Morning Flight Nairobi – Masai Mara (ca. 1 hour)

The Masai Mara – endless seas of golden grass dotted with hesitant shrubs, broken here and there with the ghostly acacia trees and ringed by distant hills, the chocolate Mara river waters with frolicking hippos, immensely rich animal life including countless game and large prides of lions – fulfils the expectations of any visitor searching the African landscapes portrayed in movies such as "Out of Africa". From July to October, this is the sight of one of the most spectacular and dramatic sites on earth - the annual migration of one million wildebeests and 200,000 zebras following the seasonal rains in a quest for the best pastures, finding along the way the crocodile-crowded river.

Accommodation: Saruni or Ol Seki

Flight Masai Mara – Lake Natron (ca. 30min)

Driving into the Great Rift Valley to Lake Natron is an unforgettable experience in itself - after a 30 minutes drive from Nairobi, the ground suddenly drops and from the edge of the escarpment you enjoy a spectacular view of the dramatic Rift Valley Landscape. Continuing onwards creates the sensation of driving to the centre of the earth - down, down, down ... while the air temperature gets hotter every minute and you glide through the arid and moonlike landscape of the rift valley escarpment, you come to think that this journey will never end - and you don't want it to end as it gives you an exhilarating sensation of freedom. Beyond Magadi Town which has the atmosphere of a gold rush settlement the journey turns into a real adventure.
Your stay in this part of the Rift Valley will add to the sensation of being at the end of the world – during game drives and bush walks you will hardly ever see anybody else and sunrises over the dry Rift Valley are deeply moving moments, and a sensation of peace and tranquillity will eventually let all worries of the world seem far away.

Accommodation: Little Shompole or Shompole
