Masai
Mara & Lake Nakuru National Park (4 Days/3 Nights)
Kenya Safari
Masai
Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park 4 Days /3 Nights
safari starts with the Masai Mara - Kenya's finest
and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle
rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of
sight. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well
spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great
wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled.
The wildlife is far from being confined within the
Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends
beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association
with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic
relationship where wildlife and Masai people live
in peace with one another.
The
first sight of this Park is breathtaking. There is
nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife
marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic
splendor and untold numbers of wildlife makes the
Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland
destination.
Lake
Nakuru National Park is dominated by a gentle undulating
terrain with open bush and woodlands, typical of the
dry rift valley vegetation. Twenty seven percent (27%)
of the park is composed of the Lake Nakuru waters.
The Park was declared a rhino sanctuary in 1983. The
Rhino stocking programme which ensued received white
rhinos from South Africa. Currently the sanctuary
has approximately 45 black and 31 white rhinoceros.

Discover Masai Mara Game Reserve
The search
for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues
today during extensive game runs. On the plains are
enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive
cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs. During
our stay we also have an optional opportunity to visit
a village of the Masai people to witness the singing
and dancing that are part of their daily lives and
sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social
structure is a poignant experience.
