Day 1: Nairobi - Lake Naivasha
Well arrived at Nairobi; you will be met by our English speaking driver guide. From the airport it is possible to hand over your luggage to use for bathing holiday to our airport representative. He takes the extra luggage to our office, and keeps it safe until after the safari. The luggage to the seaside holiday is received again from the representative at the airport before the flight to the Indian Ocean and beach holidays.
From the airport you go to the Daphne Sheldrick elephant sanctuary. You see the little elephants, all of which have been abandoned or away from their mother, and the elephants are really on slack line in the time that day comes guests past the place. A pleasant visit and a great experience for both children and adults.
From Daphne Sheldrick you drive towards Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya's many lakes in the Great Rift Valley area. The trip usually takes two to three hours inclusive break along the way. Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in Kenya, outside the town of Naivasha in Nakuru County, which lies North West of Nairobi. It is part of the Great Rift Valley. The name derives from the local Maasai name Nai'posha, meaning "rough water" because of the sudden storms which can arise. Both the lake and in the surrounding areas seen an impressive bird life.
Lunch at Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, our lodging for the night. After a nice lunch you walk through the beautiful park, adjacent to the lake itself. Then you board the boats and sail on Lake Naivasha. You will see perhaps the African Fish Eagle, which is very similar to our osprey. Also other large birds, for example; Pelicans are often seen at Lake Naivasha. The lake has plenty of hippos - a great experience at close! (FB)

Day 2: Lake Naivasha - Maasai Mara
After breakfast you drive from Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge for Maasai Mara savanna. The drive itself is a breathtaking experience and with great variation in the landscape. You make stops along the way, to enjoy the picnic basket and continue the day with game drive, there are animal characters.
On the way from the area around Lake Naivasha you pass a few villages and their local communities, and from here change the landscape for more savannah. And after a few hours - you drive in the world famous sanctuary.Nature Photographers from around the world travel to Maasai Mara savanna to film the animals. And for good reason - they are everywhere and galore.No one knows who welcomes the day when you arrive. Is it the lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo or Mon elephants, you first catch sight of.
The last hours before arrival to our residence is one long game drive (game drive) before there is accommodation for two nights at the cozy * Keekorok Lodge or Similar tent camp.
Accommodation in large luxury tents with private bath / toilet, where the sounds of the savannah clearly are heard when darkness falls. It provides a very authentic African experience. Keekorok Lodge (FB).

Day 3: Maasai Mara
One thing is certain. The day is going to offer a lot of animals, and of course, our drivers open the skylight, so you have a great opportunity to see the animals.Binoculars and camera lenses are always a good thing to bring to areas with animals, but in Maasai Mara can ease photographing animals even with relatively small pocket cameras or mobile phone.Rivers meanders crisscrossing through the 1,500-square-kilometer reserve. Here looking animals naturally turn to drink, and there are often great opportunities to get some great pictures.
By the rivers are crocodiles lurking and trying one or more animals to cross the river, is the drama started.
The Maasai Mara is also home the largest concentration of lions in Kenya, like leopards and cheetahs are very well represented. In addition, also seen are buffaloes, rhinos and elephants.
In the Maasai Mara plains you come also to greet herds of wildebeest, zebras, hippos, giraffes and gazelles as well as a large and diverse number of different birds like secretary birds. Actually, there are registered more than 450 different bird species in the Maasai Mara, of which 53 species are birds of prey, which all thrive.
During the stay in the Maasai Mara, it is also possible to visit a Maasai village(not included). A really exciting experience and an encounter with a completely different culture. Warmly you are invited inside the village, where you are greeted by singing from the Maasai village women. You have the opportunity to get into the cabins, and to buy a souvenir to take home. A strong meeting is set as an exciting memory long after the end of the tour.Savannah is almost flat as a grass field in your home areas. And to see the sun set over the savannah of the Maasai Mara in Kenya after a great day with animals and lots of experiences is a beautiful experience. Absolutely quiet sun disappears, and suddenly the pods projecting dark.
As with the snap of a finger turns off the light, and the day is coming to an end.
The next twelve hours, the predators'. Throughout the day, they have gathered strength for the night chasing, and of nature is now seriously for graminivores; Antelopes, zebras, big and small are in play as the night's prey.
It is also possible with a flight in hot air balloon at sunrise (not included). A beautiful, beautiful experience that everyone at least once in life should give themselves, fascinating and almost unreal and a great experience, culminating with breakfast and champagne on the savannah.
