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.

• Balloon excursion =$ 420 per person (enquire with us)
• Masai village visit =$ 20 per person payable to village (arrange with your safari driver / guide)

The few flamingoes at the Lake Nakuru are joined by pelicans, kingfishers, ostriches, storks and herons. So much birdlife! But this amazing park also offers chances to view lion, leopard, cheetah and buffalo.

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.
