Day 2

The hot and low- lying Rift Valley provides a rewarding scenic and ecological taster for the arid badlands that run towards Ethiopia border. This climatic austerity is, however, alleviated by a pair of beautiful but very different lakes which supports high density of flamingos, crocodiles and hippos. Offers a unique experience for visitors, with its breathtaking views, hot springs, birdlife, and wildlife making it a must visit destination. After lunch we shall head back to Nakuru for our overnight stay. Mid-range hotel located 2-3hr drive from Lake Bogoria NR (Kenya) All meals included Drinks not included
Day 3
Drive to via the Great Rift Valley to arrive at Maasai Mara in time for lunch, after check-in we go for afternoon game drive.

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, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures. Go to our lodge/camp for dinner and overnight stay.
