7-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari with Wildebeest Migration

You will be picked up at the airport upon arrival and taken to the office or hotel for a tour briefing. Later, you will be dropped at your hotel, where you will spend the night before your tour begins the following day. You will stay overnight at Limpopo Hotel and Suites.

You will be picked up from the hotel by the driver-guide at 08:30 am and then drive to Maasai Mara via Narok town, heading to Maasai Mara National Reserve, the land of the Maasai Tribe. The proud young Maasai warrior nomads with plaited hair, red cloaks, and spears will challenge your curiosity.

Check in before your first game drive, then enjoy an afternoon game drive in the reserve. Return to the camp before dark.

Overnight at Giraffe Hills Mara Camp. Included: Bed, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Today, there will be a possibility to take an optional hot air balloon ride (costs excluded). Take to the skies for the ultimate Masai Mara wildlife adventure, soaring in a hot air balloon over herds of game to the inner reaches of the Mara. You'll ascend in the early morning when the winds are calmest. Watch as the professional crew fills the balloon with hot air. Slowly, the big, colourful bag begins to bulge and take shape.

After your incredible flight, it's time to return to Earth for breakfast. You might wonder what all the ordinary people are doing on this perfect African morning! Before leaving, the pilot will present you with your balloon flight.

Or

• You will have a full-day game drive.

Overnight at Giraffe Hills Mara Camp. Included: Bed, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Depart for Lake Nakuru National Park after breakfast, arriving in time for lunch at the camp or lodge as well as check-in.

The afternoon game drive takes you to the lake to view flamingos and pelicans. Also, spot white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffe, waterbucks, and other kinds of African wildlife.

After breakfast, we set out for an early morning game drive in the reserve. This is usually the most popular game-viewing time. During the early hours, temperatures are low, thus providing a favourable atmosphere for the game and the viewer. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards roam the vast grasslands for their next meal; it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a small one like the warthog.

Arrive for lunch at the lodge. The afternoon will be free time to wander around a non-touristy town where the pax can do some shopping.

Overnight at the Naivasha West Beach Camp. Included: Bed, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Enjoy a guided walk in the Crescent Island Sanctuary, one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya and often called Naivasha's "best-kept secret". It is private, secure, and patrolled by guides who can accompany anyone who wishes for a guided walk. The sanctuary's shores host abundant birdlife, including huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan park.

You will have breakfast in the morning and then enjoy game drives en route when leaving the national park. You will arrive in Nairobi around lunchtime and go for lunch. After that, you will be driven to the airport for your next destination or to your hotel.
