Summary Of The Route and Costs
This popular 4 night/5 day road safari, which departs every Monday from Nairobi, covers the varied landscapes of Kenya’s mountainous region, lakeland and iconic savannah plains all in one tour. See the beautiful scenery of the Aberdares, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, staying in comfortable lodges and travelling in a 4x4 safari vehicle.
The tour first visits Aberdare National Park - an area of 767 square kilometres covering the higher areas of the Aberdare Mountain Ranges of Central Kenya. The topography is quite diverse with deep ravines that cut through the forested eastern and western slopes. Animals that may be spotted in the Park on your game drive here include black rhino, leopard, baboon, black and white colobus monkey and sykes monkey. Rarer sightings include lions, the golden cat and the bongo - an elusive forest antelope that lives in the bamboo forest. Bird viewing is rewarding, as there are over 250 species of birds found in the Park, including the Jackson’s francolin, sparry hawk, goshawks, eagles, sunbirds and plovers.
You then move on to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru was crowned a National Park in the sixties and in addition to its attractive lakeland scenery it offers opportunities to see lion, leopard, black rhino, hippos, giraffe, reedbuck, waterbuck, hundreds of species of bird and much more.
The tour concludes at the Masai Mara National Game Reserve - a magnificent landscape of open plains bisected by the Mara River and its tributaries, and punctuated by marshes and forests. This reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen anywhere considering its size. During the seasonal migrations, the reserve is home to up to a million wildebeest and an equally impressive number of zebra that move into the area from the neighbouring Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The reserve is home to all the Big Five and it is also possible to spot baboon, eland, ostrich, bat-eared fox and jackal when out on game drives, and the rivers abound with hippos and crocodiles.
