Day 2. Lake Nakuru
After breakfast, we’ll depart for Lake Nakuru. We’ll arrive in Nakuru before lunch and then go on a safari until sunset. We’ll find ourselves in a world-renowned birding paradise where well-known TV networks such as the BBC, CNN, and TVE—to name a few—gather to film the wonderful documentaries we later see on screen. Nakuru is a sanctuary for the white rhinoceros and home to a wide variety of animals, including lions, leopards, and its famous flamingos. If the lake level permits, we can stroll along the shore and delight our senses with the sounds and colors of the lake and its more than 400 species of birds.

During the boat safari, with a little luck, we’ll be able to spot hippos, fish eagles, and other wildlife. Scenes from *Out of Africa* were filmed in this area. "

We then head to the Masai Mara National Reserve, considered by many to be the world’s premier wildlife reserve. Hundreds of thousands of mostly herbivorous animals, along with a wide array of predators and scavengers, roam freely across its rolling hills and vast grasslands, drawn by the lush pastures and year-round water sources. In the afternoon, we go on a safari until sunset. Meals and lodging at Mara Maisha Camp, Basecamp Explorer, Loyk Mara Luxury Camp, or Mara Zebra Plains.

Day 4. Masai Mara
A full day in the Masai Mara dedicated to morning and afternoon game drives. We will visit different areas of the Masai Mara, such as Paradise Plain, Meta Plains, and Burrungant. We will visit the Mara River area where the crossings occur, where herbivores pass during their migration. Our guide will keep a close eye on the vultures circling overhead, as they can signal the presence of predators feeding on recent prey. Optionally, you can visit a Masai Manyata. We’ll see their huts, enjoy their welcome dances, and share experiences with young warriors, women, and elders regarding livestock and hunting. We recommend bringing a picnic lunch to explore more areas of the savanna (at no additional cost). Meals and accommodation at Mara Maisha Camp, Basecamp Explorer, Loyk Mara Luxury Camp, or Mara Zebra Plains.
