Lake Nakuru is a shallow alkaline lake on the edges of Nakuru
town and lies a distance of 160 kilometers from Nairobi. The
lake is world famous as home to millions of flamingoes. The
number of flamingoes depends on the water level which determines
the quantity of algae on which the birds feed. Flamingoes are
known to migrate to other Rift Valley lakes whenever the water
level is low. The National Park surrounds the lake and was
gazetted to protect the colony of flamingoes as well as provide
sanctuary for endangered species such as the rhino. There are
about 25 white and black rhinos, one of the largest
concentrations in the country. Predators are also residents to
this park while Rothschild’s giraffe have been trans-located
into the park for safety
Day 5: Lake Nakuru – Maasai Mara
We break the camp soon after breakfast and travel south through
the beautiful savannahs and plains of the Rift Valley and reach
our base camp site, where we enjoy another evening out bush
under the far-reaching African sky. Game is viewed as we proceed
to Mara Enchoro or Sidai Camp for Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 7/6 : Maasai Mara
Spend the next two days on game drives exploring the Masai Mara.
The open grasslands are home to incredibly rich and varied
wildlife and the awesome, annual migration of millions of
wildebeest and antelope is the highlight of any visit to Africa
from July to September. Optional balloon safari can be arranged
at an extra coat of US$ 450 per person.
The Maasai Mara Game Reserve is arguably Kenya’s most popular
game sanctuary. It is the most famous and most visited game
reserve in Kenya. The film ‘Out of Africa’ was made to a great
extent in this reserve. Virtually every type of wildlife can be
seen at the Mara. A spectacle worth seeing is the annual
migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from
Serengeti plains across the Tanzania border and the Mara River
to reach Maasai Mara grazing fields from late June. The dramatic
crossing of the river and the preying on the migrants by
predators can be viewed from early July to August. The reserve
abounds with birdlife since dose to about 452 species have been
recorded.

Naivasha. visit to hells gate national park- this park can be
explored on foot or by cycling- bicycles are available for hire
at an extra cost. Dinner and o vernight
stay at Fish Eagle Camp
Hells gate national park is characterized by diverse topography
and geological scenery. It has historically been an important
home for the rare lammergeyer, but it is now thought that the
famous pair of birds may not have nested in the park for several
years.
One is encouraged to hike and cycle in the park. This is a
rarity in Kenyan National Parks, and is only made possible due
to the lack of large predators such as lions and cheetahs
Day 9: Lake Naivasha – Amboseli
National park
Break the camp and proceed to Amboseli national park. Via
Nairobi –Amboseli is the magnificent park at the foot hills of
Mt.Kilimanjaro.After noon game drives followed by dinner and
overnight stay at Kibo safari Camp
This small park (at 392 sq km) is the second most popular park
in Kenya after Maasai Mara, mainly due to the spectacular
backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the southern boundary.
Amboseli means ‘the place of water’ in Maasai language. The park
has an endless supply of water which is filtered through
thousands of meters of volcanic rock from Mount Kilimanjaro.
Animal species seen include elephant, zebra, wildebeest,
giraffe, impala and leopard. The birdlife seen here includes
pelican, bee eater, kingfisher, African fish eagle and pygmy
falcon. Amboseli is one of the most popular parks and offers
excellent accommodation facilities. There are five lodges and
two campsites inside the park. Kilimanjaro forms the backdrop of
this game sanctuary and it is a sight to see and marvel at. The
nomadic richly decorated Maasai who are deeply steeped in Maasai
culture entertain visitors with enchanting dances of ageless
Africa.
Day 10 : Amboseli - Lake Manyara
Early morning game drives, then return to the camp for
breakfast, we drive into Tanzania via the Namanga border. We
also pass through Arusha to Lake Manyara National park with
lunch enroute. Regardless of the direction we approach Manyara
from, the view is always fantastic. We proceed to a campsite for
dinner and overnight stay.
Lake Manyara is a shallow, alkaline lake that is part of the
Rift Valley wall; the lake is at the base of this dramatic
western escarpment giving it a beautiful and serene setting. In
addition to this peaceful setting, Lake Manyara’s main
attractions are its rich bird life, tree climbing lions and its
hippos, which you can see at a closer range than many other
places. Lake Manyara also hosts thousands of flamingos at
certain times of the year and has diverse vegetation ranging
from savannah, to marshes and acacia woodland, enabling a
variety of wildlife habitats including butterflies.
Day 11 : Lake Manyara -
Serengeti National park

to Serengeti national park. Game is viewed as we proceed to the
campsite for dinner and overnight stay.

drives are offered. Dinner and overnight stay at a campsite.
Serengeti is Africa’s most famous and Tanzania’s largest park
covering 14,736 sq km and is adjoining with the Masai Mara
National reserve in Kenya. With a wildebeest population of about
2 million and several other hoofed species (which include zebra,
Thomson’s gazelle, impala, topi, Grants gazelle, Kongoni, Eland,
Kirk’s dik dik, klipspringer, roan, Oryx, oribi, waterbuck,
buffalo, giraffe and warthog), the Serengeti is sure to attract
a string of prey such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, golden
jackals and bat eared foxes. Elephants are relatively scarce and
the few remaining black rhinoceros are restricted to the Moru
Koppies area.
Serengeti also offers rewarding bird viewing with ostrich and
kori bustard being common, a variety of larks, finches, and
raptors can be seen but the most distinctive small bird is the
lilac breasted roller
Day 13 : Serengeti - Ngorongoro crater
We view game as we drive southeast up into the magnificent
Ngorongoro Conservation .Full afternoon crater tour followed by
dinner and overnight stay at a Simba Campsite by the crater rim.
The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic
caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena.
It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world,
not only because of its geological magnificence, but also
because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some
of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Ngorongoro and
other freestanding mountains are volcanic in origin, formed
during the fracturing process that created the Rift valley 15 to
20 million years ago. When it peaked in size 3 million years ago
it was a similar height to Mt. Kilimanjaro today
Day 14 : Ngorongoro – Tarangire
National park
Early breakfast then break the camp and proceed to Tarangire
national park ; game drives .dinner and overnight stay at a
campsite
- Herds of up to
300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground
streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala,
gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons.
It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the
Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the
one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the
stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk
are regularly observed
