After breakfast, depart for Lake Baringo.
Lake Baringo, a fresh water lake in the Rift
valley, is a peaceful oasis in the dry thorn
country, bursting with birdlife and with a
captivating characteristic of its own. Lake
Baringo possesses two major ornithological
attractions: the Gibraltar Island with the
largest nesting colony of Goliath Herons in
East Africa and the escarpment immediately
west of Campi ya Samaki on the western side
of the lake Baringo. It is the home of
Verreaux's Eagle, rare Bristle crowned
Starling and Hemprich's Hornbill. Apart from
birds, the lake Baringo houses a sizeable
population of crocodile's and hippos. Meals
and overnight at a spectacular lodge
situated by the lake.
After breakfast, depart for Lake Nakuru
National park. Arrive in time for lunch.
Enjoy an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru
National Park. The park provides a sanctuary
for the rhino. Lake Nakuru has always been
considered a flamingo lake par excellence.
The contrast and apparent dislocation
between the shallow soda lake with its
primeval birds and the animated woods all
around it give Lake Nakuru National Park a
very distinctive appeal. Dinner and
overnight at a lodge overlooking the lake
Nakuru .
After breakfast at the Lake Nakuru
National park, depart for Masai Mara game
reserve- the land of vast migrating herds.
Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon,
embark on a game drive to get a closer look
at the Masai Mara. Return to an archetypal
