Day 2
Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park
Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park
After breakfast at the After 40 Hotel, the driver will pick you up and drive you to Nakuru for the game drive. Due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels, the flamingo numbers have been reducing, but the park itself remains stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, and wooded hills, and euphorbia trees dot the lake. The few flamingos are accompanied by other birdlife: pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks, herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy and full of color. However, that’s only the beginning of what this special park offers because the wildlife viewing here is easy and accessible.
Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. After lunch, you will continue with the game drive until evening, when you will be transferred to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Lake Nakuru to Lake Bogoria National Reserve
After breakfast at the Buraha Hotel, the driver will pick you up and transfer you to Lake Bogoria National Reserve, which has many hot springs. You will visit all the attractions. Lying 1,000 to 1,600m above sea level in the Rift Valley, it is a beautiful place with a pink cloud of flamingoes and geysers bubbling with the most spectacular hot water volcanic springs. It covers 107 sq km, with 34 sq km covered by water.
The reserve is dominated by thorny acacia bushland, and the open shores of the lake are dominated by grasslands. There is also the fascinating phenomenon of the hot springs. The lake has around 200 hot springs in total, but there are some large ones on one side of the lake. By the time it spurts off the ground, the water has reached over 94 degrees after circulating at great depth in the rock fractures. After all the activities, you will return to the hotel near Lake Bogoria for dinner and overnight.

Lake Bogoria to Lake Naivasha National Reserve
Lake Bogoria to Lake Naivasha National Reserve
After breakfast at your hotel, the driver will pick you up and visit the lake to enjoy the various attractions inside the Naivasha National Park. The most popular attraction at Lake Naivasha is undoubtedly the chance to take a guided boat safari. Dead trees reach up out of the cool blue water like grasping hands as a huge assortment of birdlife moves about; everything from pelicans to cranes to smaller, more brightly coloured birds are on display. The water is home to wallowing hippos. Along the shores, you will spot Cape buffalo and other herbivores.
You can also go on a visit to the Crescent Island sanctuary, which offers a rare chance to literally walk with the animals. The island is not home to any predators, so you can safely trade the safari car for your own two feet as you walk alongside zebras, giraffes and wildebeests. In the evening, you will return to the hotel near Lake Naivasha for dinner and overnight.

Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
Lake Naivasha to Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast at your hotel, the driver will pick you up, visit the lake, and enjoy the incredible reserve. The Masai Mara is a favorite safari destination for seasonal safari travelers. Writers, documentary makers, and researchers will admit Masai Mara is their favorite. The combination of its big skies, rolling open savannahs, the romance of films like “Out of Africa", the annual wildebeest migration, the density of game, variety of birds, the chance of a hot-air balloon ride, and interaction with the tall red-robed Maasai people, attracts people to the Mara all the time.
In the evening, you will return to the hotel inside Masai Mara for dinner and overnight.

Full-day game drive in Masai Mara
After breakfast, you will have a full-day game drive in Masai Mara to experience the ecosystem. It hosts over 95 animal species, including large herds of elephants and buffaloes meandering the plains, the hippo pools in the brown Mara River, Maasai giraffes, topis, Grant's and Thompson’s gazelles, zebras, plenty of Nile crocodiles, blue- and red-tailed monkeys and tree hyraxes. An abundance of herbivores makes it an ideal hunting ground for predators - and, therefore, a comfy home for Kenya's famous big cats. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and jackals can be seen easily. Then, in the evening, you will return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
