Day 02

Lake Nakuru National Park Game Drive

  • After an early breakfast, drive to Lake Nakuru National Park for a game drive.

Day 03

Full-Day Safari in Masai Mara Game Reserve

  • After an early breakfast, head to the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve for a full-day game drive with a lunch break. With excellent year-round animal concentrations and its typical short savanna plains, this reserve is well worth a visit. It is also home to the Great Migration in the months of July-October, when two million wildebeest make their way northwards from the Serengeti in Tanzania.

Day 04

Sunrise and Full-Day Game Drives in Masai Mara

  • Enjoy a full day of game drives ahead. Before sunrise, try to spot different predators that may have made a kill the previous night.

  • Return for breakfast at the camp while the sun rises over the game reserve.

  • You can choose to take a packed lunch for a full-day game drive or return to the camp for a hot lunch. The secret to spotting many animals is to do different game drives at different times and in different areas for the highest success rate.

Day 05

Lake Naivasha and Afternoon Boat Safari

  • Have an en-route game drive to the gate of Masai Mara.

  • Arrive at Lake Naivasha for a late lunch. Lake Naivasha is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including a sizeable population of hippos, which usually invade the property during their nightly forays for food.
