Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru National Park

Early morning pick up and drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the equator. South of Bogoria lies the Rift Valley's most famous lake, Lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it is alkaline and recognized as one of the world's natural wonders. Lake Nakuru is not just a rhino sanctuary but a testament to the commitment to conservation, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. The flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingoes in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

Early in the morning, the drive to Masai Mara National Reserve starts. The Masai Mara holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch and then have an afternoon game drive.
Enjoy a relaxing dinner and overnight stay at Mara Chui Resort. We offer the possibility to upgrade to more luxurious accommodation (at an extra cost) or downgrade to more economical options (with a price reduction).

Explore Masai Mara

Rise early for a hot air balloon ride, and then, after breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion and abundant resident wildlife, and it is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these, 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustard (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
