Arrive at your camp in time for lunch and spend the rest of your day at leisure, and preparing for the next day! Meals and overnight at CRATER LAKE CAMP (FB)

DAY 2: Lake Naivasha
This is your BIG DAY and we will ensure that all is set according to your wildest dreams! Picture a perfect wedding in the African wilderness within the Crater Lake sanctuary and a glorious back drop of a secluded lake inhabited by the gorgeous pink flamingos and the most amazing surroundings. Enjoy being spoilt at the camp while they prepare you to walk down the aisle. After a private ceremony, spend the rest of your day at leisure in one of the most romantic camps in Kenya! This is definitely what dreams are made of! Meals and overnight at CRATER LAKE CAMP (FB)

DAY 3: Lake Naivasha
Spend your full day at leisure at the camp with the driver / vehicle at your disposal. You could opt for a guided walk on the Crater Lake Sanctuary or alternatively, enjoy a small excursion to Crescent Island at Lake Naivasha to walk amongst giraffes, waterbucks, gazelles, and view an ornithological paradise. The birdlife here is also spectacular! You could also visit the nearby Hell’s Gate National Park. This dusty but dramatic riftvalley park is one of only two lowland parks where you can walk or cycle without a ranger or a guide. The park is home to a wide variety of bird and animal life, Zebras, Thomson’s gazelles and baboons are all common and you may encounter the occasional cheetah, leopard or ostrich. Special interest is taken in birds of prey here, and efforts are being made to reintroduce the rare lammergeier raptor. Afterwards, return to the camp and spend the rest of your evening at leisure.

DAY 4: Lake Naivasha – Lake Nakuru National Park
Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at the camp before departing for Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive at your camp in time for lunch. After lunch, embark on an extended game drive within the park. Originally declared a national park because of a superbly diverse bird population, which includes many migrants, Lake Nakuru National Park is also a favourite place for travellers to seek the rare black rhino. However, it is for the flamingos that the lake is best known, and it was for their protection that the park was originally created. The level of the bluey-green alkaline waters at Lake Nakuru varies and this, with other accompanying environmental changes, causes considerable variation in the flamingo population, but when they are present, en masse, the whole lake turns a gorgeous rosy pink. Although protection of the flamingo population on the lake was the original rationale for the inception of the national park, further land was included in the early seventies and it is now about 190 sq m. This expansion, which took in a large grassland area, has allowed the park to protect further species. Buffalo, zebra, antelope and both lion and leopard are to be found. The rather less ubiquitous reedbuck and waterbuck are also here as is the glamorously leggy Rothschild giraffe. Temptingly, the black rhino-breeding programme, started in the late eighties, has proved successful and this is an excellent place to view them. Meals and overnight at FLAMINGO HILL CAMP (FB)

DAY 5: Lake Nakuru National Park – Masai Mara Game Reserve
Enjoy an early morning breakfast before departing for Masai Mara Game Reserve, driving through the scenic Great Rift Valley. Arrive at your luxurious camp in time for lunch. After lunch, embark on your first game drive within the reserve. The Mara is more than just the most popular wildlife park in the country; in many cases it is the reason why people come to visit Kenya. This is a classic African savannah, and the sheer densityof wildlife is amazing. Probably the most famous of the reserves, the Masai Mara, in Kenya's south-western corner, boasts an astonishing amount of game. Unfenced, the Mara is bounded in the east by the Ngama Hills and in the west by the Oloololo or Siria Escarpment. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found so are predators. Not only is this a great place in which to find game, but also wide green-gold savannahs spotted with thorn trees make it ideal for photography. The Mara is in the northern extension of the Serengeti plains. Watered by the Mara River and its tributary the Talek, the park here compromises 1510 sq kilometres of open grassland tucked away in the south west corner of the country. In the Mara you will see an astonishing amount of wild life, of the big cats, lions are found in large prides everywhere and it is not uncommon to see them hunting. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but are still fairly common. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos also exist in large numbers. Meals and overnight at MARA BUSH CAMP (FB)

DAY 6 & 7: Masai Mara Game Reserve
Enjoy unlimited game drives in the Mara at your convenience with driver / vehicle at your disposal. Probably the most famous of the reserves, the Masai Mara, in Kenya's south western corner, boasts an astonishing amount of game. There is no settlement within the reserve however, the Mara is in theory owned by the Masai, pastrolists and, in earlier times, renowned lion-killers. It is said that if lions scent approaching Masai onthe breeze they move swiftly in the opposite direction. The Mara, as it is known in Kenya, is ravishingly beautiful and also offers long, undisturbed views and utterly dramatic panoramas. The weather really means something here. The sun may beat down unforgivingly, huge clouds in fabulous shapes may sweep across the widest of skies, and the wind ripples the grasses as though a giant hand strokes them. The landscape is stunning. The famously black-maned Mara lions are possibly the stars of the Mara show, but cheetah, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thompson's gazelle, waterbuck, hyena, and primates are all here too. As with the rest of Kenya, the birding is good. Famously, the Mara is the northerly end of the Great Migration, that great primeval surge of wildebeest, zebra and antelope that sweeps in from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara as the Tanzanian grass starts to fail. They are tracked by the large predators who pick off the weak, the stragglers and the young. The great herds, nearing their destination by July, mass along the Mara River, pushing, shoving and fantastically noisy, just waiting for the first animal to cross so that they can all follow, lemming-like, on the final leg of the journey. However, crocodiles lie in wait, sluggishly cruising the waters, fully prepared for their best meal of the year. Many fail in the life-and-death struggle - drowned, eaten by the crocodiles or, made careless or weak by their stressful swim, brought down by lions. The Masai Mara is terrible yet wonderful, and not to be missed! Meals and overnight at MARA BUSH CAMP (FB)

DAY 8: Masai Mara Game Reserve – Nairobi – Mombasa, South Coast
Enjoy your last early morning game drive in the park at your convenience before returning to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast, depart for Nairobi, arriving in Nairobi in the late afternoon.

Enjoy your last morning at the beach before being transferred to Moi International Airport for your flight back to Nairobi.
