You will go on a morning game drive, then depart and drive for 3 to 4 hours to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley, famed for its birdlife. Covering over 140 square kilometres, Lake Naivasha - which derives its name from the local Maasai word Nai'posha meaning "receding waters" - is a Ramsar World Heritage Site and home to some of the world’s rare birds, other wildlife and plants. Over 300 species of birds live around the Lake. The African fish eagle, one of the continent’s most loved birds, known for its graceful aerial skills and distinctive plumage, is among the birds that not only nest in the woodlands around the lake, but are also major tourist attractions. Others include pelicans, herons, storks, kingfishers, hammerkop, egrets, cormorants, ibis, red-knobbed coots, etc. There are also hippos in the lake. We will take an afternoon boat trip to watch the birds and hippos. Mid-range tented camp located at Lake Naivasha (Naivasha) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 7
Masai Mara
This is a full-day excursion devoted to game drives in the reserve, with time to explore more of Masai Mara’s scenery and catch a glimpse of the “Big Five” animals of Kenya: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos. In addition to these, the Masai Mara teems with other fascinating wild animal species, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, baboons, wildebeests, warthogs, gazelles, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. The annual migration of millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles between July and September is a spectacle not to be missed by any visitor to the Mara. The wildebeest travel in herds for more than 900 km, crossing from the Serengeti plains north to the Masai Mara before they encounter their final obstacle at the Mara River. The Masai Mara is drained mainly by the famous River Mara, and the Mara River crossing is one of the most astonishing and absorbing spectacles, especially with the hungry crocodiles ready to pounce.
