Enjoy two safari drives; one in the morning and one in the afternoon, catching this park and the wildlife at different times of day. Afterwards, drive along the shimmering shores of Lake Nakuru.
Day 4This morning attend a talk given by…
This morning attend a talk given by a representative of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) about the issues surrounding poaching and wildlife conservation. Then, travel south to Lake Naivasha passing through the lands of the Great Rift Valley en route. This large freshwater lake is surrounded by olive trees and grassy banks. We’ll set off on a boat to cruise the waters in search of hippos and buffalo. Then, enjoy a guided walk on Crescent Island—a peaceful wildlife sanctuary located in the middle of the lake.
Day 5Adventure onward to the legendary National Reserve…We can’t start a day of adventure on an empty stomach! Tuck into breakfast before we depart for the famous National Reserve of the Masai Mara. Arrive in the afternoon and take some time to settle into our safari camp before venturing into the reserve on a wildlife safari drive. There will be an excellent chance here of seeing the “big five”: buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino.
