Day 04: Lake Bogoria – Kakamega Forrest After a delicious breakfast and a boat ride back to mainland, you will continue in your private 4 x 4 vehicle to one of the last remaining rain forests in Kenya. Arrive in time for lunch at the intimate and in colonial style built “Rondo Retreat” This small but enchanting retreat is the best starting point for the anticipated walks/hikes through this tropical paradise. The garden will leave every bird watcher amongst you with a heart skipping for joy. A great variety of bird species can be observed from your cottage without having to wander into the forest itself. Dinner and overnight at Rondo Retreat Center. (FB)

Day 05

Day 05: Full day Kakamega Forest Today, a beautiful hike is on the agenda, but of course weather permitting. However, on most days the weather is clear and great for a guided forest walk.

You may also encounter a great diversity of different reptiles and insects that live in this forest, which cannot be found anywhere else in Kenya. Dinner and overnight at Rondo Retreat. (FB)

Your personal guide and private 4 x 4 vehicles will be at your disposal throughout all days, while you are in the Masai Mara. You will enjoy unlimited game drives, choosing the number of drives and duration of each. You may also wish to take “packed meals” with you and spend the whole day or a full morning out in the bush. The great migration of wildebeest takes place between July and November. During this time, approx.1.5 million wildebeest will move from the Serengeti Eco-system into the Greater Masai Mara Reserve. Due to the massive wildlife movement, the Big Cats are highly active and with a bit of luck you may be able to watch a “kill”. Dinner and overnight at Mara Bush Camp. (FB)

(at approx. 16.00 hrs) You may opt to do some souvenir shopping (or a late lunch/ early dinner – extra cost) or go straight to the main airport, depending on what time your international flight departs. Should you wish to extend your safari to another destination or enjoy a beach holiday, we will be happy to arrange these “additions” and internal flights for you. End of Safari
