The Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly Africa’s best Kenya Safari holiday destination due to the annual awe-inspiring migration of close to two million wildebeest and zebras at the time of the year, when thousands of them are crossing the crocodile-infested Mara/Grumeti River.
Lake Nakuru National Park was created to protect the Lake and its large flocks of Lesser Flamingo, which are drawn to the algae that flourish in the saline waters of this soda lake. The national park is inhabited by over 50 mammal species including hippo, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo and eland. Known as the best bird watcher’s paradise in Kenya, the park is home to over 450 bird species. Visitors on Safari can look forward to hiking through the scenic landscape, picnicking next to this magnificent lake, and spotting an array of wildlife on a game drive. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the beautiful Makalia Waterfall.
