Transition from the sheer cliffs of the Rift Valley escarpment to the endless horizons of the Mara in an expedition designed for maximum wildlife diversity. By visiting these two distinct ecosystems, you increase your chances of seeing the full Big Five alongside rare Rothschild giraffes and vast pods of hippos. It is an ideal route for travelers who want to experience the dramatic geographical shifts that make Kenya a world leader in nature tourism.
Leave the hustle of Nairobi behind and descend the escarpment for breathtaking views of the valley floor. Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park for lunch and an evening game drive. Explore the acacia forests and the lake’s edge, famous for its resident rhinos and leopards.
Start with an en route morning drive along the lake before heading south toward the Masai Mara. Traverse through scenic Maasai land and arrive at your camp or lodge in time for lunch. Embark on your first evening Mara game drive to witness the sheer scale of the plains and its resident wildlife.
Spend a full, uninterrupted day in the heart of the Masai Mara with packed lunch boxes or morning and evening game drives. With a private 4x4 at your disposal, you can venture deep into the reserve to track the Big Cats and other widlife.
Breakfast, and then begin the journey back to Nairobi. You will arrive in the late afternoon for drop-off at your residence, Nairobi hotel, or the airport.
