Itinerary

1. Day 1: Nairobi to Hell's Gate & Lake Naivasha

   • You'll be picked up from the airport/ hotel and drive to Lake Naivasha with a stop by Hell's Gate. The park, which is mainly comprised of the savannah ecosystem, harbours a wide variety of wildlife. There are over 100 species of birds in the park, including vultures, Verreaux's eagles, augur buzzards, and swifts. African buffalo, zebra, eland, hartebeest, Thomson's gazelle, and baboons are also common. The park is also home to klipspringer antelope.
   • Unlike many other national parks, Hell's Gate allows visitors to walk or cycle through the park without the need for a safari vehicle. This is due to the absence of dangerous predators.
   • The park offers hiking and rock climbing opportunities, with sites such as Fischer's Tower, a volcanic plug that attracts climbers. Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy activities like rock climbing, cycling, and camping. Dinner and overnight at the selected camp or lodge.

2. Day 2: Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru

   • Early in the morning from your hotel then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. It is across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, and lies on the Rift Valley's most famous Lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harbouring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. However, the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times, there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. You will arrive in time for lunch and then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight at the selected camp or lodge.

3. Day 3: Lake Nakuru National Park to Masai Mara National Reserve

   • We'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight at the selected camp or lodge.

4. Day 4: Masai Mara National Reserve

   • After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it is one of the few places where it's possible to see the big five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
   • For bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these, 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Dinner and overnight at the selected camp or lodge.
