Day 02 Masai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with your guide, after an early breakfast. The Mara's landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, which enables the reserve to attract sufficient rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores, together with the predators that follow. Elephant, lion, buffalo can be seen with relative ease though luck is a necessary factor for spotting rhino and leopard that complete the big five as the two animals are very timid and sparsely numbered. Plains game like wildebeest, zebra and Masai giraffe abound as well as hippos and a wide variety of antelopes including impala, dik dik, hartebeest, Grant's gazelle and Thompson's gazelle among others. We will cater for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool. In the evening, return to the Mara Sarova Camp dinner and overnight stay.

Day 03 Masai Mara/Nakuru
After breakfast, leave Masai Mara for Nakuru National Park with a stop for lunch enroute, with scenic views of Lake Naivasha and Mt. Longonot, which are in the Great Rift from afar on the main highway. Lake Nakuru National Park is famous for it's enormous population of pink flamingos. Dinner and overnight at the Lake Nakuru Lodge.

Day 04 Lake Nakuru/Samburu

The Ewaso Nyiro River traverses this park, it's source being the Aberdare ranges.
