The journey will continue to Lake Nakuru National Park through the Great Rift Valley with excellent views of the countryside on your way to Lake Nakuru NP. Due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels, the flamingo numbers have decreased, but the park remains stunning. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forests, waterfalls, and wooded hills. The small quantity of flamingos is accompanied by other birdlife, such as pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks, herons, and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy, and full of color. The park is known for hosting endangered beautiful species such as the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, white rhino, and large populations of black rhinos.

You are expected to arrive in time for a hot lunch at the lodge in Masai Mara, a land full of grassy plains and rolling hills. Enjoy an introduction game drive in this open savannah grassland crossed by the Mara and Talek Rivers. It is one of the few places on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in their numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. Animals found here are lion, cheetah, elephant, zebra, and hippo. Wildebeest traverse the plains during their annual migration.

Day 5
Masai Mara National Reserve
Explore the savannah grassland - the Masai Mara National Reserve. Today will be a game-viewing extravaganza! Masai Mara remains the most exciting wildlife ecosystem in the savannah grassland. It is host to the highest and most varied concentration of wildlife compared to any other park in the region. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wild game species make it a one-stop shop for game-viewing activities from January to December. Traverse the park on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game. We will visit the Mara River, where we can watch hippos and crocodiles or the great migration (July – October) when the timing is right. Despite the well-known wildebeest migration, This park is visited by many throughout the year as it hosts so much wildlife. Therefore, a visit to Kenya without visiting this park is not a complete holiday. Book with confidence and let us do the walking.

Awesome experience with Back of Africa. Allan and George were super helpful and we had a great time on our 5 day safari through Amboseli & Tsabo East/West. Thanks a lot! Can only recommend.

The safari was an unforgettable adventure with stunning nature and fascinating wildlife encounters!
Our experience with Back of Africa Adventure was absolutely fantastic! Communication was smooth and professional from the start—every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. The service was outstanding, with a friendly and well-organized team that went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. The value for money was excellent, as the tour was perfectly planned with incredible experiences. What impressed us the most was their reliability and dedication. The organizer was always available to help us with any questions, responding immediately. When we had an issue upon arrival at the airport, we called him privately, and he assisted us right away, which we truly appreciated. The safari itself was breathtaking, with amazing wildlife sightings and stunning landscapes. Our driver was fantastic—he was extremely friendly, spoke excellent English, and put in great effort to find and show us as many animals as possible. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of throughout the journey. We highly recommend Back of Africa Adventure to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Professional and have good experience about safari
We had a fantastic, incredible, fun trip to Kenya - all the superlatives! We went to five camps and Allan planned the trip perfectly, particularly the order of our itinerary, The destinations and accommodations were great too. Our tour guide and drvier Hudson Obindi. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. every time he stoped at a very good position to help us to view animal more clean. We did saw the great migration as waves of wildebeest and zebras make their journey to crossed Mara river. We saw millions of Flamingos in BoGoria lake. Of cause many many animals like big five. We traveling in different landscapes, we went Hells Gate National park onto Lions Hill and also down the deep trenches there. we really satisfied for their operation and they are highly recommended.

Allan was a complete joy to work with!
I started planning this trip in September of 2022 for 14 people. We customized the trip for the things we wanted to see. Allan and I probably sent close to 200 emails over the year of planning and he always responded within 24 hours. We had someone cancel a month before and he quickly assisted in the agreement refund policy and rearranged rooms. All of the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our guides George and Obama were extremely professional, personable, very knowledgeable and we would definitely request them again. We spent the first 3 days in Nairobi - Lake Nakuru - Maasai Mara - Amboseli - Tsavo West & East - Diani Beach to end with some R&R. We saw the big 5, went to a Masai Mara village, planned a bush dinner and a hippo breakfast. We drove to all the places except one were we took a flight from Masai Mara to Amboseli. The drives took us through the countryside of Kenya which we loved seeing. The drives could be long for some so maybe think of more smaller flights between parks but we loved seeing Kenya. The only thing I would change was adding a few more days to enjoy some more time at the beautiful lodges. The food and drinks at the lodges was excellent. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Asante Sana Allan, George and Obama!
