This is a 5-day safari visiting Hell's Gate, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. At Lake Nakuru, enjoy the fabulous water birds and other bird species. The best place to view the birds is from Baboon Cliff, where you get an excellent view over the lake and the wonderful spectacle of pink flamingos along its edge. In Maasai Mara, game drives take place all year round and are a great way to experience one of the best wildlife-viewing destinations in Africa.

Masai Mara remains 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. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under vehicles, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded, including 16 species of eagle, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustard - including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird - and 9 species of sunbirds.

Lake Nakuru National Park lies across the equator, south of Bogoria, and is the Rift Valley's most famous lake. Known all over the world for its flamingos, this alkaline lake is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harbouring a population of over 40 black rhinos and over 60 white rhinos, though the flamingos have always remained the main attraction. At times, there may be almost 2 million flamingos in residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore.

Hell's Gate National Park, mainly comprised of savannah ecosystem, harbours a wide variety of wildlife. There are over 100 species of birds in the park, including vultures, Verreaux's eagles, augur buzzards, and swifts. African buffalo, zebra, eland, hartebeest, Thomson's gazelle, and baboons are also common. The park is also home to klipspringer antelope.
