Day 1

place Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

Your driver/guide will meet you at your Nairobi hotel at 7.00 am for a trip briefing before driving through the striking landscape of the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. You'll have lunch at your lodge before setting out on your first game drive. This soda lake, brimming with thousands of flamingos and a large population of hippos, forms the center of the national park but there is a lot more to be discovered in the surrounding area. this is a great location to see both black and white rhino, thanks to its designation as a rhino sanctuary in the 1980s and subsequent efforts to protect the dwindling population of these wonderful animals. Known as a region of scenic beauty, this park also has a robust resident population of lion, leopard, waterbuck, and the endangered Rothschild giraffe with the latter two known to frequent the grounds of various lodges in the park.

Meals: Lunch

After crossing the equator from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere you'll arrive at this volcanic lake that boasts hot springs, frequently erupting geysers, and a huge population of flamingos. After a picnic lunch by the lake you'll continue to Lake Naivasha where you'll check into your lodge, to enjoy dinner alongside the other resident guests that include waterbuck and giraffe. At night hippos often come out of the lake to graze on the lodge grounds so we hope their grunts don't keep you awake.

So famous it hardly needs any introduction, the name Serengeti is a misspelling of the word SIRINGETI which in Maasai language means '' the endless plain" and when you arrive to take in a seemingly infinite vista of grassland dotted with trees, you'll understand why. The Serengeti is teeming with all the wildlife you'd expect to see in Africa and is particularly good for big cat sightings. You can also see leopard, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, hyena, and even on rare occasions, rhino which might complete your encounter with the big five. The famous great migration passes through these vast plains, making it possible for those visiting at the right time to see gigantic herds of wildebeest and Zebra, all being pursued by mighty predators such as lions and crocodiles.

This truly magical place is an almost perfectly circular extinct volcanic caldera. The crater floor, a relatively small yet diverse plain with small forests, streams, and grassland, is encircled by steep mountains that form the crater rim. This natural sanctuary was formed by a massive volcano millions of years ago and bustles with the activity of an estimated 25000 animals. this includes elephants, rhino, lions, leopards, Zebra, large herds of wildebeest,s, and buffalo. Birdlife abounds with fish eagles, secretary birds, Kori bastards, ostrich, and flamingos.

It isn't unusual for visitors to encounter more than 100 species on any given day. Elephant, Giraffe, Leopard, blue monkeys, and wallowing hippos are among the many other residents.
