Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
Two full days of game drives with packed lunches provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife, and is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Some cheetahs are so accustomed to vehicles that they seek shade beneath them during the heat of the day, while others may even climb onto the roof for a better view of potential prey.
For bird enthusiasts, nearly 500 species have been recorded, including 16 species of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four species of bustards—including the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird—and nine species of sunbirds.

An early morning drive takes you to Lake Naivasha, the highest and one of the most beautiful lakes in the Rift Valley. At 1,910 metres (6,200 feet), the freshwater lake is fringed with dense papyrus reeds, once used by ancient Egyptians to make paper. Kingfishers perch on the reeds while herons hide within them as they search for food. Lake Naivasha is a renowned birdwatching destination, with over 400 recorded species, and is also a popular weekend getaway for Nairobi residents who come for sailing, water skiing, and fishing. There are no crocodiles due to the cool waters at high altitude, but hippos are present in the lake. Along the shoreline, vineyards contribute to Kenya’s emerging wine industry.
