Lion, Giraffe and Zebra from the
surrounding savannah plains.
Leopards are also regularly spotted.
The Uaaso Nyiro River's magnificent
displays are the long and huge
Crocodiles, which exceed 6 metres
(20 feet) from snout to tail.

enjoy a game drive en
route
to your campsite and on day 3 you

Day 5: Lake Nakuru
On day 5 of your

will visit Lake Nakuru National
Park, which is famous for the
presence of up to 2 million
Flamingoes, seasonally feeding on
the abundant algae.

vacation. Camping (Kembu Campsite or

Days 6 - 7: Masai Mara National
Reserve
The
famous Masai Mara Game Reserve is
known for its density of animals
including the 'Big Five' and
453 species of birds.
It is one of the most visited
reserves in Africa. This National
Reserve's plains are predominantly
open savannah, interspersed with
patches of acacia woodland, and
along the Mara River, riparian
forest.
Whilst game viewing is excellent in
the Mara all year round, the most
popular time to visit is in late
July into August where, over one
million Wildebeest and hundreds of
thousands of
Zebra migrate from the Serengeti.
The dramatic river crossings are a
gruesome spectacle of survival of
the fittest.
You will set up camp
here for two nights and enjoy early
starts, for your game drives,
returning to camp for a late
breakfast or brunch. Time to reflect
and relax for the hotter part of the
day and then out for another game
