Days. DAY
1
We shall leave Nairobi and head for the Masai Mara National reserve, stopping
for a picnic lunch enroute.
We shall arrive in time for an evening game drive before retiring for
the night.
DAY 2 AND 3
The second day will be a full day game viewing with picnic lunch during
the tour drive.Masai Mara is an outstanding reserve with abundant wildlife
and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure the animals are never out of
sight.
The climate is gentle , rarely too hot and well spread rainfall throughout
the year.
The first sight of this natural wonderland is mind blowing. Here the great
herds of shuffling elephants browse the rich tree studded grasslands,
with an occasional sighting of a solitary and ill-tempered rhino.The Thompson's
and gant's gazelles, topi, eland and many more species of the plain's
game offer a rich variety of food for the dominant predators here i.e.
the lion, the leopard, the cheetah and many more.
You will not miss a hippo submerged in the Mara river or the seemingly
drowsy crocodile waiting for it's prey.
The following day will also be spent in the Mara but with a lunch break.
DAY 4
We shall leave the Mara and head for Lake Baringo where we shall spend
the night.Lake Baringo lies in the solitude of the semi-desert,a haven
of peace and beauty in harsh, rugged but majestic surroundings.The hippo
and the crocodile are plentiful and are considered harmless by the locals
who fish next to them.
But visitors are more entranced by the multitude of birds. Birdwatching
on foot or by boat is only one of the several leisure activities. Others
include, fishing, water sports or a visit to the Njemp village where traditional
crafts and activities are enjoyed.
DAY 5
We shall leave Baringo for Lake Bogoria National Reserve nearby. The spectacle
of flamingoes and other birds abound the lake is a sublime of magnificence.
Game is far from plentiful bit this is the most likely place to photograph
the greater Kudu.
After spending the day here with a picnic lunch, we shall leave and head
for Lake Nakuru National park, commonly referred to as the "pink
lake".
It is world famous as the location of the pink flamingoes which flock
the lake in millions, It also the home of a variety of wildlife.
We shall spend the night here.
DAY 6
After a morning game drive, we shall leave for the Aberdares for an overnight
stay at the luxurious Ark tree top lodge situated in the lush forest of
the Aberdares.
The Aberdares is a mountain range rich in wild life- the elephant, the
rhino, the warthog, the bushpig, the duiker, the sunio, the dikdik, the
sykes monkey, the colombus monkey etc.
The Carnivores are represented by the lion, usually more hairy and spotted
than in the plains, the leopard,and the birds are not only plentiful but
dazzling.
