Mombasa, Nairobi and Nakuru Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival Masai Mara

The reserve borders the Serengeti Park in Tanzania with which it forms a single ecosystem. The name of the reserve derives from the name of the Maasai people (who inhabit various areas in the Serengeti plain) and the Mara River. The reserve is known for the exceptional concentration of fauna and for the famous migration of wildebeests and zebras which begins in July from Serengeti towards Masai Mara and then towards Serengeti in September/October. The most represented habitat is that of the African prairie or savannah with the typical acacias in the south-eastern area. The best known icon of the Maasai Mara is probably the image of the lion of which large herds are found; in the park there are still all the Big Five (lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo, leopard) even if the rhino population is in serious danger. Hippos are numerous in the Mara River and Talek River. You can see them while on the porch of the camp. Cheetahs are also present, but they too are considered endangered. Wildebeests are the main inhabitants (millions of specimens). They migrate from Serengeti to Maasai Mara in autumn and vice versa in spring. There are also numerous other antelope species, notably Thompson’s gazelle and Grant’s gazelle, impalas, and others. Large herds of zebras are found throughout the reserve. Many giraffes (both Maasai giraffes and common giraffes) also inhabit the plain.

Lake Nakuru National Park. The park is just 3 Km from the city of Nakuru. Lake Nakuru is an alkaline and shallow lake and the park includes swampy areas, forest, and low rocky reliefs where you can admire, in addition to millions of bird species, even animals that are difficult to see such as rhinos: you can see both rhinos whites that, although rare, the shy black rhinos! Arriving, you can see thousands of pink dots on the water from above: they are flamingos! From time to time, suddenly rising in small groups in flight, they cover the sky like a pink sheet… During the dry season the lake withdraws leaving a white and shiny crust of bicarbonate on the shores, creating a magical landscape with an almost surreal touch!! If we are really lucky we will be able to see a rare lion climbing trees. Warthogs are numerous throughout the park, as well as waterbucks, zebras and buffaloes, while Thompson’s gazelles prefer the thick of the bush, where leopards are also more likely to be seen. Birds of prey can be seen around the cliffs, as well as lots of baboons. A herd of hippos lives on the northern shore of the lake. Lake Nakuru is set in a very beautiful landscape, surrounded by woods, meadows, and rocky hills. Lake Nakuru is located about 150km from Nairobi.
