Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Embarking on an early morning journey towards Masai Mara National Reserve, you'll find yourself entering one of the last bastions where wildlife thrives relatively undisturbed. Here, amidst the expansive plains and dense forests of Africa, the natural order remains largely untouched. Positioned at the northern edge of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara plays host to the breathtaking annual migration of countless wildebeest, zebras, and their accompanying predators.
Arrive just in time for a satisfying lunch before setting out on an afternoon game drive to witness nature's grandeur in action.

Day 2-3
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
Two full days in exhilarating game drives, each accompanied by a packed lunch to sustain your exploration. Masai Mara National Reserve is renowned for its majestic black-manned lions, alongside a wealth of resident wildlife. It stands as one of the rare locales where encountering the big five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—during a single morning's outing is entirely feasible.
Some cheetahs within the reserve are so accustomed to humans that they seek shade beneath vehicles. A few even venture atop vehicles for a superior vantage point in their hunt for prey. For avid birdwatchers, the reserve is a paradise, boasting nearly 500 recorded species. Among these avian treasures are 16 varieties of eagles, along with an array of hawks, falcons, vultures, storks, and bustards—including the remarkable Kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird on Earth. Additionally, nine species of sunbirds grace the skies, adding to the avian spectacle that awaits.

Lake Nakuru National Park
Begin your day with an early morning pickup, setting off on a journey to Lake Nakuru National Park.
Famed worldwide for its mesmerizing flamingo populations, this alkaline lake stands as a natural marvel. While it serves as a sanctuary for over 40 black rhinos and more than 60 white rhinos, it's the flamingoes that steal the spotlight. At times, nearly 2 million of these graceful birds grace its shores, painting a breathtakingly vibrant pink hue around the lake's perimeter.
Upon arrival, indulge in a satisfying lunch before embarking on an afternoon game drive, immersing yourself in the wonders of this unique ecosystem.

Day 5
Lake Bogoria National Reserve
Lake Bogoria National Reserve
Start the day driving to Lake Bogoria, a captivating destination teeming with wildlife. While the abundance of wildlife is notable, many creatures prefer to keep a low profile, except for the flamingos congregating around the hot springs.
Among the diverse species that call this area home are buffalo, hyena, klipspringer, impala, dik-dik, zebra, warthog, and Grant's gazelle. However, the elusive greater kudu may make an appearance almost anywhere, adding to the thrill of the adventure.
The flamingos, for some curious reason – possibly chemical – tend to flock in their greatest numbers to the shallows on the western shore, where the hot springs flow into the lake (they appear immune to the heat). The Bogoria fish eagles have made a gruesome adjustment to their fierce, fishless environment: they prey on flamingos.
