Day 01: Nairobi-Lake Nakuru National Park

You begin your magical holiday today as you board your flight to Kenya - the heart of African safari!! On arrival into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you are met by a KWT Airport and then proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park with packed lunch from Nairobi. Lake Nakuru lies in the volcanic Rift Valley. The 160 km’s drive from Nairobi to Nakuru passes through the most spectacular view of the Great Rift Valley. From the top of a steep forested escarpment, the road descends into an area of dry bush, where Volcanic cones rise from the bed of this dry “trough”. Longonot is a dormant volcano 9,102 feet high and the crater has a depth of 590 feet. The other volcano, Suswa, is extinct. These are the only two “cones” of some note. Arrive at the park in the evening with a game drive enroute to the lodge. Meals and overnight at Sarova Lion Hill Lodge. (LD)

More than 60 species of animals are found here and countless bird species, this includes the masai ostrich and the secretary bird. This is where the great migration of the wildebeest takes place at the beginning of August now acknowledged as one of wonders of the world. Meals and overnight at Mara Serena Lodge. (BLD)

The larger grass-eating animals are the Maasai giraffe, the black rhino, the lesser kudu, the more common Burchell’s zebra and the usual bush bucks and antelopes. Elephants are also a common sighting. Arrive Amboseli in the evening with a game drive enroute to the lodge. You will have an opportunity to photograph Mt. Kilimanjaro with wildlife in the foreground on a clear day. Meals and overnight at Amboseli Serena Lodge. (BLD)
