Lake Nakuru National Park is a lovely spot filled with waterfalls, acacia forests and the lake’s blue alkaline waters. You’ll find some flamingoes here along with pelicans, kingfishers, ostriches, herons, and eagles.

But the park is also known for giving sanctuary to a large population of black and white rhinos.

That’s what makes this reserve so special – its great variety of shape, form, color, and species.

We’ll spend the night at your Lake Nakuru safari lodge or tented safari camp.

We’ve got lots to see today so let’s start with an early morning safari through the park before making our way to nearby Lake Naivasha.

We’ll spend the nights at our Masai Mara safari lodge or tented safari camp.

We’ve planned this 8-days safari tour in Kenya to give you lots of time explore the rolling hills and acacia tree- dotted plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve.

One of the most unique properties of the Mara is that this ecosystem has the highest concentration of wildlife in this region of Africa. Besides the African Big Five, we’ll be looking for gazelle, topi, eland, plus great quantities of birdlife – kingfisher, stork, guinea fowl and plenty of raptors.

You may also see stunning hordes of wildebeests and zebra throughout the park during the Kenya Wildebeest Migration Season (July – October). This is the time when uncountable numbers of these grazers invade the park, crossing the Mara River, searching for sustenance.

We’ll take a picnic lunch near the river looking for hippos and crocodiles. And if it is the migration season, look for the vast influx of wildlife streaming into the Mara.

Our focus will be on the wildlife and a follow up on predators found in the morning safari. Game drive will continue into the early evening after which we’ll head back to our tented safari camp/ Masai Mara safari lodge for dinner and overnight.
