Day 2:
Enjoy an early breakfast in the hotel. Travelling in northerly direction, you'll pass near Thika, and then on through Nanyuki town, a bustling town in the foothills of Africa's second highest mountain, Mount Kenya.
You'll continue north through some breathtaking scenery dotted with rushing mountain streams and fields of tea and coffee and onward eventually reaching a dusty outpost known as Isiolo. From here it's a fairly short hop to your lunchtime destination, the luxurious lodge in the Shaba Game Reserve.
Located high above the Samburu River, the Sarova Shaba Lodge cleverly incorporates the beautiful natural springs as one of its special features, and also offers the perfect base from which to explore the Shaba Reserve, as well as its sister reserve - Buffalo Springs to the west (360kms 5.5hrs).

After an early breakfast bid farewell to the Shaba Game Reserve as you travel south through Isiolo, crossing the northernmost foothills of Mount Kenya, until you get to the town of Nanyuki. Here you'll head west to Nyahururu, still known to many as Thomson's Falls for its 237-foot cascade.
After a brief stopover, travel in a southerly direction to your next destination, Lake Nakuru; colored a shimmering flamingo pink from thousands of the beautiful birds lining its shores. You'll arrive at Lion Hill Lodge affording unforgettable views of the lake from its hillside perch. The Lodge also is a perfect base from where to explore the lake, with its fabulous array of birds as well as many types of game, including waterbuck, rhino, leopard and buffalo (390Kms-6hrs).
Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Nakuru National Park which is, of course, known for its birdlife as thousands of flamingos make this lake their home, among hundreds of other species. But wildlife is also in abundance here.

You'll travel across the 'breadbasket' of Kenya, covered with acres of wheat and barley, to your next destination, Mara Sarova Camp. Arrival around lunchtime.
Located within the boundaries of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, this comfortable luxury camp makes a perfect base from which to explore the wonders of this corner of Kenya (325kms 5 hrs).
Enjoy an vening game drive in this magnificent game reserve. Maasai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti ecosystem to the south. Game abounds here, particularly when the migration is on (July - September) and millions of wildebeests and zebras make their way back and forth across the Mara River on their annual trek.
The Mara is also noted for its abundance of lions - particularly the superb black manned males. You'll see lots of elephants here often in large herds, as well as leopard, cheetah and rhino.
