Masai Mara National Reserve

This is a full day spent wildlife viewing across the rich tree-studded grassland and rolling hills of the famous savannah.

You will have a full-day game drive in Masai Mara savannah.

Your lunch today is picnic lunch boxes in the savannah under a lone flat-top acacia tree while watching the animals grazing. You'll continue with the wildlife viewing arriving at your lodge late in the evening after thoroughly exploring this massive grassland savannah measuring 1,500 sq km.

You have an option of booking a balloon ride today which takes off early in the morning. After landing, the crew helps you out of the basket and escorts you to a setting for a bush champagne breakfast which is a lifetime experience and worth the price. Later, you'll join your driver-guide and proceed with your full-day game drive.

Lake Nakuru National Park is among Kenya's finest national parks. The park is gorgeous all year round and boasts rocky escarpments, patches of yellow-barked acacia forest, and a waterfall. It is home to flamingos, black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, buffaloes, hippos, 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, and leopards frequent the same site.

After a leisurely morning breakfast, you will check out of your lodge, pack up, and drive to the nearby Hell's Gate National Park.

Later, you will proceed back to Nairobi. On arrival in Nairobi, you have the option to have lunch at the famous Carnivore restaurant. Afterward, you will be dropped off at your respective hotel or the airport, marking the end of your safari.
