Vacation Summary:
This tour is to the world famous Bird Sanctuaries of the Great Rift Valley Lakes Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru, then South over the Mau Escarpment to Kenya's greatest concentration of game Masai Mara. Lake Baringo is Kenya's bird watching centre with more than 450 species sighted here as well as Hippos, Crocodiles and Monitor lizards whilst Lake Bogoria offers hot springs and various bird species as the main attraction. Lake Nakuru national park is home to the endangered Black and White Rhinos, various Antelopes, bird species, Flamingoes and the elusive Leopard whilst Masai Mara offers the best chance to see the Big 5, cats of mara and numerous herbivores.
Day 1: Nairobi – Lake Baringo

As long as the wind conditions are favorable, we enjoy an evening boat ride in search of Hippos, Crocodiles and Birds of East Africa. A bird watcher's haven but beware this is malaria land so it's best to come prepared with drugs and mosquito repellant. (Picnic lunch & Dinner)

At 180sq km, an afternoon game drive will suffice to explore this small but interesting park with habitats which include Big 4, grass, bush, euphorbia, acacia forests, rocky cliffs home to troops of Baboons and rock Hyraxes. Set up camp at a campsite (cold at night). (Breakfast, Picnic lunch & Dinner)
