Tsavo West National Park
Tsavo West National Park
After breakfast, we will go on a full day game drive with a packed lunch in hand. Other interesting places to visit here include the Roaring Rocks, which get their name from the wind that hurtles through them. You can take in wonderful views of Tsavo from the top of a 98m rock face; similar views can be experienced from the poacher's lookout. The volcanic Chaimu Crater (which is less than 200-years-old and composed of black coke) is worth visiting and can be climbed if you’re interested. The area is a good place to look out for klipspringer, a small antelope that is as agile as its Swahili name “mbuzi mawe” (mountain goat). In the southwest corner of Tsavo West is Lake Jipe, which has the Kenyan-Tanzanian border running through it. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Amboseli National Park - Lake Naivasha
Today you’ll go on an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha, which is the highest and most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. At 1910m (6200ft), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (which ancient Egyptians once used to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch and herons hide in it while searching for food. Naivasha is another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded here). It is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, waterski, and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them (due to the altitude), but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country's fledgling wine industry. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we’ll go on a full day game drive with a packed lunch in hand. The Mara is well known for its black-maned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is 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 they seek shelter from the hot sun under vehicles, and several might even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. Birth enthusiasts will love to hear that almost 500 species have been recorded in the reserve. These include 16 eagle species, many hawks and falcons, six vulture species, eight stork species, four bustard species (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and nine sunbird species. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.

Known all over the world for its flamingos and its alkaline, Lake Nakuru is recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. It is now also a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. It is the flamingos, of course, that have always been the main attraction. There may be almost two million flamingoes in residence at any given time, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore. You’ll arrive in time for lunch then go on an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.
