Lake Naivasha is the highest of the Rift Valley Lakes and despite having no outlet is one of only two Rift Valley freshwater lakes. Masai MaraMasai Mara The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomises Africa for many, and then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conservation.
A warm welcome to Kenya! Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport/From your city hotel, you will be greeted by our representative and briefed about your safari holiday. Soon after, depart with your driver for north-west towards Naivasha, a market town in Nakuru County to begin your Rift Valley adventure. Lake Naivasha Country Club is set on the shores of Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus. Arrive at the lodge in time for lunch. The lake and its surroundings are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya’s prime agricultural regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow barked Acacia Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound with bird life, and Naivasha is known as a world class birding destination. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, Buffalo wallow in the swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lake's large hippo population sleep the day out in the shallows. The region surrounding the Lake is well worth exploring. There are two more smaller lakes nearby, Oloidien, and Sonachi, a bright green crater lake.

After your morning breakfast, begin the Rift Valley adventure of the second day with an hour's drive with packed picnic lunch to Nakuru town for a day trip at Lake Nakuru National Park. On the floor of the Great Rift Valley, surrounded by wooded and bushy grassland, lies the beautiful Lake Nakuru National Park. The name of both a large soda lake and the national park that surrounds it, Lake Nakuru has become synonymous with vast flocks of brightly coloured flamingos with thousands and sometimes millions of the iconic birds calling the lake’s shores home. Enjoy the wide ecological diversity and varied habitats that range from Lake Nakuru itself to the surrounding escarpment and picturesque ridges. The park is ideal for bird watching, hiking, picnic and game drives. Other attractions include Makalia waterfalls, viewpoints such as baboon cliff and lion hill. It is also famous for its rhinoceros’ sanctuary, a habitat for few white and black rhinos. The park is the ideal place to visit if you are eager to see these beautiful creatures in the wild.

After breakfast, continue with your Rift Valley adventure by driving West to Narok County, which is mainly dominated by the Maasai. Arrive at the lodge in time for lunch and then embark on a Masai Mara tour. Maasai Mara National Reserve is an area of preserved savannah wilderness which is an eco-system of Serengeti in southwestern Kenya, along the Tanzanian border. On the Masai Mara tour you will discover animals include giraffes, lions, cheetahs, buffalo, elephants, zebras and hippos just to name a few. The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. Each year the Mara plays host to the world’s greatest natural spectacle, the Great Wildebeest Migration, from the Serengeti. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh life-giving grass in the north brings more than 1.3 million wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon. At the Mara River they mass together on the banks before finally plunging forward through the raging waters, creating a frenzy as they fight against swift currents and waiting crocodiles. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 bird species recorded on the reserve.
