This 5-day Kenya Safari explores the best Kenya Parks – Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara National Reserve – on an incredible African wildlife tour.
Accommodation is in comfortable and well-known lodges in prime locations: inside Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Masai Mara and on the shores of Lake Naivasha.
This wonderful safari begins and ends in Nairobi and begins with a visit to the famous 90,000-acre private ranch with magnificent views across the plains to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya.
This game sanctuary is the closest reserve to Nairobi (3.5 hours’ drive) home to all the big five games and has the highest ratio of game-to-area of any park or reserve in Kenya.
Its popular waterhole is floodlit by night, providing excellent and secluded rarely seen game viewing. Game drives at Sweetwaters are indeed a pleasure.
Game viewing may also take the form of game walks accompanied by a resident Naturalist, game rides on horseback, Camel riding, night game drives, and “bush” lunches or dinners. The Chimpanzee Sanctuary is most informative and entertaining and should be visited while in the Game Reserve.
The next destination is Lake Naivasha – a serene freshwater lake that is one of a series of lakes formed by the Great Rift Valley. This beautiful lake is home to exceptional numbers of water birds.
The waters of the lake draw a great range of games to these shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, Buffalo wallow in the swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the Lake’s large hippo populations sleep the day out in the shallows.
The Masai Mara Game Reserve – Kenya’s most famous and finest game sanctuary. In June and July each year, the wildebeests in their troops arrive at the Kenyan border, ready to cross the steep banks of the broad and fast-flowing Mara River.
This crossing is truly the greatest episode of the entire migration. Hot on their heels are the predators of the savannah –lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures. The banks of the Mara River provide one of the best vantage points to witness the drama.
The Mara also offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe and over 450 species of birds have been recorded here. You will most likely see the Big Five- lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant. Not to mention numerous plain animals.
