Lake Nakuru National Park

Located in the Great Rift Valley surrounded by yellow acacia woodlands and bushy shrublands, the Lake Nakuru National Park was created to protect the Lake and its large flocks of Lesser Flamingo, which are drawn to the algae that flourish in the saline waters of this soda lake. The national park is inhabited by over 50 mammal species including hippo, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo and eland. Known as a bird watcher's paradise, the park is home to over 450 bird species. Visitors can look forward to hiking through the scenic landscape, picnicking next to this magnificent lake, and spotting an array of wildlife on a game drive. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the beautiful Makalia Waterfall.

The Park was created in 1968 to protect the huge flocks of the lesser flamingo that breed and nest at the edge of Lake Nakuru, giving it the characteristic pink rim. Located at an altitude of 4,000-5,767 feet above sea level, the park covers 188 square kilometres of land, of great ecological diversity - from lake waters, woodlands and bush grasslands - to rocky ridges. It is home to not just the lesser flamingo, but also to over 400 species of birds, and one of the few places that one would be able to encounter the endangered white rhino. Other wildlife at the park includes lions, leopards, zebras, gazelles, eland, giraffe and the hyrax.

Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara, together with Tanzania's Serengeti form Africa's most famous wildlife park - the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomises Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration, traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large prides of lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost an essential experience.

Day Itinerary

After breakfast, you will depart for the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.  Lunch will be served at the Sarova Mara Game Lodge, and thereafter you will enjoy a game drive - en route to Mara Serena Lodge.  Upon arrival, you will check in and have a short rest before dinner.

Accommodation: Dinner and Overnight-stay at Mara Serena Safari Lodge.

Overnight-stay: Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Secreted deep within the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill, embraced by arcing vistas and washed by a sea of richly rolling grasslands, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa's most exquisite wildlife arenas, and has a ringside seat for the greatest wildlife show on Earth - the legendary migration of the wildebeest. Drawing its inspiration from the traditional Maasai cultural motif of a cluster of domed, mud-coloured huts, encircled by a "Boma" of brushwood, the Mara Serena offers a rare blend of raw African splendour and sumptuous sophistication. The essentially ethnic décor also draws on a vibrant colour-palette of sun-burst colours, embellished by a unique selection of Maasai art - to create the look and feel of a traditional bush encampment. The lodge features individual rooms, each with their own balcony and view of eternity, a sky-blue swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant, overlooking a water hole where a fantasia of creatures assembles to drink.
