This is a short but
extremely rewarding safari as it allows visitors to gain a firsthand experience
of the Great Rift Valley and the vast game-rich plains of the Masai Mara. The
Rift Valley lakes are famous for their abundance of flamingos and other
waterfowl, while Masai Mara is home to the country’s greatest concentration of
wildlife.
Clients are met at Nairobi City Centre or Airport and travel towards Kenya's fertile highlands and head down the Rift
Escarpment on a road built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II.
Look for the charming chapel they built at the foot of the escarpment. Pass the
impressive Longonot earth satellite station as you head across the valley to
Narok; continue your travels across acres of wheat and barley, before reaching
the Masai Mara in time for lunch. Following lunch set off on your first game
drive, returning to the camp as the sun sets.
Overnight at Sentrim Mara Camp on a full board basis.

Camp
Following an early
breakfast, depart on a morning game drive, returning to the camp mid-morning.
After lunch, and perhaps a siesta, set off on another game drive and visit to
the Masai Village, returning to the camp as the sunsets. (It is possible to
pre-book an optional early morning Balloon Safari at a supplement)
Leaving the Masai
Mara after breakfast travel across the ‘breadbasket’ of Kenya, where acres of
wheat and barley litter the landscape as you head north to Narok, the district
headquarters of this part of Maasailand. Now travel across the vast plains on
the floor of the Rift Valley, keeping an eye out for herds of giraffe and
gazelle as you head up the Mai -Mahiu, before arriving at your lodge at Lake
Elementaita around midday. Following lunch, depart for a game drive in Lake
Nakuru National Park, returning to your lodge as the sun sets. The national park, known for its birdlife, offers a
possibility to view flamingoes. It is
also home to Black and White rhinos as well as the endangered Rothschild
Giraffe.
Overnight at Sentrim Elementaita Lodge on a
full board basis.

place for you to experience one of the world’s largest ornithological spectacles.
Following an early
breakfast, continue to Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. Leaving the Rift Valley
behind, proceed to Nairobi, arriving late morning. Once in the city, clients
will be dropped off at the drop off point in the city centre or airport for
ongoing travel arrangements.
