h Lake Elmenteita: 2 nights
h Maasai Mara: 2 nights
DAY 1 h On arrival in Nairobi,
transfer to the Nairobi Serena
Hotel (p48) for one night in a
Standard Room.
DAY 2 h After breakfast, board
your 4x4 safari vehicle and
journey to Lake Elmenteita Serena
Camp in time for lunch. This
luxury camp lies on the shores of
the flamingo and pelican fringed
lake within the Soysambu
Conservancy – a beautiful
location. The conservancy is a
sanctuary home to rare wildlife
including abundant bird species
and is East Africa’s only breeding
ground for the Great White
Pelican. Enjoy time at leisure
before dinner. Spend two nights at
Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp.
DAY 3 h This morning, drive to
Lake Nakuru National Park in the
middle of the Great Rift Valley – a
geological phenomenon visible
from the moon. Formed in 1968
to protect the lesser flamingo that
breed and nest at the edge of the
soda lake, Lake Nakuru National
Park is home to over 400 species
of birds and is also one of the few
remaining places to see the
endangered white rhino. Embark
on a morning game drive in the
park, then enjoy lunch at Sarova
Lion Hill Lodge.
A second game drive in the park
follows this afternoon, perhaps
seeking out the other wildlife that
reside here, including lion, leopard,
gazelle and eland. In the evening,
return to camp in time for dinner.
DAY 4 h Enjoy breakfast and
morning activities at the camp.
After lunch, transfer to Loldia
airstrip for an afternoon light
aircraft flight to the Maasai Mara –
one of the most exciting reserves
in Africa with an exceptional
population of big cats and plains
game. On arrival at Siana airstrip,
embark on a spectacular afternoon
shared game drive in the Mara for
a chance to see the Big Five who
reside here. Perhaps spot lions
lazing in the shade, or see elephant
and zebra roaming towards a
waterhole. Arrive at the exquisite
Mara Bushtops (p40) this evening
for dinner and a two night stay. This
luxury camp is exclusive to Kuoni
in the UK and enjoys a wonderful
location on the edge of the Mara
in the Bushtops conservancy.
DAY 5 h A full day of shared game
viewing in the beautiful open
savannahs of the Maasai Mara
awaits you today, with a picnic
lunch. This is one of Africa’s most
dramatic and popular wildlife
arenas – particularly during the
great migration, but a wildlife-rich
sight to behold at any time of year.
Dinner and overnight.
DAY 6 h After breakfast transfer to
Siana airstrip for your late morning
flight to Nairobi and your return
flight, or extend your time in Africa
with an indulgent beach stay.
