Reception at Nairobi International Airport. Transfer to Osoita Lodge near Nairobi, already on the start route of the first stage. Briefing and presentation of motorbikes for the trek starting the next day, dinner and overnight at the Lodge.
Breakfast and departure on a track following the plain of Athi along the spectacular depression of the Grand Rift. Arrival at the small town of Kajiado for supplies, picnic then pretty laterite track crisscrossing the hills dotted with acacias and termite mounds. Picnic stop on the track. Arrival by the bed of a seasonal river of sand at Selenkay Camp located in the heart of the Massai lands of Amboseli. Selenkayis a small private canvas camp located outside any tourist area and managed entirely by the local Massai community which thus benefits directly from tourism income: the camp provides water supply, trains and employs the Massai who do not have had the chance to follow a school education. The camp has a few comfortable and very well appointed spacious tents; solar lighting, beds, mosquito net and bathroom. Selenkay Campbathes in an atmosphere of serenity and freshness in the midst of a semi-arid wooded savannah. Walk at the end of the afternoon on foot guided by the Massai in the surrounding savannah in the footsteps of animals, to discover the medicinal flora, traditional dwellings … Return to sunset for dinner and discuss around a Massai culture campfire with Leonard the founder of the camp. Night in the heart of the African bush.
Departure after breakfast, head for Kilimanjaro crossing a wooded savannah on a new track of the Massai pastors leading to the water points of Amboseli. The imposing Kilimanjaro massif whose summit (5,896 m) seems to be hanging on the clouds is outlined at the bottom of the track. There are more and more animals on the track leading to Amboseli. Arrival for lunch and installation at Kibo Safari Camp, a hut lodge opposite Kilimanjaro. Departure in 4 × 4 for an afternoon visit to the Amboseli park stretching over a little less than 400 km² at the foot of Kilimanjaro in the form of immense marshy plains where large herds of wildebeest, buffaloes gather antelopes and elephants. The animals are visible from afar because the vegetation is considerably reduced. In the evening, the swamps that border the south of the reserve become the scene of wild life scenes. Many predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas follow the herds of herbivores going to hydrate … Search for animals until sunset. Return to the Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Departure after breakfast to Jipe Lake on a trail along the Tsavo Park. Picnic lunch en route. Arrival for settling down at the straw huts of Jipe Lake Park, on the very shores of the lake. Lake Jipe is a wild and little visited place stretching all the way to Tanzania with the Pare Mountains in the background. The lake abounds in birds of all kinds and colors and herds of elephants are used to come and drink a few dozen meters from the straw huts. A 4×4 ride in the park to look for the animals until sunset. Return to the bungalows for a dinner near a campfire. Night in the park by the lake.
