Pick up from Ole Sereni hotel after breakfast and depart Nairobi in the early morning and drive down the Escarpment to the floor of the Great Rift Valley, to Lake Nakuru National Park arriving in time for lunch at the Sarova lion hill lodge.

The park covers 180 sq km and is home to warthogs, waterbuck, buffaloes, reedbucks, and the occasional leopard. The park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists’ delight with more than 400 species of bird found here. Overnight at a lodge camp.

We head south to Narok; towards the expansive Masai Mara Reserve. We stop for lunch at the Keekorok lodge followed by an afternoon game drive to experience the Mara Magic, returning for a sun downer and dinner in the evening.

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. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal as well as cheetahs and leopards which are harder to spot.
