6 Days, 3 National Parks Nairobi to Kenya Beach Safari by 4×4 jeep
Nairobi – Masai Mara Game Reserve – Lake Nakuru National Park – Amboseli National Park – Kenya Beach

Masai Mara Game Reserve – full day

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner 

We’ll arrive at the Mara with plenty of time for game drives today. This reserve is vast but supports an intense concentration of wildlife. You’re sure to see plenty of predators and grazers playing out their life cycles on a great savannah dotted with distinctive acacia trees.

If you should be at the park during the time of the great migration (July – October) prepare to take in the greatest display of advancing animals – wildebeests and zebra – on the planet. The wildlife arrives in its yearly cycle, and their numbers are breathtaking.

We’ll visit the Mara River at the point of this crossing, where crocodiles await and immense hippos forage. And, we’ll be tracking other wildlife over the immense plains of the park – lion, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, rhino and gazelle.

We offer several optional excursions to add more value and memories to your safari adventure here. Speak to your guide about taking a hot air balloon safari. You’ve never experienced anything like rising with the dawn over the African countryside to the sight of an endless procession of marching wildebeests.

Then for a more up close and personal safari experience, pay a visit to one of the local Maasai groups. At their local village, you’ll get to see their lifestyle, culture and handicrafts.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We’re next off to Lake Nakuru but on the way, we’ll make stops to eat, stretch our legs and admire some of the more scenic spots we come upon.

Due to some progressive natural factors , the flamingo numbers have been reducing  but the park itself remains  stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dot the lake.

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.

You’ll also find the Rothschild’s giraffe nibbling amongst the treetops plus many rhinos. The rhino sanctuary here holds one of Kenya’s largest herd of endangered black and white rhinos. We’ll spend the night here and then rise for an early morning game drive and bird watching.
