Itinerary
Day 1 Nairobi/Masai Mara

Day 2 Masai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with your guide, after an early breakfast. The Mara's landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, which enables the reserve to attract sufficient rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores, together with the predators that follow. Elephant, lion, buffalo can be seen with relative ease though luck is a necessary factor for spotting rhino and leopard that complete the big five as the two animals are very timid and sparsely numbered. We will cater for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool. In the evening, return to the campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3 Masai Mara National Park - Lake Naivasha
After breakfast, depart for Lake Naivasha, home to a variety of birds. Arrive at the club in time for lunch. You will be taken for a boat ride on the lake after lunch. Dinenr and overnight at Lake Naivasha camp.

After breakfast a morning game drive will follow in Lake Nakuru National Park, the abode of various water birds that breed in the lake's salty water including flamingos, white pelicans and marabou stork; white rhino may be seen as well as the rare rothschild's giraffe, cape buffalo and other plains game in this park that is 188 square kilometres.

Day 6 Samburu
Morning and afternoon game-viewing sessions tracking the rare, drought resistant animals species which can only be seen north of the equator; these are: the reticulated giraffe, grevy's zebra, the gerenuk or giraffe-gazelle, beisa oryx and the blue shanked somali ostrich. The Ewaso Nyiro River traverses this park, it's source being the Abedare ranges.
