A boat ride on the lake is optional, allowing you to get up close to hippos lounging in the water and observe birds like fish eagles and pelicans.

Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru Experience

The day can start with an early morning experience of L. Naivasha, a walk on the shore which is optional, birds spotting, and animals spotting before proceeding to L. Nakuru. The lake itself is a soda lake, surrounded by Nakuru National Park, which is a sanctuary for both black and white rhinos. Visitors can enjoy game drives through the park, spotting diverse wildlife like giraffes, zebras, lions, and leopards. The park’s terrain is a mix of forest, grassland, and escarpment, offering panoramic views of the lake below. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers, and a visit to the Baboon Cliff viewpoint provides sweeping views of the area.

Maasai Mara

After a night in Nakurru, the safari proceeds to Maasai Mara. The journey is scenic, with random wildlife spotting, roasted meat, and great interaction with the Kenyan communities and their rich culture. This will be coupled with an afternoon game drive in the Mara. Known for its vast open savannah and abundance of wildlife, Maasai Mara is the best place to witness the Great Migration (between July and October), when millions of wildebeest and zebras travel through the reserve, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The "Big Five" (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros) are commonly spotted, along with hyenas, cheetahs, and wildebeests. A safari here is an opportunity to witness both the drama of predator-prey interactions and the beauty of Africa’s wildlife in their natural habitat. Maasai Mara also offers a rich cultural experience, where you can visit a Maasai village to learn about the local people’s traditions.
