– Amboseli National Park – Kenya Beach (by 4×4 land cruiser jeep)

• The Mara is impressive in its grand sweep of savannah highlighted with the familiar flat-topped acacia trees so often seen in photos. The park is rich with wildlife, the greatest density of any reserve in the region. So, it’s not unusual to come upon some or all of Africa’s “Big Five”, including lion and leopard.And during the Great Migration from July to October, this reserve becomes the site of the greatest animal show on earth. Crossing into the park over the Mara River is a fantastic avalanche of wildebeests and zebra advancing in search of life-sustaining vegetation.Waiting for them are crocodiles and other predators playing out the endless cycle of life on the African plain. It is a never to be forgotten spectacle.If you wish you can also view this awesome display from above on an optional hot air balloon safari. You’ll rise into the prevailing winds early in the morning and float over the infinite herds below, forging ahead as they have for millions of years.For another experience of the Mara’s timelessness, take an optional visit to a local Masai village. Here you’ll meet the villagers and see firsthand their bomas and learn about their lives.We shall visit the Mara river where we watch hippos & crocodiles or maybe the great migration (July – October)Other options at the Masai mara

The few quantity of  flamingos is accompanied by other birdlife – pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy and full of color.

But that’s only the beginning of what this special park has to offer because the wildlife viewing here is easy and accessible. Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. You’re sure to see rare Rothschild’s Giraffe along with white rhino, especially along the lakeshore.
