Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara
At 8:00 a.m. you will be picked up from your hotel or residency in Nairobi and commence the drive to Maasai Mara via the Great Rift Valley view point where you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the floor of the rift valley. You will have a lunch picnic on the way. In the afternoon, after you check in, you will depart for a game drive. Dinner will be at AA Lodge.
Maasai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest migration alone involves over one and a half million animals arriving in July and departing in November. The phenomenal wildebeest migration, which is a spectacular event only seen in Maasai Mara, is one of the wonders of the world.
Day 2: Full day game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve
Spend the full day exploring Maasai Mara in search of the big five. You will have a picnic lunch in the reserve as you scale the Mara beauty sited on the banks of Mara River.
In the evening, you will have the option to visit the local Maasai village for a Maasai cultural tour for 20 USD per person. Learn about the Maasai community and interact with the local Maasai people. A balloon safari at 380 USD per person (optional) can be organized early in the morning on this day.
Then you will proceed with the normal program.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna, lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
Day 3: Depart Maasai Mara for Lake Nakuru
You will enjoy your early morning breakfast. Thereafter, commence the drive to Lake Nakuru. Overnight is at Lanet Matfam.
Day 4: Lake Nakuru to Nairobi
You will have an early breakfast and depart by 7:00 a.m. straight for the park. It's a small park with magnificent, rare white rhinos which form part of the big five animals. There is also a possibility to see pink flamingos. The game drive lasts for three hours, after which you depart on a three-hour drive back to Nairobi. You will be dropped off to your hotel or residency in Nairobi.
Note: Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris have a large number of cars and guides with the possibility of leasing more cars, so they can also handle a big group.
