It is also home to the “big five”: elephant, leopard, rhino, lion and cape buffalo.
Lunch will be served upon arrival, followed by an afternoon game drive. You will explore the reserve until the late evening, at which point you will return to the camp. Here we will relax around the campfire before an excellent dinner.
Meals plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
The Masai Mara is one of the greatest wildlife wildernesses in the world. Large mammals are varied, abundant and easy to see. It is host to the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals of any wildlife park in the region. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate and the diversity of wild game species here makes it a one-stop shop for game viewing activities. We shall traverse the Masai Mara during a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the “big five” and many more. And later transfer back to Nairobi for your onward departure plans.
After Carnival Center, Early Dinner and departure, drop off at Nairobi JKI Airport

Lake Nakuru lodge
Overview
Perched on the rim and affording spectacular views of the world famous Ngorongoro crater floor below, the ivy-clad Ngorongoro Serena Lodge offers good rooms, friendly service, well run facilities and delicious food.
Ngorongoro Serena Lodge is actually built into the rim of the crater itself, with the foliage-covered native stone of the lodge blending into the surrounding hillside. The views of the crater will certainly take your breath away: the 75 rooms, bar and restaurant all overlook the picturesque valley below. The rooms have attractive wooden floors and are decorated with ancient cave art. Each features modern en suite bathrooms, patios and heating as the temperatures can significantly drop here at night.
The main building contains a large restaurant, bar, gift shop, TV area and an attractive outside decking area, perfect for relaxing while admiring the view. There are buffets for breakfast and lunch but an a la carte menu is available for dinner.
Beside the exciting safaris within the crater, there are numerous walks and activities one can do from the lodge including visits to local tribal villages.
Within Ngorongoro crater is a diverse ecosystem representing nearly every habitat found in East Africa. Open grasslands are inhabited by wildebeest, zebra, lion, cheetah and black rhino; acacia woodland provides cover for leopards; swamps supply the food for elephants and buffalos; freshwater pools harbour hippos; and a small soda lake is a feeding ground for flocks of flamingos. In addition there are small outcrops of rocks which give shade for lions and even an highly arid area of shifting sand dunes.
