This is a safari to the world famous Bird Sanctuaries of the Great Rift Valley Lakes: Naivasha, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru, then South over the Mau Escarpment to Kenya’s greatest concentration of game - Maasai Mara. Kenya’s rift valley escarpments offer some of the most breath taking views. The Rift Valley is one of the wonders of the world stretching from the Middle East, down through Africa reaching as far as Mozambique. The staggering view as you approach from Nairobi is quite unbelievable. The ground suddenly disappears from under you to show the huge expanse of the great rift, stretching for thousands of miles in either direction. Whilst this stunning introduction to the Rift valley is amazing in itself, exploring the Lakes area of the Rift in Kenya is a rewarding experience.

Lake Baringo is the most Northerly of Kenya's small Rift Valley lakes; creased with papyrus and well developed acacia forest.

These Lodges are situated along the shores of Lake Baringo facing the Seven Islands and Laikipia Escarpment, the most spectacular scenery

Day 2: Lake Baringo - Lake Bogoria - Lake Nakuru (Breakfast, Packed Lunch & Dinner)

After breakfast, we exit L. Baringo towards Marigat and on to Bogoria. A 30km drive south to the spectacular Lake Bogoria with hot springs and geysers being the main attraction. This lake has been called 'the new home of the flamingo' with a nomad population of up to two million birds. We enjoy picnic lunch and then proceed for an afternoon game drive at the Lake Nakuru National Park which covers 180 sq km. The park is home to Lion, Warthog, Waterbuck, Buffalo, Reedbuck and the occasional Leopard. White and black rhinos were introduced to the park some years ago and you may find white rhino at the southern end. The park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists' delight with more than 400 species of bird found here. Dinner and overnight stay at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge 

Day 3: Nakuru - Maasai Mara (Breakfast, Packed Lunch & Dinner)

Day 4: Masai Mara (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)

After an early breakfast, we spend a full day in search of the Cats of Mara. This Reserve forms part of the Great Masai Mara-Serengeti Eco-system.

On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange tinted sunsets and you will definitely want to capture this moment while sipping on a sun downer back at our lodge. The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of pasture before turning south again in October. Balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains and the wildlife after which you come back down for a beautiful champagne breakfast.
