6 Days - Rift
Valley Lakes (Lake Baringo, Bogoria and nakuru) /Maasai Mara
Wildlife Camping Safari
Explore the scenic lakes of the Great Rift Valley on the hunt for
hippos, crocodiles and flocks of pink flamingos, and in the Masai
Mara stalk the Big 5.
Day 1, Lake Baringo
pick up from your hotel at 0730hrs and drive via the scenic floor of
the spectacular Rift Valley from the top of an escarpment, dotted
with its string of lakes, that is a great introduction to the
natural beauty of the region. Camp at Roberts camp next to
freshwater Lake Baringo where there is the option of taking a boat
trip to search for hippo and crocodile and view the abundant
birdlife around the lake shore.
Day 2, Lake Bogoria /Nakuru
From Baringo it's a short drive to Lake Bogoria, a shallow soda lake
set amidst beautiful scenery. Like the other Kenyan soda lakes, it
has no outlet and the intense evaporation leads to high levels of
salt and minerals, which flamingos love and from a distance the
surface of the water appears bright pink. Next to the lake are
steaming hot springs and geysers, but don't be tempted to put your
hands into the water if you are at all fond of your skin! Continue
south to Lake Nakuru National Park, another shallow soda lake famous
for its birdlife, and the park is also home to lion, many rhino and
if you're very lucky you may spot a leopard in an Acacia tree.
Overnight at Lake Nakuru Guest House

Full day spent exploring the park in search of the big 5.Morning and
afternoon game drives are offered. Optional hot air balloon safari
can be arranged at an extra cost of US$ 450 per person. Dinner and

The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is
difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded
here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles,
giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals,
wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the
natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions
of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of
water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the
savanna- lion, cheeter
