There’s so much wildlife in Ol Pejeta – we’ll take an early morning game drive to see who we can spot before departing this lovely preserve.

Continuing, we’ll arrive at Lake Naivasha in time for an afternoon boat safari across the lake. This is an easy, relaxing ride, sailing past hippos and exotic birdlife dotting the lake and its shores. Nearby, we may spot antelope, zebra, buffalo, eland, and impala perhaps grazing on the shore. We should also have time for a guided walking safari to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary. It’s a quick walk to this small park where we’ll spot impala, gazelle and other grazers close-by.

Let’s rise with the sun for one more game drive before departing for world-famous Masai Mara Reserve. Our drive will take us past the dramatic rises and gorges of the Great Rift Valley, passing through Masai county.

The Masai Mara impresses visitors with its vast spaces but also with its amazing displays of wildlife, said to contain the greatest density of lions in the world. We’ll arrive at the great park with plenty of time for an afternoon game drive. Over its rolling green hills and golden savannahs, we’ll be looking for the big cats, elephant, giraffe, ostrich, warthog, plus buffalo and more.

Day 4

Masai Mara – full day

This is a day of unlimited game drives and fulfilling exploration. Sightings of lion are common on these plains and we will track the mighty creatures. The park is also known as the place where the greatest movement of animals on the planet occurs – the Great Migration. If you are here during the migrating season (July – October) you’ll be witness to thousands and perhaps tens of thousands of gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra pouring into the park over the Mara River. We’ll enjoy lunch by the river and if in season, watch the torrent of wildlife flood into the park. Also, nearby, we’ll look for hippos and crocodiles in their river habitat. Rounding out your first-hand experience here, we offer several optional activities: Visit the local Maasai tribe at their village. See their lifestyle and culture up close and take in their colourful ceremonies
