| Day 1: | You are met on arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to the hotel. Overnight at Hotel Intercontinental Nairobi on Bed and Breakfast basis. |
| Day 2: | Breakfast at the hotel then depart for Lake
Nakuru National Park arriving in time for lunch at the lodge. Lake
Nakuru was originally declared a national park because of a superbly
diverse bird population especially for the protection of the flamingos.
It is in this park that one has the highest chances of seeing the white
rhino. The park is about 190sqkm and it harbors animal species as
buffalo, zebra, waterbuck and cats like lion and leopard. The
rhino-breeding program was started in the late eighties in this park
and has proved to be successful. Afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight at Flamingo Hill Camp or similar. |
| Day 3: | Depart after breakfast and drive to Maasai
Mara
Game Reserve. Lunch at the lodge followed by time to relax before
embarking on an afternoon game drive. Maasai Mara boasts an astonishing
amount of game and is probably Kenya's most famous reserves. The Mara
landscape is stunning with endless savannas dotted with thorn trees.
The famously black-manned Mara lions are possibly the stars of the Mara
show, but cheetah, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thompson's gazelle,
waterbuck, hyena, and primates are all here too. Birding is also
excellent. Maasai Mara is the northerly end of the Great Migration;
that great primeval surge of wildebeest, zebra and antelope that sweeps
in from Serengeti as grass in Serengeti starts to fail. As it is
naturally, they are tracked by the predators who pick off the weak, the
stragglers and the young. The crossing over to Kenya is normally in
July but the whole episode depends on the forage in the two parks.
Afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight at Mara Simba Lodge or similar. |

lodge

Nairobi arriving early afternoon. Then transfer to the airport for your
