Masai Mara- Lake Naivasha National Park

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Naivasha. Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus. The lake and its surrounds are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya's prime agricultural regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow-barked Acacia Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with bird life which makes Naivasha a world-class birding destination. In addition, the lake's waters draw a great range of wildlife to its shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps, and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lakes' large hippo population sleeps the day out in the shallows. You can have an optional boat riding to explore the lake. Should you be interested, you can visit the Crescent Island for a walking safari.
