Masai Mara National Reserve
After a morning breakfast at 6:30 am, you will leave for a full-day game drive with packed lunch. The search for great wild animals continues. On the plains are large herds of herbivores grazing with cheetahs and leopards hiding in their locations. Reliable rains and plentiful vegetation underpin this extraordinary ecosystem and the millions of herbivores it supports; wildebeests, zebras, impalas, and elephants. At Masai Mara, you will have an opportunity to drive down to the Mara River, the site of the Great Migration when in season in July through October.
For more experience at an extra cost, you will have the alternative of visiting the nearby Maasai community to witness their lifestyle and their traditional culture. Another alternative is a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah and witness the herds of wildlife emerging into the day. Your driver/guide can arrange either of these optional excursions.

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 paid for on the ground at Lake Naivasha.
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 waters of the lake 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. Your dinner and an overnight stay will be at your camp.
