4 Days budget camping safari

We spend the whole day exploring Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives where we will have the opportunity of spotting the BIG FIVE including lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo.

We will have an option of going out with picnic lunch boxes to spend the entire whole day in the park. We will also have the option visit to local Masai village at an extra cost or balloon ride at only $450 per person.

Masai Mara is one of the best known and most popular reserves in Africa where wildebeest migration could be seen with roughly thousand of animals, at other times there are still hundreds. The plains are full of wildebeest, zebra, impala, topi, giraffe, Thomson gazelle.

Also regularly seen are leopard, lion, hyena, cheetah, jackal and bat-eared fox. Black rhinos are a little shy and hard to spot but are often seen at a distance. Every July, August and September the wildebeest travel from Tanzania Serengeti plains northwards to the Masai Mara and the Mara River is the final obstacle.

The wildebeest remain in the Mara between October and November. Between December and January the wildebeest gradually begin their migration back towards Serengeti plains in Tanzania.

Over 450 species of bird life have been identified in the park among them 57 species of birds of prey, including vulture, marabou stork, and hornbill, crowned crane, ostrich, long-crested eagle, and African pygmy-falcon.

These birds are prolific and come in every size and color including common but beautiful ones like the lilac breasted roller and plenty of other large species like eagles. All meals and overnight stay at budget tented camp. Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

We leave Masai Mara after breakfast and drive through the park with the last picturesque of the MARA and arrive Lake Nakuru National Park located in the Great Rift Valley arriving in time for lunch at the lodge followed by afternoon game drive.

Lake Nakuru is a shallow, alkaline lake where both lesser and greater flamingos can be found in vast numbers, sometimes literally turning the water pink! The birds throng on Lake Nakuru one of the Rift Valley soda lakes that comprises almost a third of the park area.

More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here as well as a rich diversity of other wildlife. The park also offers sanctuary to huge numbers of native African animals including waterbuck, warthog, impala, buffalo, Rothschild giraffe, eland, endangered black rhino, white rhino, tree climbing lion and occasionally leopard.

A large herd of hippos have a territory in the northern part of the lake making for interesting game viewing. These are just some of the animals visitors might see and the landscapes range from sweeping grasslands bordering the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland. Its acacia and euphorbia forests are havens for animals during the heat of the day, making Lake Nakuru an excellent wildlife-viewing destination while the hippo pool is a favorite spot for picnics.
