This safari covers the magical Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Great Rift Valley lakes of Naivasha and Nakuru. The itinerary is perfect for the travelers looking for an adventurous safari. Maasai Mara is globally famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephant, rhino (big five), and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, known as the Great Migration. Lake Nakuru attracts the vast quantity of flamingos that famously line the shore. Other birds also flourish in the area, as do warthogs, baboons, and other large mammals. Black and white rhinos have also been introduced. Lake Naivasha offers more than enough attractions from boat riding, bird watching, crater lake, and Hell’s Gate National Park. Walking is permitted in the park, making it ideal for hiking, biking, and rock climbing.
