Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

We will meet you in the morning at your city hotel or airport then drive to Masai Mara National Reserve through the great rift valley. You will have occasional stops along the way to admire the scenery of the land. The Mara holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha

Have another morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National park. Return to your lodge for breakfast and check out.
Depart in the mid-morning to Lake Naivasha which is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lake shore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledging wine industry. Arrive in the afternoon for check in then boat trip on the Lake to see Hippos and other animals.
