At the forefront of the Kenyan conservancy program, the conservancy boasts the largest Black Rhino Sanctuary in East Africa, hosts the only Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Kenya, and shelters large numbers of rare and endangered species.

Day 4 – Olpejeta to Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast in the camp, check-out and drive to Lake Nakuru skirting the Aberdare Mountain ranges to Nyahururu falls for a photo-stop.

Lunch at your lodge.

1600hrs Depart for a game viewing drive in the park.  Known all over the world for its flamingoes, it’s alkaline and is recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harbouring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore.

Waterbuck are usually sighted along the lake shore, and this is the home of the Rothschild’s giraffe. Baboon, impala, buffalo, monkeys, warthog, impala, reedbuck and eland are also resident here.

As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive.  This 650 sq kilometer reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen anywhere considering its size.  

Balloon Safari

Experience the Masai Mara on a different level!  Flying high up in the skies above the Masai Mara is the ultimate safari experience.  The landscape below is a never-ending exciting mixture of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments and rugged rivers.  Against a back drop of stunning, hot-air balloon flights in the Masai Mara give you a unique vantage point of the abundant wildlife living below.  There’s really nothing quite like it, the view is unparalleled and the experience is unforgettable!
