subject: Choose A 7-night Cheetah Safari For Great Value [print this page] When seeking the best value for your money, choosing a 7-night Cheetah Safari will provide you with the best Kenya has to offer in sightseeing, sounds and experience. Youll enjoy mountain views and a hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara National Reserve during your 7-night adventure.
Mountaintop Beginnings
Once arriving in Nairobi after an overnight flight from London, you can freshen up at Somak Safari Lounge before they had to the Aberdares National Park for an overnight stay at the Outspan Hotel. You'll arrive in time for lunch and be able to stroll off the calories during an afternoon nature walk led by a local resident naturalist. Both lunch and dinner are included.
Head North of the Equator
Days two and three of your 7-night Cheetah Safari adventure takes you north of the equator to the Ashnil Samburu Camp located in the Buffalo Springs game reserve. There you will have unequal access to all the game viewing you could possibly want. This area is annually visited by large herds of elephants that are attracted by the area water. The elephants use their incredibly powerful tusks during dry seasons to dig deep into the arid river beds looking for precious water. The area's waterholes are the focal point attracting game. This is one of the best regions in Kenya for attracting several exotic species like the reticulated giraffe and Grevys zebra.
Your accommodations at the camp include 24 circular luxury tents that are carefully located on lush ground and within easy walking distance to the camp pool offering a refreshing splash down. You can enjoy guided wildlife walks during the day while taking advantage of the relaxation massage tent at night. Enjoy either morning or late afternoon drives through the open savanna that is traversed in several areas by the Ewaso Nyiro River. You'll get an opportunity to watch hippos and crocodiles splash about in the water while also viewing a host of other animals drinking by the river's edge.
Up The Slopes Of Mount Kenya
Your next activity in your African Safari adventure will be a drive up the slopes of Mount Kenya arriving in time for a scrumptious lunch that has been prepared for you at the Mountain Lodge. You can spend the afternoon viewing passing game from treetop height observation decks or participate in a nature walk led by a local guide. Enjoy an overnight stay at the Serena Mountain Lodge.
Lakeside Relaxation
After waking up and having breakfast, you will travel down into the Great Rift Valley arriving in time at Lake Nakuru for lunch. After dining on a delectable menu, head out for an afternoon drive to the game preserve. Your final destination for this day will be the Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge where you will take supper and spend a restful night of well-deserved sleep.
Flying Above It All
Possibly the highlight of your 7-night Cheetah Safari will be a hot air balloon ride on your second day at the Ashnil Mara Camp during your stay in the Masai Mara National Reserve. When you arrive on the first day, you will participate in a lengthy game drive watching the migrating herds of exotic animals.
