Itineraries

• 

  Day 1

  Road Transfer from Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

  Pick up from your hotel at 7-7.30 am (subject to the hotel location, time may vary). Depart from the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, and drive down the escarpment via the floor of the scenic Great Rift Valley to Masai Mara for check in at the camp for lunch. At 4:00 pm, take your first thrilling game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of East Africa's top safari destinations. The Mara reserve incorporates 1510sq km of incredible, wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek Rivers in Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Returning from our first foray into Masai Mara, we'll have dinner and relax under the stars, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush at Lenchada Tourist Camp.

  Day 2

  Guided Game Drives in Masai Mara National Reserve

  After an early breakfast, head out for a full day of game drives taking us in search of Africa's Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. The Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets well worth capturing on camera. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, wildebeests, elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common. The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July through October when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of greener grass. Return for dinner and overnight at Lenchada Tourist Camp.

  Day 4

  Transfer from Lake Nakuru National Park to Lake Naivasha

  After an early breakfast, drive into Lake Nakuru National Park for an extended game viewing drive session. Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the few Great Rift Valley attractions in Kenya that have the potential to hold a large number of birds. The place has an alkaline water ecosystem that suits other bird species such as European winter, black-winged stilts, and avocets. It is a great experience. You will then drive to Naivasha for an option to take a boat ride in this freshwater lake in order to see hippos and fish eagles. You will have dinner and overnight at Naivasha Dove Nest Lodge.
