Look out for giraffes, zebras, gerenuks and oryx on safari in Samburu National Park. Day 4 aberdare National Park Stay at the famous Treetops Hotel in the heart of Aberdare National Park. Featuring panoramic views of the forest and waterholes below, there are opportunities for superb game viewing both night and day. Buffaloes, rhinos and giant forest hogs are common visitors around the hotel so keep an eye out. Day 5 lake Nakuru Head west to Lake Nakuru National Park in the heart of the Rift Valley. The lake is justly famous for its visiting flocks of flamingos, pelicans and cormorants but land animals are well represented also. Rare Rothschilds giraffes, and black and white rhinos all flourish within the park boundaries. Days 6-7 Masai Mara One of Africas most famous reserves, the Masai Mara is a landscape of undulating plains and riverine woodland. The vegetation sustains buffaloes, gazelles and myriad other herbivores. In turn, these creatures are food for black-maned lions, leopards, cheetahs and other stealthy predators. Drive out at dusk or dawn to catch great cats and other wildlife in action. Day 8 Nairobi Make a return to the countrys capital.
