Day 2 Ol Pejeta or Nanyuki – Lake Nakuru/Lake Naivasha

After breakfast the tour leaves for Nyahururu (Thompson’s Falls) at an altitude of 7,738 feet. The falls are named after the Scots explorer Joseph Thompson who was the first European to discover the Falls in 1884. Then comes the descent into the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National park for lunch at one of the hotels. An afternoon drive in the park to enjoy the sight of pelicans bathing in the fresh water streams which terminate in Lake Nakuru. Since there is no exiting drainage, Lake Nakuru is alkaline, the perfect place for flamingos to feed on the blue-green algae. The greater flamingo attains a height of about 4.26 feet.  Its plumage is almost white with a pale pink, black tipped beak. It is the lesser flamingo that has the more exotic color. About 2.72 ft. in height, with a rosy plumage and dark red, black tipped beak. Lake Nakuru National Park has a great variety of bird life which includes the Egyptian goose and a variety of ducks that come from Europe to winter. This park is truly a bird watchers paradise. The game animals include, hippo, waterbuck, gazelles, colobus monkeys, buffalo, leopard and the Rothschild giraffe. The park is also a sanctuary for the white rhino. This park has an abundance of acacia trees, both yellow barked (fever tree) the umbrella-topped acacia and the candelabra cactus.

Day 3 Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara

If you overnight at Naivasha which is at an altitude of 6,233 feet, and in the centre of a farming area you may see the myriad of bird life at the Lake. After breakfast, drive across the plains to arrive at the Masai Mara National Reserve in time for lunch.

An afternoon drive will doubtless offer a sight of the black-manned lion for which the Mara is famous, sheltering from the heat. This park has a large concentration of wildlife big and small. The Masai Mara is at the bottom of the Rift Valley. There is a definite change in vegetation. The trees on the slopes resemble gnarled olive trees, later their place is taken by flat-topped acacia.

Day 4 Masai Mara

A full day of game viewing and exploring of this Kenya’s finest reserve or alternatively a morning game drive followed by an afternoon swim in the cool water of the hotel swimming pool.

The vegetation is mostly savanna type with forested areas near the rivers and of course the dwarf acacias to cater for the giraffes.
