Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

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 return to the lodge for lunch. Thereafter, you'll drive through the Rift Valley floor to Masai Mara National Reserve. On arrival, you will be picked up by the Masai warriors and escorted to a nearby Maasai Village for a cultural experience, where you can learn more about the community that has co-existed with the Mara wildlife for centuries.

Masai Mara National Reserve

You will spend a full day exploring the rich tree-studded grassland and rolling hills of the famous savannah on a wildlife-viewing tour. 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 other 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 wildlife 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, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and worth the price. Later, you can join your driver guide at a location and proceed with your full-day game drive.
