Kenya is home to an astonishing array of wildlife and landscapes and is a gameviewer's paradise. This short trip incorporates the glittering lakes of the Rift Valley and the rolling savanna of the prolific Masai Mara - made famous by the incredible yearly migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras. Kenya's birdlife is also amazingly rich, with four hundred species at the Rift Valley Lakes alone, and the rosy-pink view over the flamingo population on Lake Nakuru is particularly spectacular. We stay in only two bases to minimize travel and maximize gameviewing. Our lodge at Elementaita is an ideal place to relax after an overnight flight and to explore Lake Nakuru National Park, the best small park in East Africa with its prolific rhino population. The Masai Mara fulfills all expectations of rolling savanna, steep escarpments and prolific game.
