Meet The People and Wildlife


Day 1: Nairobi

Arrival at the airport at and transfer to the Hotel in Nairobi.

Day 2: Lake Naivasha Country Club

After breakfast, leave Nairobi via rim the Great Rift valley. Arrive at
the Lake Naivasha Country Club, our base for three days, in time for
lunch. In the afternoon you will visit the Crescent Island, which is a
peninsula on the Eastern shore of Lake Naivasha. There is a lot of easy
to see game e.g. giraffes, waterbucks, elands, zebras and impalas. Lake
Naivasaha has many species of birds recorded. Return to the Lake
Naivasha Country Club for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Hell's Gate National Park.

After breakfast we do a short transfer to the gate of the park. This is
a unique park where walking is done in the middle of wildlife.
Giraffes, zebras, warthogs and many types of gazelles are found here.
The first part of this walk is done in typical flat African savannah in
a volcanic area with huge rock boundaries. There are camphor and acacia
trees all over and this is where to look for the giraffe as they mainly
feed on them. A picnic lunch provided by the hotel will be at the
Rangers post.

The last part of the walk is done in the Hell's Gate Gorge by
descending into a steep canyon with running water from geysers and wild
vegetation. The climax of the day is in walking in the Side Gorge where
the rocks have split to leave only a walking path. We climb back to the
rangers post for transfer back to the Lake Naivasha Country Club.

Day 4: Crater Lake.

After breakfast we do a transfer to the nearby Crater Lake Game
Sanctuary. It is a lesser lake in the Rift Valley but a place where
nature is at its best.

We do a walk in the sanctuary followed by a circular trek on the top of
the crater from where we see the lake from various angles. Pleasant
interruptions on the walks will be from giraffes, black and white
Colobus monkeys, zorillas, aardvarks, leopards and a range of gazelles,
all which are easily found in the sanctuary.

Day 5: Menengai Crater.

After breakfast, leave the Naivasha area and transfer Menengai Crater,
still in the Rift Valley. The Menengai area is very beautiful with
cliff walls and steam jets filling the crater with mist. In the
afternoon we will do a nice walk in the crater where we will enjoy the
beautiful contrasts of nature. Rocks that have stood the test of time,
natural springs with mirror clear water, lava that reminds us that this
is the Rift Valley and baboons trooping around with their babies. All
this is in an atmosphere that is completely away from mass tourism.
Dinner and overnight at Lion Hill Lodge.

Day 6: Lake Nakuru National Park.

After breakfast, visit the Lake Nakuru National Park. It's not only
known for its thousands of flamingos but also for the vast herds of
buffaloes, tens of rhinos and cats like leopard and lion. Of the big
five only the elephant is missing. We make a game drive around the
lake. We go with a picnic lunch, which we will have at the Baboon
Cliff lookout point, overlooking the whole lake. Dinner and overnight
at Lion hill.


Day 7: Lake Elementaita.

Transfer to Lake Elementaita, which though it doesn’t have the big name
like Lake Nakuru, its scenic beauty is unmatched. After settling in the
nice cottages we will start our walk up to the shores of the alkaline
lake. From there we proceed up to the hot springs and into the
Horseshoe Crater.

We walk mainly in open savannah land and occasionally we will stop for
a chat with a Masai herdsman. The gentle sloping hills give a good
panorama. Dinner and overnight at Elemen Taita.


Day 8: Masai Mara

After breakfast we start our journey passing through Narok Town; a
colorful Masai town.

Our game viewing does not actually start at the park gate. We will be
able to see many animals along the way grazing side by side with the
Masai livestock. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Day 9/10: Masai Mara

After breakfast, morning game drive through the park and hike to a
Masai manyatta (=homestead). Here we will see how the typical Masais
live. An afternoon game drive makes the day. Afternoon Game dirve.
Dinner an overnight at the lodge.

Day 11: Masai Mara
Full day game drive in masai maraa with all meals, dinner and overnight
at the lodge.

Day 12: Nairobi

After breakfast, return to Nairobi in time for lunch. Transfer to the
airport for your flight home.
