Days. DAY
1, 2 AND 3
We shall drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Park stopping for
a picnic lunch on the way.
We shall arrive in time for an evening game drive and some sight seeing
before retiring for the night at the Kairi campsite.
The wild life is far from confined within the reserve. The Thompson's
and Gant's gazelle, topi, eland and many more species of the plain's game
offer a rich choice of food for the dominant predators: the lion, leopard
and cheetah which hunt in this pristine wilderness .
In the Mara river be sure to catch the hippo or the seemingly drowsy crocodile
waiting with subtle cunning for prey at which to strike at with lightning
swiftness.
Ever heard of the great march of the wildebeest. it is estimated that
more than half a million wildebeest enter the Mara and are joined by another
100,000 from the east of Mara, trekking to the Kenyan border.
There is nowhere on earth to compare this wildlife marvel. Driving in
the midst of this herds is an unimaginable experience.
The next two days will be spent game viewing and sight seeing in this
natural wonderland.
All meals and overnight stays at the Park.

the night. A picnic lunch will be served on the way

National park.
Lake Nakuru , quite oftenly referred to as the “pink lake”
is world famous as the location of the greatest bird spectacle on earth
– myriad’s of fuschia pink flamingos whose numbers are legion
often more than a million maybe two. The lake is also rich in other bird

There are over 400 resident species on the lake.

close relatives of the Maasai people. A picnic lunch will be served on

The park harbors a number of wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in
any large numbers. These include the Grevy's gazelle, the reticulated
giraffe and the Beisia orynx, all species only found north of the equator.
The Ewaso Ngiro river which rises some hundreds of kilometers to the west
is fringed with giant acacias and offers shade and sustenance to wildlife
that comes to the river.
Elephants find solace and contentment from the river and can be found
bathing and drinking in a spectacle of unconscious pleasure.
