We’ll arrive in time for brunch and to check-in at your hotel/lodge and drop off your luggage before lunchtime. Your afternoon is free for you to spend to explore the local area or just to rest after a long ride here.
• Lake Nakuru is well known in Kenya as one of the most beautiful and rich lakes of the Great Rift Valley, where you can observe a handful of faunas here. Located at 1.7 km above sea level, the freshwater system here brims with life with the pink flamingos turning the lake into fuchsia being some of the most remarkable sightings. There are also waterbucks, hippopotamuses, and several grazing species such as impalas and giraffes.
• By evening time, we’ll invite you on a safari game drive around here to catch sightings of these animals, and with luck, you might see glimpses of small packs of lions around here. The lush forestry and bushes, the wildlife that flourishes, and just being back to nature; these are things you should never missed in life!

After one hour and 45 minutes, we’ll reach outside the town of Naivasha where another beautiful freshwater lake of the Great Rift Valley can be seen. The name translates in the local Maasai name as “rough water” due to the volatile weather and sudden storms are often observed in this area. It is slightly higher than Lake Nakuru and is seated at 1.8km above sea level.

• We’ll head out by 6.30 AM to catch nocturnal animals going about their life and catching their last prey of the day before retreating back to their nests and burrows. Catching glimpses of these subtle animals can be rather tricky, but it’s still a worthwhile trip as they’re on our way to catch a view of the sunrise. By 8.30 AM, we’ll be back at the camp for a buffet breakfast and we’ll leave you spend the day at your own pace, whether it’s to catch more sleep before lunch or to explore the area around. Lunch takes place at 12.30 PM and if you opted for a full-day game drive, we’ll go on a picnic lunch.
• In between the drives, you get to visit a nearby, local Masai Village at an extra cost. The people of Masai villages are known for their friendliness and with this drive, you get to see what life is like for some of the oldest African Tribes to reside within the valley. The people still practice their traditional way of living among nature, unadulterated by modern-day civilization.
• From the camp, we’ll head out at 4 PM for a game drive through the park to catch glimpses of the games in the afternoon. Masai Mara is a favourite of wildlife enthusiasts especially around July to November when zebras and gnus would cross the area as part of their annual migration.
