Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

You will be picked up from your hotel or the airport for a departure to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve with a stopover at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, then stop for lunch in Narok. Mara's tawny, wildlife-stuffed savannahs are familiar to anyone who has watched nature documentaries. Reliable rains and plentiful vegetation underpin this extraordinary ecosystem and the millions of herbivores it supports.

Wildebeests, zebras, impalas, elephants, Maasai giraffes and several species of gazelles all call the Mara home. This vast concentration of game accounts for high predator numbers, including cheetahs and leopards and a high lion density. You will search for the Big Five with game drives across the grassy plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve before returning to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Exploration of Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll have an early breakfast followed by a morning game drive for an opportunity to visit the scenic hippo pool and the Mara River, whose winding banks are the lifeline of the park as it provides regular water supply to the ecosystem. If lucky, you will witness the rare crossing of wildebeest at one of the popular crossing points (July & October). The river banks and the marsh regions are also the best areas to spot the cats. After lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive till evening. Optional activities include a cultural visit to a Maasai village ($30 per person) and a hot air balloon ride above the spectacular Maasai Mara ($450 per person). As the sun sets, you are transferred back to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Masai Mara National Reserve to Lake Nakuru National Park

Head to Lake Nakuru with a game drive and a picnic lunch en route. You will arrive at the flamingo-fringed Lake Nakuru National Park early evening, then proceed for a game drive.

Lake Nakuru is one of several Rift Valley lakes, and its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity. Flamingos (greater and lesser) and other waterbirds are the major attractions of the area. The ecosystem provides for about 56 different species of mammals, including the white rhinos and buffaloes, and a variety of terrestrial birds, numbering nearly 450 species. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.
