Great Rift Short Safari
Locations of interest: Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasai Mara
Duration: 3 nights, 4 days
Day 1: Nakuru
The start of your safari experience is Nakuru, which means “Dust or Dusty Place” in the Maasai language. Lake Nakuru National Park, found within the Lake Nakuru National Park is usually home to millions of flamingoes – a bird lover’s haven. This park was established in 1961 and is home to the Black Rhino and Rothschild giraffe, both of which are endangered species. Overnight at the lodge (B,L,D)
Day 2: Maasai Mara
Kenya is definitely the home of the original safari. Even as you head out towards the Mara, you will begin to feel the wild with sightings of animals around. Arrive in time for lunch and check-in before heading out for your first game drive at 1600hrs. If lucky you will get an opportunity to see the ‘King’ of the Jungle among other species such as Elephants, Buffalos, Rhinos, the elusive Leopard and several herbivores unique to this region such as the Topi. Overnight at the lodge (B,L,D)
Day 3: Maasai Mara
From the runways of Milan to Paris, Maasai influence is felt far and wide as is evident in several designers’ collections like the famous Louis Vuitton. On this day you get to explore the Maasai Mara on a full day game drive. Marvel at the beauty of the hills and the plains, not forgetting the Maasai people whose beautiful clothes and beadwork will inspire you. Would it not be magnificent if you owned a piece of the Maasai culture? Well, not to worry you get an opportunity to observe and buy their dresses, beadwork and art. Overnight at the lodge (B,L,D)
Day 4: Nairobi
Sadly this marks the end of your safari. Check out after breakfast and drive back to Nairobi. You will be transferred to the airport to catch your international flight.
