Masai Mara National Reserve
Have breakfast at the camp and proceed for a morning game drive in the reserve—lunch boxes will be ready. Embark on an afternoon game drive in the reserve until sunset. You can visit a Maasai village in the afternoon and pay on the ground. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Mara Maisha Camp.
Masai Mara National Reserve offers a unique variety of animals. This hilly region is both humid and fertile as the rivers Mara and Talek carry water the whole year round. These rivers are full of crocodiles and hippos, with their banks covered in thick forest, gradually making way for bush and grassland. The abundance of water and food is why the Masai Mara hosts so many animals. The Masai Mara is, in fact, a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park and has the most significant population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. A theatrical spectacle, the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras, takes place between July and November.

Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Naivasha. On arrival, you will check into the hotel and spend the afternoon at your leisure with a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. Your dinner and overnight stay are at Sawela Lodge.
Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus. The lake and its surrounds are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya's prime agricultural regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow-barked Acacia xanthophyll, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with birdlife, and Naivasha is known as a world-class birding destination. The lake's waters draw a great range of game to these shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalos wallow in the swamps, and colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lakes' large hippo population sleep the day out in the shallows.
