Kenya Safari 7 Days/ 6 Nights Tour

On arrival, we meet with those not travelling on the group flight at our hotel in Nairobi. We drive north to the edge of the escarpment over the Rift Valley before descending into the valley and running parallel to Lake Naivasha and Lake Elementaita, arriving at Lake Nakuru after approximately three and a half hours.The national park (285 km sq) is world-renowned for its (dwindling) flamingo population made famous by Denys Finch Hatton's flight over it in the film 'Out of Africa'. Nakuru is also the best place in East Africa for White rhino and it is not unusual to see at least a dozen in a day. Coupled with this, there is a healthy buffalo population, many other plains game and frequent leopard sightings.After lunch at the lodge there is time to relax at the pleasant hotel swimming pool or you can opt for an afternoon game drive

Early start today with a morning game drive through the park, on which we hope to see many plains game including gazelle, impala and giraffe. We will also be on the look-out for predators as well as unique bird life. Lunch is taken at the lodge, and the afternoon is free to relax with afternoon tea. We will go out on a second game drive in the afternoon, heading back to the lodge at dusk.

A long (approx. 7.5hrs including stops), beautiful and bumpy drive to the Mara on which we stop for a rest and to eat our picnic lunch in Narok (lunch at own expense). We will arrive in the Mara mid to late afternoon and do game drive en route to camp. This is the first of several game drives in this remarkable game area. During time off you can relax in your private tents, the lounge tent or watch game go by from the deck of your tent.

f you fancy a lie-in one day or an optional nature walk, this can easily be arranged.The Masai Mara is one of the most famous ecosystems in the world. This vast grassland is teeming with life; plains game including wildebeest, gazelle, topi, zebra and buffalo abound in the rolling savannah, and never far away lay the predators; cheetah, lion and hyena. Between mid-August to late October one of the greatest spectacles on Earth takes place in the Masai Mara - the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra trampling their way across the long grass.

Nothing is guaranteed on safari, but with the help of our brilliant guides you should see and learn a huge amount about the Masai Mara's resident wildlife during our game drives.As a climax, there is the also the option of taking a sunrise balloon ride over the African plains .

After a final early morning game drive, we leave after breakfast heading back towards Nairobi. A picnic lunch will be taken en route. We spend our last night in Nairobi.

The trip ends today in Nairobi. Those on the group flights will be taken this morning to the airport for their flight back.
