Day 1: Nairobi > Masai Mara
After breakfast we will pick you up from your hotel and depart for Masai Mara Game Reserve, stopping at the view point of the Great Rift Valley with lunch enroute. We arrive in time for a late afternoon game drive in this ‘big game country’.
Day 2: Masai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with your guide, after an early breakfast. The Mara’s is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, which enables the reserve to attract sufficient rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores, together with the predators that follow. Elephants, lions and buffalos can be seen with relative ease though luck is a necessary factor for spotting the rhino and the leopard that completes the big five as the two are very timid and are numbered sparsely. Plain game like the wildebeest, zebra and the Masai giraffe as well as hippos and a large variety of antelopes including the impala, dik dik, hartebeest, Grant’s gazelle and Thompson’s gazelle among others. We will cater for lunch at the hippo pool. Return to the lodge/ campsite in the evening for diner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Masai Mara
After breakfast, another morning of tracking game with your guide in this reserve which borders Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and is the annual seasonal scene of the migration that occurs between the two parks. Lunch is at the lodge/ campsite. In the afternoon there is an option of either going for either a game drive or nature walk with our Masai guides; at an extra cost you may visit a local Masai Village to see their nomadic lifestyle. The Masai are famous for their bravery as they have co-existed with the animals all these years. Diner and overnight are at a lodge/ campsite
Day 4: Masai Mara > Nakuru
There is an early morning pre-breakfast drive. After breakfast depart for Nakuru for diner and overnight stay. On the way Mt. Longonot can be seen and lake Naivasha also. Diner and overnight are at the lodge/campsite.
Day 5: Lake Nakuru > Samburu
After breakfast a morning game drive will follow in Lake Nakuru National Park the abode of a number of water birds including the flamingos, the white rhino may also be seen as well as the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, Cape buffalo and other plain game in this park that is 188 square kilometers. You will depart for Samburu Game reserve for diner and an overnight stay at the lodge or campsite via the Thompson falls which were named after Joseph Thompson, one of the first European explorers who walked from Mombasa to Lake Victoria in the 1880s. Lunch and game drive enroute.
Day 6: Samburu
There are morning and afternoon game-viewing sessions tracking the rare drought resistant animals. Samburu is north of the equator and contains rare and drought resistant animal species. These include reticulated giraffes, grevy’s zebra, the blue shanked Somali ostrich, the gerenuk or giraffe gazelle and the beisa onyx. The Ewaso Nyiro River traverses the park, its sources being the Aberdare Ranges. There are therefore high chances of spotting crocodiles in a natural environment though its water level varies with the seasons. The rest of the meals and overnight are at a lodge / campsite.
