Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

Nairobi - Lake Naivasha

Upon arrival, you will be met by our guide and drive to Lake Naivasha. Arrive in time for lunch and check in at the lodge. Afternoon at leisure, optional boat ride at an extra cost.
Lake Naivasha itself is one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes in Kenya. The lake is surrounded by lush, green vegetation and is home to an astonishing variety of birdlife, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Over 400 species of birds can be spotted around the lake, from the graceful African fish eagle to vibrant kingfishers. The calm waters of the lake offer a peaceful setting for boat rides, where visitors can relax and observe the abundant wildlife that inhabits the area.

The lake is also famous for its thriving population of hippos. As you cruise across the waters, you’re likely to encounter these massive creatures lounging in the shallows, often accompanied by their young.

Day 2

Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve

Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we head to Maasai Mara to arrive in time for lunch at the Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge. Enjoy an afternoon game drive and return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

The Maasai Mara offers an absolutely unique variety of animals. This hilly region is both humid and fertile and is crossed by the Mara and Talek Rivers. The rivers are full of crocodiles and hippos and carry water the whole year round. The banks of the rivers are covered in thick forest, which gradually makes way for bush and grassland. The abundance of water and excellent availability of food are the reasons why the Maasai Mara, which in fact is a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park, has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic “spectacle” from July to November, the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras.

Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and July or August to October (For wildebeest migration)
