Day 1 | Depart the UK. | Day 2 | Arrive in Nairobi. You will be met on arrival and will commence your safari with a pleasant drive to your lodge overlooking Lake Naivasha, probably Kenya’s most beautiful fresh water lake. Rest of the day free to relax. | Day 3 | After breakfast drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru, a large alkaline lake on the bed of the great rift valley, has earnt its fame as the home of one of the greatest bird spectacles in the world- a myriad of more than one million pink flamingo, which seasonally use its waters to feed on the abundant algae which thrive in its warm waters. Lake Nakuru has a great deal to offer besides its magnificent birdlife however; here you will also find lion, leopard, buffalo and other savannah and forest game which makes the game viewing so worth while. You will view game in the morning before returning to your lodge by Lake Naivasha for a late lunch. Dinner and overnight at your lodge by Lake Naivasha. | Day 4 | After breakfast you will be driven across the floor of the Great Rift Valley, the longest rift in the crust of the earth, to the Masai Mara. You will spend three nights in this natural paradise among zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo, elephant, antelope and gazelle.

A typical day on safari starts with a cup of tea or coffee at sunrise, before you embark on an early morning game drive.

|  The Great Rift valley Lodge
A short drive from the well-maintained Pan African Highway, the Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort is just one and a half hours’ drive from Nairobi. Its location midway between the Samburu and Maasai Mara reserves makes the lodge the perfect stopover between the country’s top safari destinations.The Great Rift Valley Lodge sits at about 7,000 feet, from which elevation it enjoys magnificent views to the west and east. The vistas stretch from the shimmering waters of Lake Naivasha to the jagged volcanic crater of Mount Longonot and, beyond, the sloping shoulders of the Aberdare Mountains Kenya’s most important watershed.
The Great Rift Valley Lodge offers 21 twin and 9 double rooms, all with private balconies overlooking the spectacular valley floor. The rooms are located in spacious two- and three-storey blocks, and are beautifully furnished with large four-poster beds, handmade wooden furniture, African prints, and modern en suite bathrooms. more >> |  Mara Simba Lodge
Mara Simba was conceived, not just as an overnight stop but as a safari resort, as the ultimate lodge in the Masai Mara. The emphasis is on exclusivity and comfort, the ambiance is Maasai, the decor incorporating ethnic design elements from the culture of the proud tribe in whose realm the lodge is set. The grounds extend almost a kilometre along the Talek River. The river bank is left in its virgin state, while further back lush, landscaped gardens of indeginous plants and trees, attract colourful birds and butterflies. Wide, well-lit pathways link guest rooms and public areas. The lodge, overlooking a dramatic bend in the river, is designed to complement its natural setting. more >> |
