You'll be picked up at the airport by your driver/guide and enjoy the drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve, with a stopover at the Rift Valley Viewpoint.

You should take full advantage of all that Mara has to offer with a full day to explore. The expertise and experience of your driver-guide will maximize your chances of seeing all the splendors of the Masai Mara and beyond. A family of cheetahs sunbathing asleep on a rock, the drama of a lion killing just 15 to 20 feet from you, or the thrill of an elephant charge. The trees in the distance turn out to be the giraffe family. The clump of bushes is a pride of lions. The rock that moves may be a rhinoceros moving heavily out of your way. You'll head for the Mara River, where you'll enjoy a sumptuous riverside picnic. Whatever the case, the sheer mass and spectacle of the animals around you will provide endless opportunities to fill many albums with precious memories.

You'll cross the vast plains at the bottom of the Rift Valley, watching for herds of giraffe and gazelle as you make your way up the Mau escarpment, before arriving at Lake Nakuru. The waters here were often colored a shimmering flamingo pink, due to the thousands of magnificent birds that line its shores.
