Day 1

Nairobi-Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi-Masai Mara National Reserve

You will depart from the airport and drive to the Masai Mara. You’ll make a stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, which shows a glimpse of the low-lying stretch of land. The Great Rift Valley is a continuous geographic trench, more than 6,000 kilometers in length, which runs from Syria in Southwest Asia to Central Mozambique in South East Africa.
The viewpoint sets you right in the middle of vendors selling their goods, and you can get souvenirs as well as your awesome photos of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Later, you'll continue with your drive to the Masai Mara through Narok Town, arriving in time for dinner. You will have an introductory game drive through the park in preparation for the full-day game drive the next day. Your dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 2

Masai Mara National Reserve Experience

Masai Mara National Reserve Experience

After breakfast, you'll have a full day dame drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under a vehicle, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.

For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these are 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Day 3

Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru National Park

Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru National Park

An early morning pick up, then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the rift valley's most famous lake, Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times, there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore. You'll arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.
