Highlights
The Kenya 5 days big five safari is a combination of the best game viewing experiences with the immersion into 2 of the most popular Rift valley lakes. Wildlife game drives in Masai mara is one of the best adventures as the park has the highest population of game spread across gently sloping plains with bountiful food supply. There are more than 3 million animals in Masai Mara including a very high concentration of predators. The wildebeest migration is another phenomenon which takes place every year in Masai mara when over 1.5million animals cross over 3,000km in search of pasture.
Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha offer a lake holiday experience with wide open views of the lakes birds, hippos and buffalos grazing at the shores. The lake Nakuru is popular for its tree climbing lions and flamingos with rhinos that don’t obey traffic rules. Lake Naivasha’s crescent island gives you a chance to walk along with wildlife. Animals to see include lions, buffalos, elephants, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, gazelles, impalas, pythons, wildebeests, jackals among many others.
