Itinerary

Day 1

NAIROBI - LAKE NAKURU.

Pick up from your hotel at 8.00am and depart for Lake Nakuru National park for game drive. Picnic lunch will be served.

This is 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. Here is one of the few places where we can see Rothschild's giraffes. Dinner and overnight at Genevieve hotel (budget hotel), in Nakuru town or one of the luxurious lodges.

Day 2

LAKE NAKURU - MASAI MARA.

After breakfast drive to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, the northern part of the Serengeti, one of Kenya's most favored game-viewing areas. Lunch at the camp / lodge. Afternoon game drive.

The Mara is 700 sq miles of open grassland dotted with the distinctive flat-topped acacia trees. It is watered by the tree-lined Mara River and its tributary the Talek River. The Western border of the park is the spectacular Oloololo Escarpment. It is difficult part of the Mara to access because of the swampy grounds.

Dinner and overnight at the Safe Ride Manyatta camp or one of the luxurious lodges in the reserve.

Day 3

MASAI MARA. Full day game drive.

Picnic lunch will be served. The Mara is the land of African legend: Lion are abundant throughout the park, as are the elephants, giraffes, and a variety of gazelle species and zebra. Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and, less commonly, rhino. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September where the big animals and their predators are to be present in abundance during the time frame of this trip.

Several species of Bee-Eater, the flying rainbow that heads the list of the Mara's birds, occur in the reserve. As well as wildlife, the Maasai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the borders of the park - Morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day.

Dinner and overnight at the Manyatta camp or Lodge.

Day 4

MASAI MARA - LAKE NAIVASHA

Morning game drive at Masai Mara. After breakfast game drive enroute to lake Naivasha, with lunch enroute.



Afternoon drive to the Crater Lake Island for a walking tour. Crater lake offers an evocative step back in time - to a bygone era of elegance and romance, in a wilderness untouched by the modern world with a private game sanctuary at a homely environment. Crater Lake offers classic escapes including painting, astrology, as well as ornithological outings to what must be one of the most beautiful small lakes in creation.



All meals and overnight the fisherman campsite or one of luxurious lodges around the lake.



* Optional boat ride is available at Lake Naivasha to view Hippos as well as sport fishing

Day 5

LAKE NAIVASHA - HELL'S GATE - NAIROBI

Early breakfast then drive on to Hell's Gate national park for a walking tour. Located in Naivasha area, this is one of the lowland parks in the country which you can walk through. The looming cliffs and the Hell's Gate gorge itself are spectacular and home to a variety of birds and animals such as zebra, baboons, Thomson gazelle, antelope, cheeter, and leopard. Another main attraction is the Fischer's Tower 25-m high calcium of volcanic rock.

The Olkaria Geothermal power station, which uses one of the hottest sources of energy in the world, is also a spectacular site, with plumes of steam rising into the air. Drive to Nairobi later in the afternoon where you arrive at around 1600hrs. On arrival you will be dropped at your hotel or at the airport.
