After breakfast we depart on our safari adventure.  Drive to the world famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve arriving in time for lunch.  Maasai Mara, Kenya’s greatest wildlife reserve, is without a doubt Africa’s most famous safari destination. The Maasai Mara Ecosystem is where over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate annually.  It also holds one of the highest lion densities in the world, which is why it the home of the BBC wildlife channel’s Big Cat Diary.  Other game includes: leopard, cheetah, buffalo, rhino, elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, plains game, crocodile and small mammals including mongoose, hyrax, dik dik and the nocturnal porcupine.  Enjoy a late afternoon walk up to the escarpment where you can enjoy a spectacular view over the reserve.

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Spend a full day game driving in the Maasai Mara. The abundance and variety of game in this reserve is nothing short of amazing. Nearly every mammal can be seen in the Maasai Mara, including various antelopes, scavengers like hyena and vultures, and all the cats (lion, cheetah and leopard).  Sighting a leopard needs luck more than just being there, but lions are abundant and there are excellent chances for spotting cheetah. The hippo pool is a popular spot to watch out for hippos; with luck, you may catch crocodile basking on the rocks. Elephants, buffalo, the Maasai giraffe, wildebeest and the common zebra abound. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Start the day with an optional early morning hot air balloon flight, including a full champagne breakfast in the savannah. On the way to Lake Naivasha, visit a nearby Maasai village to see their nomadic lifestyle.  In the afternoon there is the option to take high tea at Elsamere, where Joy and George Adamson once lived.  Joy and George spent much of their lives working with lions and studying their behaviour.  Elsa was the most famous lion, about whom the movie "Born Free" was about.  Elsamere looks out over Lake Naivasha, providing a beautiful setting to enjoy afternoon tea.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

One option to spend the day is cycling or walking in Hells Gate National Park.  This park is famous for its geological formations and has very few predators so it is a perfect location to enjoy a safari with a difference: on a bicycle!  Later in the day there are other options such as taking a boat trip to Crescent Island, sailing on Lake Oloiden, or taking a walk in the village and up to a lookout to survey the lake and its surrounds.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

You may choose to start the day with a walking safari in Wileli Conservancy. This is one of the few parks without predators, so it is safe to walk. You will have a rare opportunity to stand close to giraffes, zebra, antelope, flamingos and warthogs.  Our drive to Lake Baringo takes us through the main honey-producing region of Kenya.

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

With 450 species of birds, Lake Baringo is a birdwatcher’s paradise.  You can begin the morning boating on the lake to get the best bird viewing opportunities.  The lake is serene at this time of day and the peace takes all your cares away.  Later in the day there is the opportunity to go on a nature walk or a bird watching walk with a local guide.
