    • Depart to the Northwest of Nairobi and in the Great Rift Valley lies Lake Naivasha, surrounded by a swamp. 
    • Here you can observe a large, thriving population of resident hippos and vibrant flamingos, adding exotic colours to the striking landscape. Have your binoculars handy to spot some of the 400 species of birds, including eagles, pelicans, and the bearded vulture.
    • Enjoy a boat trip to the Crescent Island Game Park, one of Kenya' best-kept secrets. TV crews often film here due to the huge range and number of animals. 
    • See herds of roaming wildebeest, waterbuck, gazelle, and maybe spot giraffes or buffalo wandering through the region during the annual migration periods. 
    • Gaze out at an array of grazing animals as the sun sets behind the neighbouring mountains.
    • Depart to Lake Nakuru, arriving on time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National park. Lake Nakuru National Park is a scenic gem of Tanzania, stretching more than 73 miles (188 km) along the Rift Valley escarpment base.

  • Day 3: Masai Mara National Reserve expand_more
    • Early morning breakfast followed by departure to Maasai Mara National Reserve. This Kenya’s most popular nature reserve is renowned for its impressive number of big cats, most notably lions, though you may spot the odd cheetah as well. The Serengeti plains, irrigated by the River Mara, make up much of the park and sustain huge populations of migratory animals, including wildebeest, giraffes and zebras. 4WD safaris at different times of the day will ensure you get the most out of your visit.

  • Day 4: Masai Mara Game Drive & Village Visit expand_more
    • Enjoy game drives with a visit to Masai Village, where you will interact with the Masai and learn their tradition and culture. You’ve seen pictures of them – adorned with the brilliant red, blue and purple patterns of the shukas they wear. The men with their spears, tall and proud. The women bejewelled with bright beaded earrings and scarves. These are some of the oldest inhabitants of East Africa, the Maasai people. They live in small mud-thatched villages, surrounded by their cattle and smaller livestock. For hundreds of years, the Masai have roamed these lands of Kenya and Tanzania, living a free, nomadic lifestyle. Their traditional lands now comprise much of Kenya’s national parks. A highlight of your safari vacation is a visit with these Maasai people. Many of the tribes welcome visitors to their villages to view up-close their culture and lifestyle.
