Masai Mara National Reserve

After an early breakfast at camp, depart with packed picnic lunch boxes for an exciting full-day game drive in the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Today gives you the best chance to fully explore different sections of the reserve as you venture deeper into this wildlife-rich ecosystem in search of the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Along the way, you may also encounter cheetahs scanning the plains, hyenas on the move, giraffes browsing the acacia trees, large herds of zebra and wildebeest, and a remarkable variety of birdlife.
You will also visit the famous Mara River, known for its large pods of hippos and massive Nile crocodiles, and, during the migration season, dramatic river crossings. Enjoy your picnic lunch in the wild before continuing with your afternoon game viewing adventure.

Lake Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast, check out of your camp and set off on a final morning game drive as you exit the Masai Mara, giving you one last chance to spot wildlife in the golden morning light. You then begin your scenic journey through the Great Rift Valley, with sweeping views of escarpments, rolling hills, and rural countryside along the way. Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch at your lodge, followed by some time to relax before your afternoon game drive.

Later, head out to explore this compact yet wildlife-rich park, renowned for its thriving populations of both black and white rhinos, as well as the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. As you drive along the lake shores, keep an eye out for flocks of flamingos that often paint the water’s edge pink, along with pelicans, buffalo, zebras, and, if you're lucky, elusive predators such as lions or leopards.
