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. Dinner and overnight stay at Lake Nakuru Lodge or Flamingo Hill Tented Camp.

Full days in the Masai Mara dedicated to morning and afternoon safaris. We’ll visit different areas of the Masai Mara, such as Paradise Plain, Meta Plains, and Burrungant. We’ll visit the Mara River area where the crossings take place, where herbivores pass through during their migration. Our guide will keep a close watch for vultures circling overhead, as they can signal the presence of predators feeding on recent prey.
