Kenya safari (6 days /5 nights)

EB.111: PROGRAM (6 days /5 nights – Kenya safari, Option 4)

Kenya is a country in East Africa with coastline on the Indian Ocean. It encompasses savannah, lakelands, the dramatic Great Rift Valley and mountain highlands . It’s also home to wildlife like lions, elephants and rhinos. From Nairobi, the capital, safaris visit the Maasai Mara Reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migrations, and Amboseli National Park, offering views of Tanzania’s 5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro

Day 1: Arrival – Nairobi

You will be met upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport(Kenya Airport) by our representative once you finalize with immigration. Please look for the paging board that he will be holding as agreed.
Thereafter, you will be transferred to your city Hotel for check in.

Kenya’s capital city has risen in a single century from a brackish uninhabited swampland to a thriving
modern capital. Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of Africa, but the modern world has quickly
caught up with the city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi is one of Africa’s largest, and most interesting cities.

Nairobi is a city that never seems to sleep. The entire town has a boundless energy, and is a thriving place where all of human life can be found. This is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin all become facets of a unique Nairobi character. The city has not lost its sense of the past, with an excellent museum and the historical home of Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, open to visitors. This is not a modern capital separated from the great wilderness that surrounds it.

Just outside the city is Nairobi National Park, 113 sq. km of plains, cliffs and forest. The park is home
to large herds of zebras, Wildebeest, Buffalo, giraffes and more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number
of Lions are all found here, living wild within 20 minutes of the Centre of town.

No activity scheduled for this day. Rest of the day is spent at leisure overnight at the town hotel in
Nairobi. Dinner will be payable directly.

This afternoon you will visit the traditional Maasai Manyatta for cultural experience. An evening

Reserve covers over 700 square miles of magnificent wilderness. It is the Africa Of the imagination;
endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands studded with hazy hills. Be on the lookout hoping to see

Day 3: Masai Mara Game Reserve

This day will be spent game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve in
search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve.
On clear days, the Masai Mara offers fantastic orange tinged sunset’s well-worth capturing on camera. The Masai Mara Game Reserve has incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya.

One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal ; it is classical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see an abundance of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest.

Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the wild plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.

The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and
August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

Hot-air balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains teeming with wildlife.
These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at extra cost.

Day 4: Masai Mara Game Reserve – Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast you will proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park arriving at your Lodge /camp in time
for lunch. There is time to relax after lunch before departing for an afternoon game drive in the park.
Lake Nakuru National Park is best known for its migrating flamingos and its large flocks of pelicans,
however, recently the lake’s rising water levels has reduced the salinity of water in the lake thereby
reducing algae, the main food for flamingos.

When this happens the migrating flamingos move to Lake Bogoria. There are over 450 bird species at the lake and a thriving mammal population including buffalos, baboons, impalas, Rothschild giraffes, bush backs and waterbucks. A rhino sanctuary was established to protect this highly endangered species. The parkland surrounding the Lake has acacia and euphorbia forests as well as areas of grassland and rocky cliffs.
Later in the evening you will return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
