On this stunning short safari we experience some of the very best that Kenya has to offer. Mt Kenya (5199m) is the second highest mountain in Africa, and Samburu National Reserve is home to wildlife like elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra. Lake Nakuru National Park is famous for over two million flamingos, and its sightings of black and white rhino. Last but not least, the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve is known for it's fascinating tribal Masai people and its density of animals including the 'Big Five' and 453 species of birds. Its all yours to sample in Kenya.

DAYS 6 - 7 Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara National Reserve (290 km - 6 hours)
The famous Masai Mara Game Reserve is known for it's density of animals including the Big Five and 453 species of birds. It is one of the most visited reserves in Africa. This National Reserve's plains are predominantly open savannah, interspersed with patches of Acacia woodland, and along the Mara River, riparian forest. Whilst game viewing is excellent in the Mara all year round, the most popular time to visit is in late July/August where, over one million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra migrate from the Serengeti. The dramatic river crossings are a gruesome spectacle of survival of the fittest. We will set up camp here for two nights. On day 7 we enjoy a full days game drive. We enjoy our last night and dinner around the campfire, listening to the sounds of the open bush. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
