Masai Mara's Wildlife
The Masai Mara reserve is Kenya's most popular game park
in Kenya. Masai mara hosts an amazing concentration of
wildlife. You are guaranteed to see the Big 5.
Lions abound throughout the park as do leopards,
cheetah, hyenas, giraffe, impala, wildebeest, topi,
baboons, warthogs, buffalo, zebra, elephants, and of
course hippos and crocodiles in the Mara River.
Lake Nakuru
Nakuru provides the visitor with one of Kenya’s best
known images. Thousands of flamingo, joined into a
massive flock, fringe the shores of this soda lake. A
pulsing pink swathe of life that carpets the water, the
flamingo are a breathtaking sight.
The lake has become world famous for these birds, who
visit the lake to feed on algae that forms on the lake
bed. They move back and forth, feeding and occasionally
and spectacularly taking to flight, filling the sky over
the lake with colour. The lake is extremely variable in
size- changing from 5 up to 30 sq kms in area.
Nakuru has more than just flamingos. This is a major
National Park and an important sanctuary for Rhino. Both
Black and White Rhino are found here, and are often seen
resting under acacias by the Lake shore.

7 Days Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru -
Samburu Lodge Safari |
7 Days Masai mara / Lake Nakuru / Samburu
Day 1: Nairobi - Masai Mara
After breakfast, we will pick you up from
your Nairobi hotel and thereafter depart for
Masai Mara Game Reserve via the viewpoint of
the Great Rift Valley, lunch enroute. Arrive
in time for an evening game drive in this
pristine, unequalled ‘big game country’.
Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Day 2: Masai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with
your guide, after an early breakfast. The
Mara’s landscape is scenic savannah
grassland on rolling hills, which enables
the reserve to attract sufficient rainfall
to maintain and support a large population
of herbivores, together with the predators
that follow. Elephant, lion, buffalo can be
seen with relative ease though luck is a
necessary factor for spotting rhino and
leopard that complete the big five as the
two animals are very timid and sparsely
numbered. Plains game like wildebeest, zebra
and Masai giraffe abound as well as hippos
and a wide variety of antelopes including
impala, dik dik, hartebeest, Grant’s gazelle
and Thompson’s gazelle among others. We will
cater for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool.
In the evening, return to the lodge for
dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Masai Mara
After breakfast, another morning of tracking
game with your guide in this reserve which
borders Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park
and is the annual seasonal scene of the
migration of close to 800,000 zebra and
wildebeest that occurs between the two
parks. Lunch at the lodge. In the afternoon
there is a choice between a game drive and a
nature walk escorted by our armed Masai
guides. At extra cost you may visit a local
Masai village to see their nomadic
lifestyle; the Masai are famous for their
bravery, as they have co-existed with the
animals over the years. All meals and
overnight at the lodge.
Day 4: Masai Mara - Nakuru
After breakfast, leave Masai Mara for Nakuru
with a stop for lunch enroute, with scenic
views of Lake Naivasha and
Mt. Longonot, which are in the Great Rift
from afar on the main highway.
Dinner and overnight at the lodge
Day 5: Lake Nakuru - Samburu
After breakfast a morning game drive will
follow in Lake Nakuru National Park, the
abode of various water birds that breed in
the lake’s salty water including flamingos,
white pelicans and marabou stork; white
rhino may be seen as well as the rare
Rothschild’s giraffe, cape buffalo and other
plains game in this park that is 188 square
kilometres. Depart for Samburu Game Reserve
for dinner and overnight at the lodge via
the Thompson Falls, which are named after
Joseph Thompson, one of the first European
explorers who walked from Mombasa to Lake
Victoria in the 1880’s.
Lunch and game drive enroute.
Day 6: Samburu
Morning and afternoon game-viewing sessions
tracking the rare, drought resistant animals
species which can only be seen north of the
equator; these are: the reticulated giraffe,
grevy’s zebra, the gerenuk or
giraffe-gazelle, Beisa Oryx and the blue
shanked Somali ostrich. The Ewaso Nyiro
River traverses this park, it’s source being
the Aberdare ranges. There are therefore
very high chances of spotting crocodile in a
natural environment though its water level
varies seasonally. You will have a lunch and
leisure break in the mid afternoon. Rest of
meals and overnight at the lodge.
Day 7: Samburu - Nairobi
After breakfast, depart Samburu for Nairobi,
lunch enroute, with scenic views of Mt.
Kenya’s peak if the weather permits. Very
pleasant countryside with tea and coffee
plantations will be by-passed enroute to
Nairobi. Arrive in the evening.
