4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari with Rhino Sanctuary

• Start your safari by driving through the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains, famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest's migration. It is home to the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino.

• Have lunch at the lodge and relax.

• Depart for the afternoon game run. The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses in the world. Large mammals are varied and easy to see. Residents of the park include Masai giraffe, buffalo, eland, and thousands of plains game, including impala, zebra, Topi, and both Thomson's and Grant's gazelles.

Accommodation will be at the camp. The meal plan includes lunch and dinner.

• The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues today during extensive game runs. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals, plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs.

• During your stay, you also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people to witness the singing and dancing that form part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.

• Enjoy a pre-breakfast game drive between 06:30 and 09:00 hrs, then return to the campsite for a hot breakfast afterwards.

• Proceed to Lake Nakuru after breakfast.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Golden Palace Resort, a budget hotel in Nakuru.

• Proceed for a game drive in the rhino sanctuary, which is home to a colony of about 25 white and black rhinos. Predators are also resident in the park.

• Leave for Nairobi after lunch.
