Itinerary / Highlights
DAY 1, Great Rift Valley, Masai Mara, Game ReserveWe leave Nairobi and drive across the Great Rift Valley with its dramatic escarpment walls. Entering the Masai Mara we have time to rest at our comfortable permanent camp before taking to the game reserve for our first game drive. Watch zebra, giraffe and perhaps some predators, as the sun falls behind the acacia trees on our first night on tour.
DAY 2, Masai Mara Game Reserve
We enjoy a full day game viewing in the Masai Mara where there is always plenty to see. The Mara's undulating grasslands and plentiful wildlife under big skies make our game drives spectacular. While here, we search for the 'Big Five' & leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo & as well as other animals including wildebeest, zebra and giraffe. The Mara is also blessed with woodland and rivers. The famous Mara River is home to hippo and crocodile and an enormous variety of birds. Maybe take an optional balloon ride and enjoy the amazing views from above!
DAY 3, Lake Nakuru National Park
We leave the Mara and head north-east for Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru, a giant soda lake, attracts a multitude of birdlife, including thousands of flamingos that feed in its shallows, forming a striking pink fringe along the shore. We enjoy game drives in the area to watch the birdlife and animals found here including buffalo, baboons and rare Rothschild giraffes.
DAY 4, Nairobi
We return to Nairobi, ascending the eastern escarpment and continuing to the capital where our tour ends in the early afternoon.
