Trip description
Note: this is an indicative travel
description. The precise order of the mentioned route, safaris and
activities can be adjusted. Of course, all travel components described
below are offered.
On the morning of departure you will be picked up at your hotel in Nairobi. The starting point of the safari is the office. Here you will meet the guide and the other travelers. You leave for the Masaai Mara at around 9 a.m. This is a ride with a beautiful view of the "Escarpment Wall". You will have lunch in Narok and around 15.00 you will arrive at Mara Springs Tented Camp, or a similar camp based on availability. After freshening up you go on a short safari that lasts until the sun sets. Dinner is served in the camp.
Your day starts with a hearty breakfast. For the 8 o'clock clock you head out for a safari of more than 9 hours! In the Masaai Mara National Park the largest numbers of animals live together and today you make a game drive towards the Mara River, the place where all those animals come together. If you arrive during the migration time, you will see the wildebeest crossing the river. And outside of migration you will see countless crocodiles and hippos by the river. You picnic in the park and after lunch your safari continues. The safari lasts until about 5 hours today. Dinner is also served at the camp this evening.
After breakfast you can do an optional activity, such as a "nature walk" with Masaai warriors. Or visit the nearby Masaai village. The costs of these optional activities are 2000 Kenyan Shilling per activity per person; around 20 euros per activity per person. Then you travel to Lake Nakuru. Along the way you enjoy a beautiful view of Mount Longonot. If you wish, we can organize an optional activity on the way for you at Lake Naivasha; a boat trip of about 45 minutes where you can see hippos and pelicans. In the evening you will arrive in Nakuru Town. You spend the night at the Citymax hotel or a comparable hotel based on availability.
Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Lake Naivasha
Your breakfast at the hotel. Then you travel to Lake Nakuru, famous for
the endangered rhinos that live here and of course the many flamingos. The
flamingos do not always show up close, but you must have a lot of bad luck if
you do not come across (many) rhinos today. Lake Nakuru is not a big
National Park and after about 4 hours you have seen most of the
park. After lunch you will drive to Lake Naivasha where you will stay at
the Taphe Guest Resort, or a similar resort.After breakfast you go on safari all day through the Amboseli National Park. Here too you have the opportunity for an optional activity with warriors from the Masaai tribe.
In the morning you will once again enjoy a nice safari through the Amboseli National Park. Then you start the return trip to Nairobi where you will arrive mid-afternoon.
