The greatest animal spectacle in the world - The Great Migration, occurs here every year.  Besides the numerous zebras and wildebeests, the park hosts rhino, giraffe, topi, elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, jackals, hyena, hippo and much more.  This park, which is an extension of Tanzania's Serengeti, has more wildlife than anywhere in East Africa.  The Maasai, who live and graze their herds on the outskirts of the park, enjoy a peaceful co-existence with the wildlife.  Enjoy a 2 hr game drive in the Mara and then back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 3
An early wake up call will be followed by a cup of tea or coffee before a game drive.  Then, back to the lodge where breakfast awaits.  You will then have some free time to laze by the pool, have lunch or visit the gift shop before your afternoon game drive. Back to the Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 4
After breakfast, we leave the lodge for the drive to Nakuru National Park. Lunch is served at Lion Hill Lodge upon arrival.  Lake Nakuru is a soda lake on the basin of the Rift Valley. The main attraction to this national park is the large concentration of nearly two million flamingoes that flock seasonally to feed on the blue-green algae.  You may spot resident rhinos as you enjoy your afternoon game drive.  Drive back to Lion Hill Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 5
Breakfast will be served at Lion Hill Lodge before leaving Nakuru for  Aberdare National Park, where the high altitude makes the park different to the typical savannah of most Kenyan parks and creates a cool alternative to the traveller.  The forest is rich in wildlife; elephant, rhino, warthogs, bushbuck, waterbuck, buffalo and the giant forest hog are all to be seen.  Lunch is served at Aberdare Country Club in Nyeri upon arrival. A separate vehicle will then transfer you to The Ark Tree Hotel for game viewing, tea, dinner and overnight stay.
