Your first stop at the Samburu National Reserve presents unusual species like Grevy’s Zebra and the reticulated giraffe. There’s also plenty of big game here such as lion, leopard, cheetah and buffalo. The reserve is home to the Samburu people whose villages dot the landscape.
Perhaps one of the most unique parks and certainly your most unique lodging is at your next stop, Aberdare National Park. Amidst upcountry rainforest and waterfalls, you’ll be staying at a tree hotel! From your balcony you’ll look out on the park’s wildlife of black rhino, elephant, Cape buffalo, Bongo antelope and much more.
Then we’ll turn and head south to the Rift Valley lakes of Nakuru and Naivasha. Lake Nakuru National Park is a most versatile reserve, home to exotic birds like flamingoes but also a great population of endangered rhinos. Nearby Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks are a safari treat where we’ll visit the birds and wildlife by jeep, boat, foot, and even bicycle! After our boat safari across the lake, we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of Crescent Island Game Sanctuary and then take a bicycle ride to Hell’s Gate National Park to get up close to zebra, gazelle, antelope, zebra, and buffalo.
But for game viewing of an even higher order, our final destination, Masa Mara National Reserve is in a class by itself – world-class. This is Kenya’s most popular wildlife park, hosting an unusually large number of big cats. During the migrating season, you’ll see great trains of wildebeest and zebra stretching off to the horizon, a never to be forgotten sight.

Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dots the lake.
The few quantities of flamingos are accompanied by other birdlife – pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy and full of color.

We’ve planned this 8-day safari to give you lots of time explore the rolling hills and acacia tree- dotted plains of the Masai Mara.
One of the most unique properties of the Mara is that this ecosystem has the highest concentration of wildlife in this region of Africa. Besides the Big Five, we’ll be looking for gazelle, topi, eland, plus great quantities of birdlife – kingfisher, stork, guinea fowl and plenty of raptors.
You may also see stunning hordes of wildebeests and zebra throughout the park during the Great Migration (July – October). This is the time when uncountable numbers of these grazers invade the park, crossing the Mara River, searching for sustenance.
We’ll take a picnic lunch near the river looking for hippos and crocodiles. And if it is the migration season, look for the vast influx of wildlife streaming into the Mara.
