Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi to Nakuru

Lake Nakuru

You will be picked up from your hotel or airport by one of our safari representatives and after the briefing starts, you start your safari to Lake Nakuru.

You will enjoy lunch in a tranquil environment and leave to explore the park later in the afternoon getting back when the sun sets down behind the beautiful African horizons.

Flamingo Hill Tented Camp

Day 2 Nakuru Mara

Masai Mara

After breakfast you will head further south into the Maasai Mara, arriving in time for lunch. You will then get ready for your afternoon game drive, which will take place from 16:00 to 1830. You will have a chance to explore the savanna in search of the “big five” (rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant) in this wonderful game reserve. Other popular animals include zebra, hippo, wildebeest, hyena, and more. After the game drive, you will return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay

Enkorok Mara Camp

Day 3 Mara Reserve

Masai Mara

On this day you enjoy a full day game drive in the Mara after breakfast. You will get a packed lunch and a picnic in the wild. Maasai Mara Game Reserve is renowned for being host to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Millions of wildebeests cross over the Mara River every year from The Serengeti in search of grazing pastures. As they make their way across the Mara River, some of them are eaten by the hungry crocodiles awaiting them on the river banks (from mid-June till the end of October).

Day 4 Mara reserve

Masai Mara

This day will be spent with options of either half-day with picnic breakfast back to the camp for lunch and later afternoon safari starting 16:00 hrs or an early morning and evening game drive to experience the activity of the wildlife at sunrise and sunset. The mid-day was spent leisurely at the hotel with options of a visit to Maasai cultural village for a glimpse of their rich culture. If you are craving a wild Adrenalin rush, an early morning balloon safari over the Mara is worth.
