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 nearly 2 million flamingos in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep-pink band around the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.

It is 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.

Day 6
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we have a full day's drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and 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. These include 16 species of eagles, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
