5 Days Photographic Safari to Masai Mara , Lake Nakuru National Park

Day 1: Leave Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve

Pick up and descend the floor of the Rift Valley, and drive on via the township of Narok, which is in the heart of Maasai land and on to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. This park offers wonderful scenery and plenty of game. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge / camp followed by a short rest. In the afternoon leave the lodge for the first afternoon game drive to the Mara River, which takes us through several territories of leopard, cheetah, black rhino and lions so chances of sightings on route are pretty good.  Upon reaching the river, we will walk with the rangers along the river as we aim to photograph crocodiles and hippos on foot. At the end of the day we will return to the lodge/ camp for dinner and overnight;
Mara Manyatta Camp or Mara Sidai Camp/ Mara Sopa Lodge or Sentrim Mara Tented Camp/
Keekorok Lodge or Mara Bush Camp or Sarova Mara Tented Camp

Day 2: Masai Mara Exploration

After breakfast, you will go for a full day spent viewing and exploring this spectacular National Park. Wherever you go in the Maasai Mara, you will see an astonishing amount of wildlife. Of the big cats, lions are found in large prides everywhere. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but are still fairly common. Other common animals include Maasai giraffes, baboons, Warthogs, bat-eared foxes, Grey jackals, and matriarchal clans of spotted hyenas. Meals and overnight (As above).

After leaving the Masai village, we will drive across the Athi Plains to Amboseli National Park game viewing en route to your lodge. This park is the second most popular park in Kenya after Masai Mara, mainly due to the spectacular backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the southern boundary.

Kilimanjaro providing a majestic back drop to the peaceful grazing animals on the plains. You may find elephant, Cape buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe and the graceful cheetah. Bird life in Amboseli is prolific and the scenery a remarkable contrast of arid scrub-land and lush grasses by the swamps.
