Safari Overview

5-days-masai-mara

Masai Mara National Reserve offers breathtakingly beautiful landscapes and unrivalled game viewing all year round. It is home to Africa’s Big Five – elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino – and also hosts high concentrations of big cats. This makes for spectacular predator/prey interactions: witnessing this heart-stopping wildlife action first-hand is visceral.

Lake Nakuru has always been considered a flamingo lake par excellence. The contrast and apparent dislocation between the shallow soda lake with its primeval birds and the animated woods all around it give Lake Nakuru National Park a very distinctive appeal. The park also provides a sanctuary for the rhino.

Experience the breathtaking view of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, as you drive down of the world’s greatest land rift, to arrive in Lake Nakuru.
