Lake Nakuru / Masai Mara National Reserve

Enjoy an early morning break at the hotel, then load your luggage in the Jeep as we proceed for a game drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. The park is world-renowned for its masses of flamingoes, and all this happens on our open-roof Jeep. You'll almost certainly see rhinos (both black and white), lions (including rare tree-climbing lions), and endangered Rothschild's giraffes (which have very pale markings below their knees). Watch also for flamingo, leopard and plenty of birds, all set against a beautiful backdrop of acacia forest, lake and escarpment thereafter, check out of the park, then proceed with a drive to the Masai Mara (approximately 4 hours and 20 minutes). Pass through Narok, a small Maasai town well known for beautiful curios, with a stopover along the way for lunch. Continue the drive to the Masai Mara, arriving late in the evening for check-in to your rooms, then have dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drive

Arise to an early breakfast, a perfect energy boost for a long day ahead. A packed lunch will be served at the picnic site. We think you'll love the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the best places in Kenya to watch wildlife. You're almost guaranteed to see plenty of predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs and spotted hyenas. With so many impalas, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes and other prey species here, as well as over 500 bird species, you'll see plenty of safari action. There are elephants, giraffes and hippos everywhere, and everyone who visits falls in love with the Masai Mara's classic safari landscapes.

You will also stop by the Mara River, which is the center stage of the 8th Wonder of the World, the great wildebeest migration witnessed every year from July to August. All this is happening from our open rooftop tour vehicle for easy photography, en route to the camp or dinner, and for an overnight stay, with the option of joining a Maasai warrior at the fire.
