Samburu

You'll have a full day game drive exploring the park in search of its rarer inhabitants as well as the likes of leopards, lions, hyenas, cheetahs, antelopes, and more. While Samburu is smaller than other Kenyan parks and reserves, its diverse wildlife tends to cluster closer together near the life-giving Ewaso Ny'iro River. This makes it an ideal place to set up camp and do some game-viewing.

Alternatively, you can take breakfast and head to the reserve for a half-day game drive. Return for lunch and later have an evening game drive.

Dinner and your overnight stay are at the camp/lodge.

Maasai Mara

You'll depart from Lake Nakuru after breakfast to Masai Mara. Part of the vast Serengeti plains, the Masai Mara plays host to a chapter of the famous wildebeest migration each year as 1.7 million wildebeests and more than 500,000 zebras and antelopes cross the swollen Mara River in hopes of finding safety on the Masai Mara's sweeping plains. Even when the wildebeest migration is not occurring, you'll still have the chance to see the entire Big Five as well as Kenya's largest variety of animal life. After lunch at your camp, you'll head out for an afternoon and sunset game drive in search of big cats, elephants, giraffes, and more.

Later, we will head back to the camp/lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
