Do the safari and then get the tan!

Highlights
Hells Gate National Park, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lamu Island.

Optional Extras
Hells Gate National Park, Elsamere Museum, Mount Longonot Climb.

Naivasha, where Hippo's often come to graze in the evenings, is one of the many Rift Valley lakes, and it is home to an abundance of birds and animals. Colobus monkeys often come to admire themselves in the mirrors of the truck.

Driving from Lake Naivasha out across the Rift Valley and into the Masai Mara Game Reserve, you can see the Local Masai people integrated with the animal population where they graze their herds of cows and live in the traditional way of life. The Mara is also home to one end of the great wildebeest and zebra migration, part of which you may be able to see.

Accommodation Details

Camping
Those campsites that are more basic tend to be more scenic; that is especially in the game parks where basic toilets and cold showers are the norm. After a night at such camps we do our best to follow with a hot shower bar campsite. Although in the Masai Mara are two basic nights, but the wild beauty and the animals in the park more than makes up for this.
