L. Nakuru-Maasai Mara
 Day
1:
Head north to the dramatic semi-arid scrubland of the Northern Frontier.
After lunch, an afternoon game drive to sight resident wildlife species
like the Reticulated Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, Beisa Oryx and the blue-necked
Somali Ostrich that are rare elsewhere in the
country. Dinner and the night will be spent along the banks of the Uaso
Nyiro River at one of the luxurious Samburu lodges.

Further exploration of this fascinating reserve awaits you. Early morning
and afternoon game drives give a chance to travel over some
of the world's most spectacular and exciting terrain. Meals and overnight
at the lodge.
Day 3:
After breakfast, depart for the Mt Kenya region. Lunch will be at a base
hotel from where you will be transferred to your tree lodge. Enjoy the unique
experience of all night and unlimited game viewing. Dinner and overnight
at a tree lodge surrounded by forest and
overlooking an illuminated waterhole and salt lick.
Day 4:
After breakfast, transfer to base hotel for onward journey to Nakuru. Arrive
in time for lunch. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National
Park. The park provides a sanctuary for the rhino. 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. Dinner and overnight at a lodge over looking the lake.

drive to get a closer look at the Mara. Returns to an archetypal Mara lodge/tented
camp for sundowners, dinner and overnight stay.

Awaken to the sounds of the big game country and venture out to absorb the
enormity of the Mara. In this country of breathtaking vistas, view its vast
assemblages of plains game together with their associated predators: Buffalo,
Black Rhino, Hippopotamus, Leopard, Cheetah, Common Zebra, Coke's Hartebeest,
White bearded Gnu, Oribi, Warthog, and Thompson's and Grant's Gazelles.
An early evening game drive to catch up on all that was missed. All meals
and overnight stay at the lodge.
