In addition to elephants, you can also find herds of wildebeest, buffaloes, gazelles, and many other wildlife species. Although you will encounter many more animals, what truly stands out is the high presence of elephants. All the African “Big Five” (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, and buffalo) are easily spotted here, along with other fascinating wildlife such as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyraxes, dik-diks, lesser kudus, mongooses, nocturnal porcupines, and many more.

Later in the afternoon, you have the option to take a boat trip on the second-largest freshwater lake in Kenya (cost not included). Alternatively, you can take an optional walk on Crescent Island. The terrain on the island is flat, making it easy for walkers of all abilities to enjoy themselves. The island is home to a variety of bird species and hosts giraffes, zebras, impalas, waterbucks, and other animals. Your driver-guide can arrange either of these optional excursions for you. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos that can be easily spotted from the island. Among the resident birds are fish eagles, ospreys, lily-trotters, black crakes, and a variety of herons. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the resort.

Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.


Day 6

Masai Mara National Reserve

Wildlife is abundant here, and visitors often have the opportunity to see the “Big Five” (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino). Your picnic lunch will be at the Mara River migration point.
