4 Days Unforgettable Safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru)

Early in the morning, we pick you up from the airport or from the hotel, then drive you to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the rift valley's most famous 'Lake Nakuru'. Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence,
forming a stunninglybeautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.

Enjoy an early morning drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve, which holds on as 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. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.

After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its blackmaned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. The Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. For the
bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these are 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Wake up early in the morning for a last-game drive and have breakfast thereafter. At around 1000 Hrs. begin your drive back to Nairobi to arrive late afternoon. On arrival drop off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to catch your outbound flight.
