travel to Amboseli via Tsavo On arrival you will be met by your Tortilis guide who will transfer you to the camp for your two night stay.

Tortilis Camp is a luxury-tented camp on the edge of Amboseli National Park and offers unparalleled views of Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's highest peak which is located just across the border in Tanzania. Tortilis is named after the local Acacia tortilis (Umbrella tree) and the camp is managed as a conservation project with a simple goal: to take a sensitive approach to tourism.

The tented accommodation is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. Each tent has an en suite bathroom and a private verandah that is an ideal place to enjoy "time out" in the middle of the day. Alternatively, relax around the small swimming pool, which is set in a pretty, natural garden.

The open-plan thatched bar, dining room and lounge is located on a hill and affords magnificent views across the plains to snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. Tortilis is renowned for delicious home-style cuisine. Fresh herbs and vegetables are grown in camp and homemade pasta, a house specialty, is carefully prepared by the chef who was trained by the owner's Italian mother. The camp also has a small gift shop.

Activities include game viewing in open safari vehicles, sundowners atop a high hill, visits to the local Masai Manyatta and guided walking safaris.

Amboseli is justly famous for its big game including buffalo, elephant, lion, giraffe, hyena, cheetah and a variety of smaller carnivores and antelope species; and for its picturesque scenery, which benefits from the beautiful backdrop of snow covered Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain at 5,894m (19,340 ft).

The park is largely arid lands of acacia and tall savannah grasses and in such an exposed landscape the animals are easy to observe. In places, subterranean springs have transformed the plain into marshland. Constantly changing, the springs have a determining influence on life in the park. In recent times infiltrated by salt water, they are modifying the ecosystem, causing the loss of certain plant species. The continual changes can, however, have a beneficial effect as the general rise of the water table now attracts increasing numbers of pink flamingos and pelicans.

This region is home to the nomadic Masai people and you will see their circular manyattas villages), surrounded by thorny scrub fences, scattered across the plains

Tortilis Camp BLD 2 NIGHTS

Day 07  to 08- Masai Mara, Traditional tented camp

The early morning game drive then Depart back to Nairobi, Lunch in Carnivor then Tranfer to Wilson Airport for flight  across the Great Rift Valley, to the Masai Mara where you will spend 2 nights at Cheli & Peacock's seasonal, tradtional tented camp.

This Mara Camp is idyllic! It is located on Koyiaki Group Ranch adjoining the world famous Masai Mara, ensuring fabulous game viewing in an area where walking and night safaris are permitted. In order to preserve this special area the camp is seasonal and is completely dismantled for three months of the year.

Shaded by indigenous trees the camp looks out on an endless vista of plains game and panoramic views. The six traditional safari tents are very spacious with en-suite bucket showers (filled on request with steaming hot water), washroom, safari toilet, dressing area and a verandah - the ideal place for reading, diary writing or just watching the passing parade. The tents are comfortably furnished, evoking the atmosphere of the traditional safari camps of last century. Meals are served in the mess or in the shade of the trees. After dinner nothing rivals sitting around the campfire enjoying the sounds of the African night.

This is truly a safari camp "Out of Africa" and you are looked after by attentive staff that provide you with sumptuous meals and your favourite "sundowner" cocktail. Every comfort is assured in a safari style that is reminiscent of a by-gone era.

The Mara, as the Kenyans call it, is undoubtedly Kenya's best known and contains great concentrations of wildlife. Covering an area in excess of 1,800 sq km (almost 700 sq miles) it was established in 1961 and adjoins the Serengeti in Tanzania forming the northern end of the great migration ecosystem. This is the traditional land of the Masai people, nomadic herders who choose a traditional lifestyle and who are permitted to graze their cattle in the area.

The park's habitats include the forests along the banks of the Mara and Talek Rivers, acacia forests and open savannah. These various habitats are home to a great variety of game including lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest (gnu), giraffe, buffalo, jackal, topi, gazelles, impala and elephant. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles are plentiful in the rivers and the bird life is also abundant. No less than 53 different species of birds of prey alone have been recorded.

From June through October you may see the annual migration as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra move through the area in search of fresh grass. Driven on, by those behind, the first animals ford the Mara River. This perilous crossing undertaken by hordes of beasts is truly dramatic - many of them drown, others are bogged down in the mud
