After breakfast you will be driven to Lake Naivasha. It is a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus. The lake and its environs are rich in natural beauty 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 Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with bird life which makes Naivasha a world-class birding destination. In addition, the lakes waters draw a great range of wildlife to its shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalos wallow in the swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lakes large hippo population sleeps the day out in the shallows. An optional boat ride at the lake can be arranged at an extra cost. You will spend your night at the resort.

Full day at Maasai Mara
Full day at Maasai Mara
You will be taken on two game drives today, in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals as they are most active. To get some of the best game viewing of the day, an early start is needed to beat the heat of the sun. This is a bush experience that will surely create lifetime memories. To bring more texture to your experience at the Mara, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. Experience a visit to the local Maasai people in their nearby village. Meet these indigenous people and see up close their ancient lifestyle and culture. Take 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. Your dinner and overnight stay is at the lodge.
