You shall also have another stop to see and experience the largest open-air market in East Africa at Karatina. 

The Aberdare National Park is home to elephants, black rhinos, leopards, spotted hyenas, olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, buffalos, warthogs and bushbucks among others. Rare sightings include those of the giant forest hog, bongo, golden cat, serval cat, African wild cat and the blue duiker. You will spend the evening game viewing from the balconies of your tree lodge as animals come to the saltlick/waterhole. 

Day 2: Aberdares to Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast you will head out and proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park. You will make a stop at the scenic Thompson Falls in Nyahururu and also get to enjoy the scenic drive of the farming country and local homesteads through the Great Rift Valley escarpment floor. You will arrive in time for an exciting game drive heading to check-in at your hotel to enjoy lunch. After lunch, you will head out for another game drive across the Pink Lake referred to due to the great masses of majestic pink flamingos that surround the shores. You will also have the chance to view the famous white Rhino and black rhino found in this park. 

Day 3: Lake Nakuru to Maasai Mara National Reserve

After an early morning breakfast, you will check out and leave Lake Nakuru for Maasai Mara. You will pass through Narok Town, a famous Maasai town as you make your way to Maasai Mara. You will arrive in time to check in at your hotel and have lunch. After lunch, you will take off for a game drive through the park in search of lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, and other members of the “Big Five”, plus other animals. Later in the evening, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. 

There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve.
Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino). 

Day 4: Explore Mara, Full Day Game Drive 

Full-day game drives starts at 7.00 am, with your 4×4 fully equipped to cross the Mara plains in search of game. At 1800 meters above sea level it can get cold before the sun rises fully, so we provide blankets and hot water bottles to keep you warm. 

By midday, it can become very hot indeed and sun-block lotion and hats are advised. Lunch is served under the shade of an Acacia tree or overlooking the snorting hippos which wallow in the Mara River. 

As the afternoon draws to a close and the temperature cools, the shadows lengthen and the Bush changes once more. Evening sightings of rhinos are quite common on the way back to camp. Even a bad day is a good day in the Maasai Mara since undoubtedly you will have encountered vistas, flora, and fauna new to you. Each can be revisited in the memory as you sink into your welcoming hot tub back at your tent. 

Day 5: Maasai Mara to Nairobi 

This is the climax of the trip and depending on your next destination departure time you will discuss with your driver/guide the best time to leave for Nairobi. On the agreed time, you will check out and depart for Nairobi to be dropped at your hotel or the airport which will mark the end of our services.
