Nairobi- Masai Mara National Park

Embark on a drive to Masai Mara National Reserve with a stop at the Great Rift Valley where you will take pictures of the beautiful Rift Valley escarpments before we continue with our drive to Masai Mara through Narok Town. The reserve 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. Masai Mara is part of the vast Serengeti plains and is famous for hosting the spectacular great seasonal Wildebeest migration and a home for the Big Five. We will arrive in time for lunch and have an afternoon game drive later on.

Masai Mara Game Reserve

After breakfast, we'll have a full day game drive with picnic lunch. Masai Mara is well known for its black-manned lions, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It's one of the few places where there’s an excellent chance to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
Have lunch by the Mara River migration point as you enjoy the beautiful Mara with the Hippos and the Zebras grazing nearby.

For bird enthusiasts, the park hosts over 500 bird species as the soda lake is a birding hotspot and supports a lot of birdlife. Lake Nakuru is now a Rhino Sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. But the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore. You'll arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight stay at the Sentrim Elementaita.
