Safari summary
If you have about 6 days to explore Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara, you are in for an incredible safari experience. Each of these destinations offers unique wildlife sightings and breathtaking landscapes. Ol Pejeta, a wildlife conservancy in Central Kenya, is known for its diverse wildlife, conservation efforts, and research programs. Established in 1993, it hosts the "Big Five" and is home to the critically endangered northern white rhinoceros. The conservancy also houses the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, providing a natural habitat for orphaned and rescued chimpanzees. From seeing the Great Migration in Masai Mara to seeing flamingos at Lake Nakuru and taking in views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, each of these locations offers a distinctive experience. Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve is renowned for its plethora of wildlife, which includes the Big Five, and for the annual migration of wildebeest. In addition to engaging in cross-cultural encounters with the Maasai people, visitors can explore the vast savannah. Here’s a detailed itinerary for a 6-day safari covering these three iconic locations.
