Nairobi-Lake Nakuru

Pickup from your Nairobi hotel at 0700 for a 3-hour drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, where we will spend the day game watching. In this small but scenic park, expect to see abundant wildlife, including flamingoes and rhinos (both black and white), lions, leopards, hyenas and an array of antelopes such as impalas, gazelles, waterbucks and dik-diks. The park also hosts a sizeable population of the Rothschild’s giraffe, a rare species indigenous to Western Kenya. The major highlight is the amazing population of flamingos, attracted by the abundant supply of green algae in the soda-rich Lake Nakuru.

Masai Mara

A full day exclusively devoted to game drives in the reserve, with time to explore more of Masai Mara’s scenery and invariably see the “The Big Five”: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. In addition, the Mara teems with other fascinating animal species: giraffes, zebras, hippos, baboons, wildebeests, warthogs, gazelles, crocodiles and numerous bird species.

Each year, the Masai Mara plays host to one of the most spectacular dramas anywhere in the wild: Between July to October, more than one million wildebeests and zebras make the northward journey from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara. The journey, part of their annual migrations, is not without dangers and hazards from predators, namely, crossing the crocodile-infested waters of the Mara River.
