DAY 1: Nairobi- Maasai Mara.
Leave Nairobi for Maasai Mara Game Reserve lunch enroute. On arrival proceed for
afternoon game-drive until 6.30 am return to the campsite for dinner and
overnight.
The Mara reserve is 1510 sq km of incredible wide-open
landscapes and fertile riverine woodland and one glimpse is enough to explain
its appeal; it is typical savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever
you go in the Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai
giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis,
impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos also
exist in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a
heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards
are harder to spot but are still reasonably common
DAY 2 : Maasai Mara
After breakfast leave the campsite for a whole day of game-drive with lunch
served in the park, return to the campsite for dinner and overnight
The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to
believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily
see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo,
warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes
and elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the
natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of
wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and
pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion,
cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.
DAY 3 : Maasai Mara

The park covers 180 sq km and is home to warthogs, waterbuck, buffaloes,
reedbucks, and the occasional leopard. White and black rhinos were introduced to
the park some years ago and you will find white rhino at the southern end. The
park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists’ delight with more
than 400 species of bird found here.
DAY 5 : Lake Nakuru-Samburu

antelope standing on hind legs to feed, Somali ostriches with distinct blue legs
and the shy Oryx. Elephant and crocodile are guaranteed sightings, excellent
