Mara And The Lakes
DAY 1: LAKE BOGORIA NATIONAL RESERVE
We
start our safari by driving to Lake Bogoria. Although there's plenty of
wildlife in and around Lake Bogoria, it tends to make itself scarce, with the
exception of the flamingos at the hot springs. Most animals - including
buffalo, hyena, klipspringer, impala, dik-dik, zebra, warthog and Grant's
gazelle - prefer the remote and inaccessible eastern shore, though you may see
greater kudu just about anywhere. The flamingos, for some curious reason -
possibly chemical - tend to flock in their greatest numbers to the shallows on
the western shore, where the hot springs flow into the lake (they appear immune
to the heat). The Bogoria fish eagles have made a gruesome adjustment to their
fierce, fishless environment: they prey on flamingos. Other birds to look out
for include avocets, transitory pelicans and migratory steppe eagles.
Dinner
and overnight at campsite or lodge.
DAY 2: LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK
An
early morning pick up then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the
equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the rift valleys most famous lake Nakuru.
Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as
being one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino
sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos,
but the flamingoes, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times
there may be almost 2million flamingoes in the residence, forming a stunningly
beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore. Arrive in time for
lunch then have an afternoon game drive.
Dinner
and overnight at campsite or lodge.
DAY 3: LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK -
MASAI MARA
An
early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve, it holds on as one of the
few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed,
in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the
northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular
seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant
predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive.
Dinner
and overnight at campsite or lodge.
DAY 4 AND 5: MASAI MARA
Full
days of game drive in Mara. After breakfast we have a full day dame drive, with
packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as
well as its abundant resident wildlife and its one of the few places where it's
possible to see the big five during a morning's game drive. Many of the
cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and
several even climb onto the roof to get better view of prospective prey. For
the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16
species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species
of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying
bird), and 9 species of sun birds.
Dinner
and overnight at campsite or lodge.
DAY 6: MASAI MARA - NAIROBI
We
wake up at 6am for a sun rise game drive. At 9am, we drive back to
accommodation for brunch then depart for Nairobi. Lunch en-route and arrival in
Nairobi at late afternoon.
This
tour can depart any day of the year.
