Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, you will proceed to check-out for morning game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park.

It’s one of the best places in Kenya to see rhinos in the wild – there are roughly 100-150 individuals in total, of which 80 percent are white rhinos and 20 percent black. The park also has a strong reputation for leopard sightings, although these creatures are notoriously difficult to spot owing to nocturnal hunting habits and camouflaged fur.

Lions, cheetahs, hippos, buffalos, hyenas, giraffes and zebras are among the 50 or more mammal species living in the park. You can expect to see several types of large python, which are especially prevalent in woodland areas. Also keep an eye out for ostriches, African fish eagles, woolly-necked storks & dusky night jars, plus an array of other bird species.
