After an early pre-breakfast game viewing drive, you will have breakfast then spend the day exploring the magnificent and scenic game reserve, looking out for bird life found in the reserve. You will then stop for a picnic lunch at the Mara River then take a nature walk in the surrounding hills accompanied by a Maasai Moran in the afternoon. You will also go for a visit to the Maasai villages for a while, where you will be able to see and learn their various cultures and their special relationship with wildlife at the Mara and how they co-exist. After the visit you will depart the reserve for Lake Nakuru arriving in time for check in, dinner and overnight stay.

The Maasai are a semi-nomadic cattle rearing community with a fascinating culture.  They regard themselves not just as residents of this area but that they are as much a part of the life of the land as the land is part of their lives. Being nomads, their life-style depends entirely on cattle thus their special relationship with cattle. Traditionally, the Maasai rarely hunt and living alongside wildlife in harmony is an important part of their beliefs. Lions and Wildebeest play an important role in their cultural beliefs as their own herds of cattle. This unique co-existence of man and wildlife makes the Maasai land one of the world's most unique wilderness regions that is worth visiting.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge or similar

After enjoying breakfast you will depart to Lake Nakuru National Park and arrive at about lunch time. After having lunch, you will enjoy an afternoon game drive inside the park till evening, in time for your dinner and overnight stay.

Lake Nakuru National Park (188 km²), was created in 1961 around Lake Nakuru, near Nakuru Town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions of flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink flamingoes as far as the eye can see. The number of flamingoes on the lake varies with availability of water and food. These millions of flamingoes seek their food in the salty deep green waters of Lake Nakuru.  Another area of great interest is the area around the lake fenced off as a sanctuary to protect the endangered Rothschild giraffes and black rhinos. The protected area is also a habitat for birds of which 400 to 500 species can be found here including cormorants and pelicans. However visitors coming into Lake Nakuru may also catch a glimpse of Thomson gazelles, impala, waterbucks, buffaloes or even leopards.

Dinner and overnight stay will be at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge or similar

You will enjoy an early pre-breakfast flamingo-watching drive to the lake, which is a very memorable experience especially in the early morning. This will be followed by breakfast after which you will be checked out of your lodge for departure to Nairobi, arriving in time for a complementary lunch at the famous Carnivore Restaurant. After enjoying your lunch, you will be dropped off at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your departure flight to your next destination.

Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes. It lies to the south of Nakuru, in Central Kenya and is protected by a small Lake Nakuru National Park. The lake's abundance of algae attracts vast quantities of flamingos that famously line the shore. Other birds also flourish in the area, as do warthogs, baboons and other large mammals.
