On day eight, the magic of Lake Nakuru National Park awaits. Located in the Great Rift Valley, it’s a great place to spot black and white rhinos, baboons, leopards and lions. It’s also a prime flamingo territory.
For maximum immersion in this stunning place, book yourself more game drive action here on day nine before moving to Lake Naivasha on day ten, where a guided boat safari will reveal a host of hippos and water birds.
While near Lake Naivasha, we also suggest visiting Crescent Island Sanctuary. Love hiking? Head to Hell’s Gate National Park. Just a short drive from Lake Naivasha, its towering cliffs, gorges, and geothermal steam vents are an adventurer’s dream.
Talking of adventure, the last leg of this 14-day itinerary in Kenya will see you immerse yourself in the Maasai Mara National Reserve for three days. Spend day eleven settling into your lodge before enjoying a dusk game drive.
On the morning of day twelve, you could opt to take a sunrise hot air balloon ride, followed by more game drive action — including seeing dramatic wildebeest crossings during the Great Migration, at the right time of year. More on that below.
That said, even outside the July-October migration period, the river is an incredible place to see crocodiles and hippos.
After visiting a Maasai village on day thirteen, or you’ll head back to Nairobi for your flight home on day fourteen.
