Depart Nairobi at 0800hrs and drive north, descending the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. Stop briefly at the viewpoint for photos of this amazing natural phenomenon. Continue through the Great Rift Valley, with its dramatic landscapes and plains inhabited by Maasai pastoralists, crossing Kenya’s "bread basket" covered with fields of wheat and barley. Make a brief stop at Narok town for refueling before climbing the western wall and entering Hemingway’s "Serengeti Plains." We’ll arrive at the camp or lodge in time for lunch.
At 1600hrs, head out for an evening game drive in search of black-maned Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Cheetahs, Buffalos, and other plains game. Rhino and leopard sightings cannot be guaranteed, as they are rare, shy, and elusive. Return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay on a full-board basis.
