Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

Enjoy breakfast and head out for an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is home to hundreds of black and white rhinos and a variety of other wildlife. After the game drive, we will return to the hotel or lodge.

Later, we will drive to the Masai Mara. Between July and October, the Great Rift Valley becomes busy with millions of zebras and wildebeest making the perilous crossing across the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory. Following them are a multitude of predators. We will arrive in time for lunch, followed by some relaxation.

At 5:00pm, Masai morans (warriors) will pick you up from your hotel and guide you through a walking safari in the dense Masai Mara. After the safari, you will go on a cultural tour to visit some of the old ethnic groups that still exist. Finally, we will return to the lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
