After our relatively short drive, we’ll arrive at Lake Naivasha, a freshwater Rift Valley Lake where we will transition from jeep to boat for a safari across the lake. On the water, we’ll glide past curious hippos, exotic fish and have a chance to take in the full avian life such as cormorant and pelican.
Then we’ll switch gears for a guided walking safari to close-by Crescent Island Sanctuary where we can stroll by peacefully grazing antelope, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and more.
Filling out our day, we’ll bicycle over (or take the 4 x 4 if you choose) to Hell’s Gate National Park for a safari through the gorge taking in the gazelle, zebra, and others.

But now we’re traveling over the floor of the scenic Great Rift Valley with views of the escarpment as we journey through Masai country.
With the expanse of the Masai Mara National Reserve spread before us, you’ll know you have arrived someplace special. Kenya’s most popular park, the reserve is world-famous for its incredible density of wildlife and during the Great Migration (July – October) an unending torrent of gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra streaming into the park.
All of Africa’s Big Five are here so we’ll be tracking lions, leopard, cheetah, hyena, plus warthog, ostrich and so much more.
Overnight
We’ll spend the first of two nights at the Masai Mara at your safari lodge or tented camp.
Meal Plan:Â Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Today is a day of unlimited game drives – explore as much as you wish or take time to relax – the choice is yours. Just let your driver/guide know what you’d like to do.
The Masai Mara is known for offering the most diverse wildlife in the region and sightings of lions are not uncommon. We’ll be tracking for elephant, buffalo, rhino and herds of wildebeest and zebra.
We’ll visit the Mara River, site of the massive influx of animals during the migrating season. Here at the river, we’ll look for hippos and crocodiles, while in the hills, lions lie in wait for the hordes of grazers invading the reserve.
If you wish you can take an optional visit to a nearby Masai village to meet the tribe’s people and learn about their culture and their lives. You might even partake in their famous jumping dance.
Another optional treat is an early morning hot air balloon safari over the park as the sun lights up the forests, savannah, and hills. The sight of the park coming to life is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Just ask your driver/guide for details – he’ll be happy to make all the arrangements.
