Leave in the morning to reach the small town of Nyeri for a sumptuous lunch before leaving for the Ark in the early afternoon. Enjoy the experience of staying in a Tree Hotel or lodge overlooking floodlit waterholes where wildlife visits regularly. Over 40 species of wildlife inhabit the Aberdare mountain ranges, hiding in the heavily forested slopes and in the upper moorlands. The Aberdares is noted as a rhino sanctuary but keep an eye out for the elusive rare bongo, which is best, spotted in the upper bamboo zone and hypericum scrub.
As dusk ensues, we enjoy a relaxing sundowner whilst viewing the game as they gradually approach the waterhole – a truly magical experience. A hearty dinner and pleasant sleep follow thereafter. The night is spent at Treetops, Ark, or Mountain Lodge in your comfortable perch above the floodlit waterhole and saltlick where night long, a procession of animals comes to drink.
We proceed out of the national park and depart for Lake Naivasha with a hot lunch en-route to arrive for a relaxing walk through Hell’s Gate National Park and enjoy the geothermal tower. Optional boat ride to the crescent island in the evening.
Stay for dinner and overnight stay at the luxurious Enashipai Resort & Spa.
After breakfast, we depart for the drive Masai Mara Game Reserve. There will be a stop at the viewpoint of the Great Rift whose view of the valley below is splendidly panoramic and another stop for lunch and fuelling at Narok town. On arrival proceed on a game drive in this world-famous reserve, due to its high animal concentration and abundance and its yearly seasonal migration of wildebeest and zebra.

Masai Mara Game reserve remains the most exciting wildlife eco-system world. It is host to the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals than any other wildlife park in the region.
The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savanna plains, the moderate climate and diversity of wild game species makes it a one-stop-shop for game viewing activities.
