As you approach the Maasai Mara National Reserve, you’ll witness the vast savannahs, home to the rich Maasai culture and an array of wildlife. Upon arrival in the reserve by lunchtime, check into your safari lodge or camp. After a brief rest, embark on your first afternoon game drive, keeping an eye out for the ‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros). As the sun sets, return to your accommodation for a sumptuous dinner and restful night amidst the wild.

As evening approaches, you have the option to visit a Maasai village to experience their rich culture and traditions firsthand.Nightfall brings another delightful dinner under the African sky, followed by storytelling or stargazing at the campfire..

After breakfast, depart Maasai Mara and drive towards Lake Nakuru National Park. This alkaline lake is famous for its pink hue when thousands of flamingos nest along its shores.

In the afternoon, embark on a game drive around Lake Nakuru, home to both black and white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, and many other species. The park’s acacia forests and waterbodies provide diverse habitats for its residents. Enjoy a peaceful dinner overlooking the lake and rest up for the next day’s adventures.

Begin your day with a morning game drive, seizing another opportunity to spot the animals by the lakeside. Witness the park come to life with bird songs and animals quenching their morning thirst.
