Early morning pick up and safari briefing by our representative. Board your van and depart to Lake Elementaita. The lake attracts many visiting flamingoes and the shores are grazed by zebra, gazelle, eland, and families of warthog. At the southern end of the Lake lies the “Kekopey” hot springs, which the Tilapia grahami breed. The springs are very popular for bathing, as the local Maasai’s claim that it can cure many diseases. The reed beds nearby are fishing grounds for night herons and pelicans.
Accommodation: Setrim Lake Elementeita Lodge
After breakfast, you will check out of the lodge and drive towards the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve, via the beautiful savannah grasslands and plains in the Great Rift Valley, magnificent views of Mt. Suswa, Mt. Margaret, and Mt. Longonot.
This game reserve is among the 9 wonders of the world and is a renowned tourist destination in Kenya, famous for the wildebeest migration along the Mara River. The river is full of Crocodiles and hippos which traverse the Mara. The reserve has high proportions of wildlife and above all one is sure to spot a pride of lions resting or hovering in the fantastic woodland savannah grassland, and also the big five. Other animals expected include; hyenas, antelopes, topis, dik-dik, and zebras among others. We will enter the park via the Eastern park gate of Sekenani. We will enjoy a short game drive as we head to our pre-booked lodge/camp for dinner and overnight.
Accommodation: Nalepomara Lodge / Ol Moran Camp
After breakfast at the camp, you will explore the park’s amazingly high concentration of game. A full day game drives with a picnic lunch at the Mara River as you enjoy the scenic view of the crocodiles resting on the brown-muddy river banks. The rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara offer ideal game viewing and photographic opportunities and the grassy plains are broken by rocky outcrops which are favorite midday resting places for Lion.
This is where millions of Wildebeest cross the Mara River from the Serengeti National park of Tanzania to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve of Kenya – an annual spectacular event, which brings along thousands of plains game and predators to the Mara, making the park a beehive of ‘wildlife activities’. Late afternoon can be spared for a visit to the Maasai village to be enlightened on the Maasai culture and perhaps enjoy a Maasai cultural dance.
