Masai Mara

Today may start with a hot-air balloon safari, an optional activity, available on pre-arrangement and at an extra cost.

You’ll spend the day exploring the vast plains in search of its wildlife, a haven for the big cats. The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the best-known parks in the world and is a highlight of this Kenya wildlife tour. It has the highest concentration of wildlife per square kilometer of any other park in the region. You will have your picnic lunch and continue to venture through the plains, looking out for real close wildlife encounters. Tracing the various animals, you find yourself at the Mara River, which has crocodiles and hippos; this is the wildebeest crossing point from the neighboring Serengeti. The Mara plains comprise wildlife and the communities of the Maasai people.

Lake Nakuru National Park to Lake Naivasha

This day will start with an extensive game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This alkaline lake is host to millions of pink flamingos that cover the lake’s shorelines. The lake ecosystem is also a habitat to over 400 species of birds. This is one of the few places in Kenya where you can see both the white and black rhinos, as this park is also a rhino sanctuary.

Later, we will exit the park and drive to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus almost 13km across. The lake draws 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. The lake’s large hippo populations sleep the day out in the shallows. You will have an afternoon boat safari on Lake Naivasha, where you view exotic birdlife and hippos amid the serenity of this freshwater Rift Valley lake. Later, proceed for a guided walking safari at Crescent Island.
