Itinerary

1. Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara

   • Drive in the morning takes you to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, the northern part of the Serengeti, one of Kenya's most favoured game-viewing areas. The reserve covers 700 square miles of magnificent wilderness. It is the Africa of the imagination; endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands studded with hazy hills. 

   • Enjoy an afternoon game drive and see lions in large pride, elephants, buffalos, zebras and numerous plain animals.

   Dinner and overnight at Campsite.

2. Day 2: Masai Mara Game Drive

   • Enjoy a full day game drive in Masai Mara. The Mara is the land of African legends. Lions are abundant throughout the park, as are the elephants, giraffes, and various gazelle species and zebras. Cheetahs and leopards are also regularly seen and, the less common ones are the rhinos. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September. The big animals and their predators are to be present in abundance during the time frame of this trip. The Maasai Mara is also home to many members of the colourful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the park's borders - Morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day. A Maasai boma (homestead) visit reveals all of this along with unique culture and customs.

   All meals and overnight at the campsite.

3. Day 3: Masai Mara to Nakuru

   • Enjoy the last game drive after breakfast in the picturesque Masai Mara in the morning through the Rift Valley.

   • Drive to Lake Nakuru, a shallow alkaline lake in the Rift Valley, renowned for its spectacular flamingo population as one of the world's greatest ornithological spectacles. Although Lake Nakuru is primarily a bird sanctuary, there are a considerable number of animals to be encountered, such as many large game animals such as zebras, elephants and gazelles; this is one of our best chances of seeing rhinos. Lake Nakuru National Park was the first place in Kenya selected as a rhino reserve. This is also one of the few places where we can see Rothschild's giraffes.

   Dinner and overnight at the campsite. 

4. Day 4: Nakuru to Nairobi

   • After breakfast, spend the morning game viewing, watching and photographing birds at the Nakuru National Park.

   • Leave for Nairobi with lunch en route and a stop for panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley.

   • Arrive at Nairobi late in the afternoon after driving through lush Kikuyu farmland. You will be dropped at your hotel. This one of the few places where we can see Rothschild's giraffes.
