5 Days Kenya Safari to Hell’s Gate National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Maasai Mara Game Reserve

 Hell’s Gate National Park

We start our safari by driving to Hell’s Gate National Park. Hell’s Gate National Park lies to the south of Lake Naivasha in Kenya, North West of Nairobi. The park, which mainly, comprised of the savannah ecosystem, harbors a wide variety of wildlife.

There are over 100 species of birds in the park, including vultures, Verreaux’s Eagles, augur buzzard and swifts, African buffalo, zebra, eland, hartebeest, Thompson’s gazelle, and baboons are also common.

Depart in the afternoon to Lake Naivasha which is the highest and most beautiful of the Rift Valley Lakes. Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski, and fish.

There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them. Due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgling wine industry. Dinner and overnight at campsite or lodge

Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction.

At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight later

An early morning drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve, it holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa.

As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight follow

 Maasai Mara

After breakfast, we have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned Lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it’s one of the few places where it’s possible to see the big five during the morning’s game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot scorching sun under one’s vehicle and several climbs onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.

For the bird lovers, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks 4 of bustard (including Kori the bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Dinner and overnight and the lodge or campsite
