Nairobi to Lake Nakuru via Hellsgate National park

Our company representative will pick you up from the airport or your accommodation in Nairobi for a scenic drive west to Lake Nakuru National Park. During our journey, we will stop at the spectacular Great Rift Valley viewpoint for a rest and to take photographs of the contrasting landscape. After that, we will head to a restaurant located by Lake Naivasha for lunch.

Following lunch, you will embark on a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, followed by a walking safari in the animal sanctuary. Here, you will encounter animals like giraffes and zebras up close, as they are less wary of humans. Then, we will proceed to your lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving in time for sunset for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note- The accommodations can be upgraded at an extra cost.

Day 2

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

After having breakfast, you will begin your first early-morning game drive. Despite the early start, morning game drives are always worth it as you can spot animals when they are most active. Lake Nakuru is home to flamingos, black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and the endangered Rothschild's giraffes. The southern end of the lake is the best place to see wildlife. The forested area below the Rhinos Cliff is a favorite lion-spotting point where lionesses love to sleep in the trees.

After the game drive, you will exit the park and drive through the Rift Valley floor to Masai Mara National Reserve. You will stop for lunch on the way to Narok town and then proceed to Masai Mara. On arrival, you will be picked up by the Masai warriors and escorted to a Maasai Village for a cultural experience, where you can learn more about the community that has co-existed with the Mara wildlife for centuries.

Note- Your accommodations can be upgraded at an extra cost.

Day 3

Masai Mara

Masai Mara

On a game-viewing tour, you will spend a full day exploring the rich tree-studded grassland and rolling hills of the famous Savanna. The Mara is well-known for its vast herds of plains game animals, such as leopards, cheetahs, lions, and other herbivores. It is home to virtually every type of wildlife found in Kenya.

You will have a picnic lunch under a flat-top acacia tree in the savannah while watching the animals grazing. After that, you will continue with the game-viewing en route to your camp, arriving late in the afternoon after thoroughly exploring this massive grassland savannah that measures 1,500 sq.

You can also book a balloon ride early in the morning, which is an optional activity. After landing, the crew will assist you out of the basket and escort you to a lovely setting for a bush breakfast, a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth the price. Later, you can join your driver guide at a location and proceed with your full-day game drive.

Note- upgrade your accommodations.
