Description

Embark on a 5-day safari from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara. Enjoy game drives in the national parks and see the Big 5. Stay in comfortable lodges and enjoy meals throughout the trip. Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Naivasha Start your safari with a pick-up from the airport or your hotel in Nairobi. Drive to Lake Naivasha with a stopover at the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Continue to Hell's Gate National Park, which is mainly comprised of the savannah ecosystem and harbors a wide variety of wildlife including birds like vultures, Verreaux's eagles and swifts. See African buffalo, zebra, eland, hartebeest, Thomson's gazelle, and baboons. The park is also home to the klipspringer antelope. Later in the evening, you can have an optional boat ride. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge or similar. Day 2: Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru After breakfast, drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, regarded by avid birders as the greatest ornithological spectacle on earth. The park is famous for its millions of pink flamingoes lining the lakeshore. The park is also a sanctuary to the black rhino, white rhino, and the Rothschild giraffe. Birdlife includes common species like the lesser and greater flamingoes, African fish eagle, Tawny eagle, Green Wood Hoopoes, Cliff Chat, Great White and Pink Backed Pelicans plus other intra-African migrants. Arrive in time for lunch and check-in at your lodge. Proceed for an afternoon game drive in this park that has a dense population of other wildlife before returning back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. Day 3: Lake Nakuru National Park to Maasai Mara After breakfast, depart to Masai Mara Game Reserve. The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. It is 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. Its animals include lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos. Wildebeest traverse its plains during their annual migration. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at Mara Sopa Lodge or similar. Day 4: Full-day game drive in Maasai Mara After breakfast, spend a full day in Masai Mara with unlimited game drives in the reserve, exploring the park in search of the Big 5. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge. Day 5: Transfer back to Nairobi for the drop off After breakfast, depart Mara for the return journey back to Nairobi with en-route lunches. The safari ends in Nairobi at your hotel or the airport.
