Tour Overview
This 10-day Safari & Beach Holiday combines Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park, a treat for birdwatchers and a rhino sanctuary with the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve. Get the best of both worlds on this adventurous road and air trip. Your trip begins with a 2-hour drive northwest of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is a bird and animal watchers’ haven. The Park has over 400 bird species. These include herons, pelicans, storks and the iconic African fish eagle. Lake Nakuru is also home to a vast number of mammals (56 species) including healthy population of the highly endangered rhino. The Park has four of the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino) except the Elephant. Expect to see tree-climbing Lions, Cheetahs, Python, Hyenas, Jackal, Rothschilds giraffe, zebra, hippo, impala, waterbuck, and plenty of baboons and monkeys. After a night in Lake Nakuru we get back on the road and make our way to our next game viewing destination in Kenya, the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. We spend 3 nights in the Mara on morning and afternoon game drives in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife The Maasai Mara is home to the Masai giraffe, Baboons, Warthogs, Bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted Hyena, Topi, Impala, Hartebeests, Wildebeest, Elephants, Buffalos, Zebra, Hippo, Cheetah. The ultimate action here is without a doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grazers move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October. Balloon trips are an entirely wonderful way of seeing the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at extra cost. After your game-viewing adventure in Masa Mara, we fly to Mombasa and spend the next four days enjoying the sunshine and the warm Indian Ocean at a beach resort near Mombasa, on the, coast of East Africa. Mombasa is the second biggest city in Kenya and boasts the largest port on the East African coastline. Relax on the sandy beaches and dip in the sea, taking it easy after our action-packed game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife areas. You can also enjoy optional (extra cost) activities and water sports in and around Mombasa, a chaotic melting pot of Indian, Arabic and African influences.

Visit to the Masai Villages
Arguably the most iconic tribal group in all of Africa, the Maasai, who populate vast areas of Southern areas of Kenya are the dominant ethnic group surrounding the Masai Mara. This nomadic warrior tribe which once held vast swathes of pre colonial Kenya, still retain many of their traditions as they live largely untouched by modern day civilisation, in areas surrounding Masai Mara. So why visit a Maasai village and what do you get to see? This one hour visit to a Maasai village is a chance to interact with the Maasai and get a glimpse into their culture, unique way of life and see first hand some of their customs and practices.
