5
days Aberdares /Nakuru and Masai Mara game parks
Kenya Road Safari 4 Nights/5 Days
Tour Summary/ Features:
This safari takes you through three very different game
viewing experiences: Aberdares, Lake Nakuru and Maasai
Mara. In the Aberdares you find icy rivers, spectacular
waterfalls and rain forests. Here elephants, buffalos
and other animals visit you at the floodlit waterholes
of The Ark. Lake Nakuru's claim to fame is anchored on
its flamingo's and the over 400 species of birds found
here. This soda lake on the floor of the Rift Valley is
host to millions of flamingos and an important refuge
for endangered species- particularly Rothschild Giraffe
and black and white rhino.
You
then head to Maasai Mara, Kenya’s most famous and
finest game sanctuary. The Mara offers wildlife in such
variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe:
over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You
will easily see the Big Five- lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard,
and elephant. The famous Maasai tribesmen live within
the dispersal area of the game reserve.

vehicle to The Ark, one of the two famous tree hotel in
the Aberdares National Park.

National Park has a diverse topography that includes icy
rivers, spectacular waterfalls and rain forests. The flora
and fauna is quite unique and is not found elsewhere in
the country, expect on Mount Kenya. Leopard, elephant,
serval, waterbuck, reedbuck, dikdik, rhino and the rare
bongo can all be found here. You are sure to see elephants,

is a soda lake on the floor of the rift valley. The sight
of the at times millions of flamingos is quite spectacular.
From a distance the lake appears ringed in pink. The Lake
